The Honda NS400R was a street-legal road-oriented two-stroke sport bike produced by Honda Motor Co., Ltd between 1985 and 1987 and inspired by Honda's NS500 (also known as the RS500R) 500cc GP-bike ridden by Freddie Spencer. The NS400R is the largest-displacement, street-legal two-stroke road bike that Honda produced. The limited-production NS400R was only sold from 1985 to 1988. Freddie Spencer grabbed Honda's 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. Yamaha and Suzuki had already released street-legal replica racers, and Honda answered the challenge with the NS400R in 1985. The 387cc liquid-cooled two-stroke V-3 cranked out 72hp at 9,500rpm.
This Honda NS400R has formed part of a collection of motorcycles. In good condition and complete with its striking Rothmans colour scheme, it has not been used since purchased a couple of years ago. The machine will require light recommissioning before any use, especially for road use. A V5C will need to be applied for once with a new owner.
