In '99 you could buy a NSR500 !!

Full HRC bikes were up for sale in '99

The 500 would have emptied your mortgage account by 9,300,000 Yen (today's exchange rate = £59,500)

I think that was a damn good deal - your getting a bike that cost the facatory millions on R&D

Still not equipped with the MotoGP's bikes spec' but hey your only ever going to need that gear if your chasing Vali'

I wonder if their is a stash of these waiting to come out in another 10yrs time Laughing

haven't seen any pop up this year but you just never know !

here is a nice sound byte to listen too:

It would have to be Repsol or Shell Advance for the NSR500V I think! Wink

I hope they are released soner rather than later, as I doubt we'll even be able to buy two stroke oil in 2020! Shocked
