i discovered this bike today and i think it's absolutely... incredible. The detail on the kickstand, the beautifull design of the fairing, the exhaust, the swingarm and the rear rim, I'm out of breath !
Adam. Thank you again for sharing #112 during my visit to Iconic. It was a day i will never forget. To finally see, hear and sit on that bike was fantastic last year. Your enthusiasm for Iconic shows through as well as the people that work with you. Thank you for the ride along video. It was magical.
It was the last time I saw Mr SENGOKU riding as a martial bike on the course of the 8-hour endurance road race at Suzuka Circuit in 2003, and I haven't seen the MR750 running since then. This is a supreme work of art created by the Japanese
Very nice! I remember this bike when it was introduced and the magazines doing a review on it, I saw one in person back in the day but it was way outside my price range. My love for motorcycles and their history actually the 1987 VFR750R (RC30) and 1988 Honda Hawk GT (RC31) were some of the first bikes to have the single sided swingarm similar to todays styling.
So badass, I had a diecast one as a kid. As an adult I assumed it was a cbr and my memory of it was just mixed with something else but the black bottom with the lettering on the red paint and exhaust out the back and the shape of the front fairing are by far one of my favorite looks deff a bucket list bike for sure
Back when this thing came out, my local dealer, in the middle of nowhere in The Netherlands (Safe Motoren, Staphorst), had one of these for sale! It cost 10 times as much as a CBR 600 F.
Wow! I had forgotten all about that bike. I can't remember if I've ever seen video of it! Catching the briefest glimpse of the bit of green and red on the bike on the left 4:10, I instantly thought BIMOTA! Are they still around and do you have any! Remember the Tesi, and wasn't there a Tuatara :)
That red/white/green bike is actually a Ducati Panigale, but we do have several Bimotas! We've sold a couple of Tesis and V-Dues, and we also have a 0-mile SB8R as well as a Santamonica. We love our Bimotas, and we also have a Tesi 3D currently available for sale: iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/2008-bimota-tesi-3d-with-137-miles/ Here's some other Bimotas we've recently sold: iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/1995-bimota-tesi-1d-ef/ iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/1998-bimota-v-due-with-0-miles/ Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the upload. There is precious few modern videos of these things. I've only ever seen one in the flesh, and that was at the Honda museum in Motegi. Edit: I just noticed your camera guy has an F900r. Clearly a man of good taste. (I have one too. 😅)
@@alifwibisono1000 I have owned 2 Blackbirds, one carb and one FI. They where both fantastic bikes but I preferred the carb version, more raw and smoother than the FI. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Love my little VFR 800 5th gen I own at the moment
I love the windscreen ... I run the Magical Racing supercoat windscreen on my zx10 and old 1199r and they are unreal clear .. just a bit pricey . When I fly out your way in Fed/March for work I want to stop in and say hi and check out a NC35 if you have any. It’s Pharmfedson btw . Your living the dream bro keep it up so I can continue to live victoriously through you 😂
Such a cool bike I have seen one in person and it's so bad ass . I mean today's Ducati's V4 Street Fighter is a better looking bike or The mighty MV dragster with the red rims and black spokes is my all time most beautiful bike ever The Lewis Hamilton edition is truly a sight to be seen . This bike tho when it came out it was so exotic. Now you look at the tail section and it's like well I could use some storage there .
@@IconicMotorbikes i heard it has to do with our climate and sheer amount of road traffic. The asphalt gets bad when it barely rains and gets dry, then suddenly it rains a lot for a little bit. Couple that with the heavy traffic in california, its bad for the roads. Also the state is BIG so theres a lot of road to repair. I've been seeing a lot more freeway work done nowadays but theres a lot of road to cover in cali
When you were getting up in the high rpm's the engine sound echo'd something like the "big bang" Honda GP 500's in the the 90's!!! There maybe an engine development connection between those bikes..?
I think the NR was even-firing. The big-bang engines were 2-stroke. A big-bang configuration in a 2-stroke is probably just a normal day at the office for a 4-stroke. My understanding is the NR team and NS teams at Honda were mostly separate. The NR500 was a Manhattan Project type undertaking to drag 4-strokes back into competition, whereas the NS was a small 2-stroke side project to hedge their bets in case the NR couldn't catch the Yamahas and Suzukis. The NS proved way more successful, eventually taking over and becoming the monstrous NSR series including the big-bang bikes. The NR project got this super sexy 750 street bike as a sort of going-away present and love letter.
Very nice! I only saw once personally, in the 90's. Lovely. Years later I had a nsr 125, 2strokes, inspired on this bike. For how much are these things going nowadays?
@@IconicMotorbikes nice! I remember hearing 50.000$ in that era (90's). Anyway, thanks! Please do a similar video on a Bimota 500vdue. Maybe already on the channel, sry if it is. Cheers!
@@Vapod sadly, not yet. We've received two V-Dues, both with zero miles so we didn't want to ride them. One was a runner that we sold, the other does not run currently and it's in our display hall at the shop!
Kilometres are better than Miles, everyone likes higher velocities, and, all your rides are longer too! Sweet ride, excellent video. "I've got four of these..." Nice!
I believe so, I heard from someone at Honda that quite a bit of development came out of Europe so I'm not entirely sure what he was referring too but I believe ELF was French, I'm sure someone will help us, I'd like to know also
@@IconicMotorbikes ELF is indeed French - here's a good read on the developments their race team brought to the world of endurance racing if anyone is curious: www.motorcyclistonline.com/elf-racing-elf-motorcycle-chassis-designs-retrospective/

What a machine.... so sexy.. such great design... If they would catch you doing 100kph within urban limits they would take your license and matter of transportation and hit you with a massive fine and a courtdate, where i'm from.
Honda really do know how to waste huge amounts of money on R&D projects, this bike's predecessor was built for racing & was a total unreliable flop, Honda had so much money in it, they still went ahead with this, the customer road version NR750 even knowing it was an engineering disaster, Honda squandered millions on this project & never made a bean.
Imagine showing up at your local Honda dealer for a tune up, I’m sure the service manager would need an under ware change.
Imagine showing up at your machine shop wanting to overbore the cylinders to rebuild it!
I love how over engineered the kickstand is! And everything about the bike as well! Great content guys
Yeah, the kickstand is one of my favorite parts of this bike. It is just so extra!
It's such a riot! The good old days when manufacturers were just letting their imaginations go wild! Hope to see those days again
@@IconicMotorbikes ever motorbike should have that design of kickstand, its incredible!
FINALLY a video on RUclips worthy of this legendary bike. Thank you !
Glad you liked it!

sounds like a 4l banger combined with a shifter kart, pure goodness
What a beautiful motorcycle! Timeless 30 years old machine!
Who doesn’t remember this bike in the magazines when it first came out. Truly Iconic and a great video to show it off
Thanks so much! Going to keep improving by having fun so far!
Thank you for making real world footage of this legend.

NR750, my favorite sportbike of my childhood, I was got my model NR750.
It's certainly iconic. Two were at my event at Donington on Friday parading the track.
0:55 “14 years of research and development”. No wonder people said that NR stands for Never Ready.
Thanks for taking us on a ride on such and Iconic Motorbike.🔥
Our pleasure!
Dream bike. along with the RC30. (And this man rode these two... You lucky b..... ^^)
Back when this thing came out, my local dealer, in the middle of nowhere in The Netherlands (Safe Motoren, Staphorst), had one of these for sale! It cost 10 times as much as a CBR 600 F.
It doesn't need to be on the road to appreciate it, just sitting in the living room would be just fine, what a bikr.
what a gorgeous looking bike
You have the rarest piece of machine in that Malibu big parking lot!
Great upload! Looking forward to future content!
Thanks! A lot more to come!
Very nice! 日本からコメントします。
エンジン音聞かせて頂きました。
良い音しています。
私のＮＲも、1993年に購入してから31年経ちましたが、相変わらず良い音を聞かせてくれます。
916について
1994年に916を発売する際にタンブリーニ氏が、ＮＲのデザインに影響を受けたと言っていました。
ＮＲは希少価値の高いバイクです。大切に乗って行きましょう。
I was lucky enough to see one in Suffolk, England last year at a motorbike show, and it was raining!
Awesome bike! Thanks for the ride. 👍
Definitely need to visit this meet on holiday one year looks awesome compared to uk

Great Video👍🏻The NR is a Beauty🤩
underrated channel and video
Stunning piece of engineering, made at the pinnacle of Honda's motorcycle innovation. The Honda V4 engines are like a Swiss watch.
Really hard to go wrong with a Honda. Out of all the brands we work on (and we work on them all), rarely find any gremlins with Hondas!
@@IconicMotorbikes If you had to pick one bike to own for the rest of your life what would it be?
