This articles a few months old so some of you may have already read it. For those that havn't it's an interesting read for any fans of either bike.

NRs are just bloody wicked. Much more special juice on them than
even on my no9!!
Excellent...the vid on youtube by that Dutch bloke is brilliant - what a noise.
If I ever get minted..I am going to buy two of them..one to track and one to play out on

The article pretty much says it all. The process behind the NR is all the Honda stands for, and probably we we still love our dear VFR's so much.
If I could only have one the NR would win hands down.. I've only ever seen two of them in the flesh and sadly neither of them were runnign when I saw them
I recall somebody who had ridden one quite a bit said the noise was like a bassdrum being cut in half by a chainsaw.
Maybe we should all pool some money together and try and buy one as a club bike

Those NR's are just so lovely, it's the little touches I like how the lower fairing passes the rear wheel and the one piece top fairing. It's certainly one of those bikes you wouldn't want to drop!

if you do have your bag loaded with money, well spend a trip to holland...here are a couple of RC40's for sale (price tag: 55.000 euro each!)
Shot this photo of one of them at the annual bike show (heard that NR-engine running...a beauty!)

You do mean the 93 CBR900RR-P in the background right, not the VFR?
One of my dream bikes that..
Actually It could be a 92 RRN, I can't remember which year had which color.. either way it's an original model
