NS500 vintage Model Kit

I did not know where else to post this but I thought VFRWorld would like a look at this.

I got this model kit back in 1985 when I worked at a Honda dealer here in Texas. The Honda Rep was giving them out and I snagged one. Freddie Spencer's old bike and it was a freaking beast. Never got to see him ride it in a GP. He grew up in my area and got to see him on CB750F's locally and he ruled!

Anyway I got this kit and never assembled it. It has been on my shelf ever since. I can post more pictures if interested.

 

Here it is in the flesh, sporting the Numero Uno. Honda Museum Motegi.

 

Oooohh! Motegi photos!

I'll see your NS500, and raise you one NR500...



I loved Motegi!

 

I must make that pilgrimage before I die!

 

Was that the bike with the oval pistons? Crazy

 

Not the easiest place to get to; three train rides plus a taxi from metro Tokyo, took us all day. But well worth the visit. You can take a virtual tour with the link below.

The museum also publishes to YouTube where the exhibits get ridden around the paved path behind the museum.
