Click on image for the eBay link. What: 1992 NR
Where: Shepherds Bush, UK
Why: A rare chance to acquire an NR
Price: Buy It Now of $75,600
The NR was produced only for the 1992 model year, and was a bit of exotica built to showcase Honda's engineering and manufacturing prowess...and to retrieve a tiny bit of the ocean of yen it took to develop the oval piston technology, which began years earlier with their ultimately unsuccessful NR500 Gran Prix racing efforts.
With an original MSRP of $50,000 these bikes have always been display queens, and rising values will further serve to keep them off the road (if a road-going bike was ever the intention). The NRs seldom change hands (publicly) so this opportunity will be taken seriously by collectors worldwide. This bike has a little bit of wear and tear to show for its 5000 miles, so the asking price may be a little steep, along with the expense and potential tangled web of importing it. It's available at a dealer in England who's importing it from Japan.
Here's a YouTube video from MCN of an NR being ridden as it hits 262 kph, or 163 mph:
