In the mid 80's each of the Japanese
manufacturers was represented in the 'two-stroke
Daddy' class, Honda's was the NS400R.
It was never quite as fast as the RG500
or the RG500 but it wasn't as likely to
blow up either and if you've ever been
stranded on the side of the road you soon
learn which is preferable. The NS is still
a fast and desirable bike and in this
paint scheme it is magnificent.
