Still can't see any Yamaha's??

Considering that it is a ''HONDA'' museum, I don't see why there would be Yamaha's there.

Some fantastic old Hondas in there - must pay a visit if I am ever in the vicinity wink

I spent a couple of years campaigning an XR200 mono in local enduros a couple of decades ago. Nice and light but the head shake at speed was frightening no

Not trying to argue just saying.

If you can see 5 Yamaha's and I can't see any, maybe I need to get my eyes checked or it is a case of ''selective attention'' on my behalf. wink

 LOL... Not easly as Mr Honda found out...

get 8 pistons... put each 2 side by side... then make the bore & pistons oval..

2 con rods per piston / 8 valves per bore / 2 spark plugs / 2 ex & inlet ports all in a 

motor not much wider that the Honda V4's

Honda NR750...

The technology of the day & the technology required to build a relieable motor just diddn't line up...
Remember these were built 20 odd years ago..
From what I have read they still look at it from time to time... Not forgotten just on the back burner
till technology catchs up with the idea & makes it possable...

there big issue was un-even exspantion of the piston & bore due to the oval shape...

It didn't.  nodohdisbelief

The racing NR Honda won only one race.

It became a red faced Mr Honda that retired a very expensive 4 cylinder Honda road bike that pretended to be a v8. wink

The real Honda Nemisis was the piston ring of the NR.

They were rumoured to be hand fashioned. Could they be laser cut/computer worked nowadays? Or even printed?

I have NEVER seen a picture of the NR piston complete with ring, nor the oval piston of the road bike.

Some even say such examples never existed! no

The remaining museum examples of NR are revered and worshiped, but rarely seen running, cry and certainly not raced. nono

The F1 & racing car section is cool as well, just walk through to the other section & go up to level 3

Saw 3 of the Honda's I've had XL250 motorsport, XL250s, XR250RC...didn't see an XR400R but I bet there will be one somewhere in there

Cheers Terry

 I stand corrected - I have now seen pictures of a Honda NR750 piston complete with rings
