80’s 2-strokes 👏👏
05:40 Two stroke music at its best. When everything goes electric we will miss these little jewels.
I drooled over these when they were new and was trying hard to get one of the ones imported for racing, but never did. Now that I'm older and have more money............
They are great bikes! Hopefully you're able to fulfill that childhood dream of yours.
Dream bike right here. V3 two stroke 🥰
The thing I like most about this bike is how the racing pedigree is found in a lot of details, but still it is also a very comfortable and well thought out bike. Quickly and easily adjustable suspensions knobs, quarter turn screws for the fairings (and generally very few screws for all other parts for quick Maintenance), fixed front axle bushings with a drop-out construction for quick wheel changes and so on... I just love it 😍
I should have had you write my script haha well well said
Yeah it's the little things that really add up to a great machine - awesome video !
Thanks 👍
Awesome vid as always! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed!
My favourite color on one of my favourite bike's ever.
Nice review Pete
Thanks
the most comfortable bike I owned.
I'll never forget the lower fork fairing with TRAC sticker
Beautiful Example. Man I miss 2 strokes.
Long live 2 strokes!
So sick!!!
i had one (rothams colours) as my first propere bike at 17, it was glorious until the crankshaft turned into a bananna while i was doing 110mph destroying the engine :( nearly 40 now and id love another one still :)
OUCH!!! Hopefully you were able to keep the bike upright
@@PetesClassicCycle yeah I did by pure luck, had my mate on the back at the time, clutch did nothing, left a 300m ish lock to lock skid down the A14, when I finally came to a stop you could see the bead of the tyre!
The best looking bike ever!
She's definitely a stunner
Beautiful still today. Would kill to own one.
What a nice bike pity they never made it a 500 with the same engine layout as freddies
I agree, that would have been great. With the other brands doing 500's I'm surprised they didn't
Stratosferica❤❤
Excellent overview and nice machine. Yes - Honda did a great job on that bike. I always found the front fork lowers to look cool - are they part of the front fender?
No, they are two separate panels. The left one also incorporates a little knob for adjusting the honda TRAC System :)
What top speeds did anyone get from these please anyone??
210 Km/H (on track) , standard machine
Probably about 130mph
Yeah I've had RZs NSRs TZRs and RGs, but I've never had a NS400r. Some day
That's awesome! I was pleasantly surprised with the NS400r. I think it's the perfect cherry on top to any 2 stroke collection.
Spit it out mate 😊
72 hp under 400 lbs same hp less weight than my 85 600 ninja which was pretty fast. And 2 stroke power is best.
I don't think they made Anywer near 72bhp one test reported the 350ypvs as having more power than the NS I do remember that....anybody can help?
@@stephenhurst9257 american version is like 20hp lower than ones made for other countries due to smog regulations
It's a really nicely built bike & a great street bike but you just can't get past the real pity of the bike, why the living f*** didn't they make it a 500?
Agreed!! That little bit of extra power would have been a world of difference.
Honda didn't want to get sued like Suzuki and Yamaha did for making bikes too powerful that were being crashed by riders with not enough experience .
@@waynepantry7023 I can sort of see this point, given some of the 'just like a 500GP bike' hype, but then again the 1985 Honda catalogue had bikes that were far more powerful than any the 500 2 strokes.....& heavier, harder to handle & with lesser performing brakes etc etc.
The biggest tragedy in cycling is this bike never was imported to America.
My dad had one in Guatemala
