The other thing about HONDA is it is one of the only ,If not the only Automotive company which is still privately owned in Japan.Unlike Toyota,Kawasaki,Yamaha and Suzuki these are all owned by big conglomerate's or are subsiduaries of larger parent companie's.(Toyota make houses boats and loads of other things in Japan as also Subaru is a subsiduary of Fuji heavy industries)
One thing everybody seems to forget Soichiro hated 2 Strokes and the NS/RS & NSR's were only born due to the embarasing failures of the NR in GP racing.
It was due to the skill and engineering prowess of Miyakoshi-san (Head of MX development during the 70's) that these 2 strokes were born.(He was the man who come up with the V3 concept)
Had the NR proved succesful earlier in its racing life WE would never have had the NSR.
So if it was'nt for this technolgical marvel's failure (NR) we would never have had the the bike we have all come to love the NSR.
