The Honda NR (New Racing) is a v-four motorcycle engine series started by Honda in 1979 with the 500cc NR500 Grand Prix racer that used oval pistons. Honda's oddball oval-pistoned RC40 was only produced in limited numbers, 300 to be precise. With connecting rods, fuel injectors, and four valves at each end of the pistons – RPM, horsepower, and complexity took quantum leaps. It is controversial and my similar vintage 900RR is my choice for commuting or riding with the mrs ( no dual seat on NR) but you can’t beat an NR as a road going collection cetrepiece imho. It is truly amazing. It’s definitely a bike (I’m sure some fool will want to come along and argue differently- “just ‘cuz”), and you’d also have to say its intent is sporting. Right outta the box, no SPO/SPS/R/RR needed, just included stock. The NR750 is unbelievably cool and drop dead gorgeous. I reckon it’s a Japanese bubble economy fuelled middle finger to the world. Pretty amazing when you realize Honda’s history in the 60’s developing 250 and 350 six cylinder four strokes (and others) revving to the stratosphere with Hailwood aboard and winning races.
After riding NR the BMW feels like an adventure bike. And after finally winning ONE race with it, Honda put the entire oval-piston concept to bed, aside from this extremely limited production roadbike. Funky, and finding replacement oval pistons will prove to be a biotch. Hey Steve! The NR500 was followed in the 1980s by the factory’s NR750 endurance racer, and in 1992, the $50,000 NR was offered to … The race NR750 delivered in spades and was pretty much unstoppable. he seems to be selling off bikes lately……. Like I said: lazy. Trust me, most everyone [including me] reading this would jump at the chance to take a spin on one, so thanks for chiming in! In 1987 it did what is was supposed to do as a race bike and in 1992 it did what is was supposed to as a road bike. It was at the top of my dream list and I had a chance and took it.
This is an immaculate example of an extremely rare Honda NR750, oval piston model. Honda had no choice but to stop development, the FIM did not want Ducati to lose. should we be checking up on Nicholas Cage and see if hes ok? (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); As rare as the Honda NR750 is, if one was in the market to buy, there are usually a couple to choose from at any given time somewhere in the world.
Did you miss that part?
Good suspension – yawn on a $50k machine Under 5000km. If you would like additional attribution for your work we are happy to accommodate. Billy when a manufacturer sets off to build only 200 of anything their intentions aren’t to build the best road racer or road going bike on the planet. Featured Listing – 1976 Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans with Under 2,000 Miles !
As a technological tour de force, it works in typical Honda form. Seriously though – hats off to the actual NR owners who chimed in here – you have very cool, obviously desirable bikes, and you aren’t regurgitating the cheerleading and hype that surrounds them. . I was with some non-riding friends, and they were astounded at the technology. I hope that whomever can afford this bike is stoked as hell when he receives it. I’m not a huge fan of the road bike’s styling, although I love the sheer self-indulgent audacity of the mechanical components.

No I’m not going to pay $70k for the novelty of oval pistons on an otherwise unremarkable machine, performance-wise, even compared to it’s contemporary counterparts. Also: clever screen name. So, “unstoppable” for one race? But again, Honda is an engineering company and they made it work. I fully understand what this bike is about. Its a surprisingly wide bike (many have damage or scuffs on the rear right where riders boots impacted unaware of the width). I also have a Harley Night Rod Special and a S1000RR so the NR isn’t for speed. Really happy to read all the comments (good and bad) Honda doesn’t care if Marquez wins races – no, what they care about is outspending the other MFGs. The NR750 did exactly what it was supposed to do. I’d love to have one.
Who else lost as much money on oval pistons as Honda? Full carbon, hand laid bodywork? Turin it’s because the nit pickers have way cooler bikes in their garages I’m sure. This road going NR750 uses elliptical piston with curved long sides. Regarding power output it would’ve been disappointing then and can be quite easily upgraded but not about to fuss with it now. Yes, techno-marvel, and if that’s your thing, then by all means, this is a Holy Grail bike and should go right next to your GTS1000, BMW K1 and Nortan rotary.

Hopefully the bike has found a new home. An RC30 was $15k, the NR was $50k. Just the bits of stories that I heard about the testing and all the teething problems that they went through, just the fact that it works and works well is magic to me, they made it work! Don’t take my word for it, take Alan Cathcart’s: https://riders.drivemag.com/features/honda-nr750-rc40-test-unaffordable-excellence. Mostly by journalists looking for a heated debate.
Not that I’m talking down the NR so that I can afford to buy one someday or anything…but since we have all of the world’s NR experts/fanbois assembled here, what part of Honda’s awesome engineering vision required them to give it less power than a 1987 CBR600FH? Yours, if you're loaded. I appreciate the bike for what it was and what it is, an engineering marvel. Sure, it was “unstoppable.” For one. Put bar risers and bags on it and it makes an excellent cross country sport touring mount. Yes it was a engineering exercise along with for the era and time one hell of a styling exercise as well.
A V8 in the guise of a V4.
The original NR500 was really just a sly way to build a V-8 engine while complying with rules limiting engines to four combustion chambers. Honda was founded in 1940s Japan by Soichiro Honda. Featured Listing – 1982 Honda CB450T with 1,682 Miles ! It looks diminutive next to S1000RR. If its considered a failure by anyone, we’ll still declare victory regardless of the ‘facts’, and if that all still doesn’t convince the nay-sayers, we’ll just blame Ducati…. Rare? Oh and Donn, not sure on the “Born Ready” title – the joke back in the day was that NR stood for “Never Ready”, due to the long development time and ultimately underwhelming final street product!
Not making more power than your turbo Busa? Sorry, but don’t you mean “win race”?
I don’t expect everyone to love it and didn’t buy it for them anyway. Most of what I wrote was actually about the endurance racing NR750, not the road bike from the post. Not a lot of HP (I heard the fly in the oval piston ointment is getting the piston rings to seal correctly), heavy, and didn’t impress/succeed in racing. Twin cat eye headlamps with big intakes underneath?
