I just bought one here in Japan. I’d snatch it up in a heartbeat if I had 70gs just lying around. The NR engine development started in ’79 with their GP bikes….many configurations….many new technologies explored and some just resurrected. 1992 Oval piston Honda NR750 RC40 For Sale, £88000 Honda's oval-pistoned RC40 was … So Necron99, I think they call that a “straw man argument,” since absolutely no one here actually suggested the NR750 wasn’t rare, or a sportbike, or… most of what you said. A pretty civilized and amusing comment thread, but it feels like the discussion part has concluded. And I’m not a Honda hater – I love my RC30 – its a crap road bike but it does great at what it was designed for – the track. It only produced 120bhp at a heady 14,000rpm and it weighed a hefty 222kg. 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!

After all, you have to be the only guy in the comments section who can actually speak from personal experience about this bike, and it’s very interesting to hear that the cliches about Honda’s engineering excellence hold true here. Thanks again to everyone who commented. They’re on the list too! 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!

Anyone who would like a video of the bike running, send me a message and I’ll happily send a video or a link.

Who else lost as much money on oval pistons as Honda? And excel this one did! Just had a full service complete with all fluids and a new battery. The seller not only states the incorrect year, but also the model name; the street version was simply called NR. RC30 will wax an NR around any track and was 5 years old when the NR hit the street, hum-drum plain old round pistons and all. Yup. Things like in the late 80’s a fully functional remote controlled car smaller than a grain of rice. It was never a successful racer, and the ONLY reason to do oval pistons is to fit the valve area of an 8 into the 4 that the RACING rules allowed. Albeit a much more powerful and noisy one!

Honda doesn’t care if Marquez wins races – no, what they care about is outspending the other MFGs. Its about which manufacturer has the most money to throw at engineering exercises. Rare? They do shit like this just for fun. Honda Motorcycles. Honda wanted more valve area and lower rotating masses, and the V4’s oblong pistons ( roughly the shape of the carbon detail on the key ) … 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. On the bright side, perhaps Honda would support parts for this well, but you’d be dealing directly with Japan. I appreciate the bike for what it was and what it is, an engineering marvel. Pure crap then, ‘eh? Race. 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?

It’s the kind of bike that takes me back to being a kid and reading about all the crazy parts you couldn’t get on our bikes at the time. I sure didn’t, and this seems directed at me. Good luck with the sale! I mean, after they won one race with it, they retired the entire oval-piston concept, aside from the very limited production bike seen here, right?
