The limited-production Honda NS400R was produced by Honda between 1985 and 1987. Adapted from Honda's NS500 Grand Prix motorcycle ridden by "Fast" Freddie Spencer, the NS400R was the company's largest-displacement street-legal two-stroke road bike. ‘Fast’ Freddie Spencer gave Honda their first 500cc class win in 15 years on an NS500 in 1982 and then rode a lighter and more powerful NS500 to a 1983 500cc World Championship victory. Yamaha and Suzuki had already released street-legal replicas of their racing bikes, so Honda responded with the NS400R in 1985.
On offer is a very original 1987 Honda NSR400R, with one owner from 1988 until 2021, it has seen little use most of its life and has been UK registered since new and with just some 15,748 miles displayed. Presenting as ‘original and unrestored’, there are some signs of use on the machine. When the current owner purchased the Honda it was sent to Spa Motorcycles in Cheltenham for recommissioning (invoices on file), since recommissioning for the road, the vendor has not used it much and due to other commitments. It is being offered with a current V5C and invoices for work carried out.
