You are still able to buy an NSR500V, the twin that Honda brought out to help the privateers, expect £50k plus, I am lucky to know several people that own one of these, and I believe Stephenrc45 who was a regular on here, ( he of GT performance ) still has one, I also have a very good friend who owns an early 500, of the type that Freddie Spencer rode, cant remember if its the RS500, or NS500, you will certainly need upwards of £100k for one of those. I doubt you will ever get your hands on one unless you rob the Honda museum. Better off to do what I did, go for a 250 and 125, pukka GP bikes, more affordable and a joy to ride without scaring yourself to death, well the 125 anyway, the 250 can get a bit hairy with close to 80bhp, ( Hondas figures not mine ), that's for my 92 model, at the end of the 250's reign in GP's the works NSR250 was around 100bhp. I can only try and imagine what it was like to ride one of those 180bhp 500's, I can remember watching Mick Doohan gradually turn grey during those years, and i'm convinced it was the stress and strain of hanging on to one of those beasts. sadly we only get to see these sort of machines nowadays at some classic events.
