MOT: None
Inspired by the three-cylinder Honda NS500 Grand Prix motorcycle that ‘Fast’ Freddie Spencer rode to clinch the 1983 500cc World Championship (after a thrilling season long battle with Yamaha’s Kenny Roberts), the roadgoing NS400R was in limited production between 1985 and 1987. Honda’s largest displacement, street legal, two-stroke machine, the NS400R followed in the foot steps of similar race replicas from Yamaha and Suzuki. An exciting ride, the model has developed something of a cult following.
Supplied new to the UK, this Honda NS400RF has twice belonged to the current owner. Selling the race replica to a friend after twelve years’ custodianship, he jumped at the chance of buying it back in 2022. A motorcycle mechanic by profession, the vendor tells us that the Honda is ‘running very well’. Substantially original, ‘C836 XPY’ looks the part in its Rothmans-esque livery but has picked up the odd cosmetic blemish after thirty-nine years. Increasingly collectible and still a thrill to ride, this desirable Honda is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document.
