Do you have any racing documentation?
Where has it been raced, how many times has it been down, how many hours are on
the engine in it's current low end top end configuration?
Pic's?
Where are you located?
Where did you get the bike from?
Thanks,
DT

On a side note, an NSR500 was recently stolen from a display that Honda
Canada put on (brought in a '97 NSR for the 50th anniversary celebrations,
and it disappeared).
I'm not going to claim that this is that bike, but when the guy says very
rare, he's bang on. I don't think anyone outside of Honda owns a recent NSR
four, (I believe even the racing teams lease them) so I'd sure want to
check the provenance of this $50,000-odd bike before writing a cheque.

Is this before or after it hit the Honda crushing machine?

Well...
If it's an NSR500V,
it isn't best GP racing bike, and it isn't very rare.
If it's KYOSHO's NSR500,
it's a radio-control machine :-(
If it's TAMIYA's, ONYX's or HASEGAWA's NSR500,
it could not race :-P
If it's TOMY's NSR500, please e-mail me :-)
HAHAHA!

The Honda V4 has at least 180 hp, probably more and weighs 286 pounds. The
Yamaha? I'm not sure but it probably has 135 hp and weighs about 400 lbs
wet.

You would think that a streetbike with lights, alternator, steel rims etc.
would be lighter than a purpose-built Formula One machine brimming with
magnesium, titanium and carbon-fiber??!?
I can only assume you made a typo there pal! :)
For performance comparison's sake, Cycle Canada once tested one of the old
Honda triples. I think it did low-10s in the quarter mile. The new fours
have about 50-60 more hp, and have been clocked at 200mph at Hockenheim.

R1 will have a higher top speed, but I'm sure the NSR would have better
acceleration.
Graham Byrnes
These would have to be NSR500V's... the twins. The 4's are never sold, only
leased to teams.
In which case the half-dry weight (ready to go except for fuel) is 109kg.
I'd guess that in similar trim, an R1 would come in at 190kg at least. By stripping all the
road gear and adding some light weight brackets and fairings, you might get down
below the SBK weight limit, to maybe 155kg.
As a roadbike, I'm afraid the NSR would be a dog. Jack-hammer suspension,
ridiculously close ratio gearbox, CF brakes that don't work when cold, mind
boggling consumption of mega-dollar race fuel and 500km between rebuilds.
No thanks.

The R1 would have a higher top speed? What?
Wasn't that Okada doing 201 mph some years ago on the NSR at
Hockenheim?
R1. Pfffth. Like comparing a Nascar to an F1 car.

I have no objection to your opinion,
although doing 201 mph was not Okada
but Shin'ichi Itoh.

street bike. Apples and oranges! The R1 couldn't hope to keep up in
a short race but would dominate in an endurance race (which is why the
GP bikes never run very long races). As far as the street goes, the
R1 would dominate as soon as the two stopped to get gas at the local
gas station! (What do you mean you don't have exotic race fuel? What
kind of a gas station is this anyway?!?!). Of course if you could
afford a NSR in the first place you could probably have a fuel truck
waiting for you....
Getting back to the original post, if this guys has a NSR for sale
it's either very old or very stolen. You make the call......

Well, IIRC, a typical GP runs about 45 minutes or so. That's hardly a
sprint.
NSRs have a very specific mission in life: be the fastest 500cc
road-course motorcycles in the world, and do it for an hour or so.
As you rightly point out, an R1 is a way different animal, and a more
suitable road bike (if only just :). But the original poster was foolishly
suggesting that an NSR might be slower or otherwise an inferior track bike
to an R1. For that he was roundly mocked and corrected. an NSR is quicker,
faster, and corners faster than an R1 (though to be fair, the 250s and 500
twins can carry more corner speed than the 500 fours). Put Mick Doohan on a
supersport-prepped R1 and he would be left for dead in half a lap (less at
Suzuka :).
For me, I'm still waiting for a turbine-powered bike. Does anyone know if
there's anywhere to get those "build a turbine on a milling lathe!" plans
that used to be advertised in the back of Popular Mechanics? Better yet,
anyone know of a souce for lightweight non-aviation-grade turbines? I think
a 50 lb. Turbine would look really cute nestled between my FZR's frame
spars, and with time I'm sure I could solve the exhaust-routing problems.

naah, its probably just a V-twin. There are some around!
Are y'all a little disappoited in the twin. We were lead to believe it was
to be a modern day Norton Manx, fairly competitive hardware anyone could
buy.

More like comparing a Nascar to the Thrust SSC. Not even in the same league.
BTW, with all these posts and what we know about the stolen NSR from Toronto, where is
PScribbles, the guy who originally posted 4-sale? It's kinda' funny that in the midst of
all the chat comparing apples to oranges, we potentially lost a chance to recover a stolen
bike.
PScribbles, what the dilly-yo?
