Finally found a colour pic of the HRC NC23 like on the front of the HRC Manual

Colour pic from brochure I recently acquired:




And here is a suzuka 4 hour NC23:

Nice one mate. Interesting to see how quickly the HRC style parts made it onto the production bikes i.e. the high rise pipes on the 88 HRC NSR were added onto the 89 road bike.

They didn't the 23&29 never really changed, there were at least 4 very diferent incarnations of the NSR although admitadly the 21&28 were almost identicle bar pipes, electrics and swingarm.

Why you ask? Because the 2ts won almost everything.

I was referring to the NSR's yearly development in the late 80's rather than that of the CBR's. As you say two strokes were the cutting edge of racing technology in those days.

The 23 & 29 didnt change much but the CBR400 range as a whole did a lot over its lifetime starting from the early CBR400F's to the Aero, Triarm & Gullarm there is a hell of a difference.

Here is some for HRC Kitted CBR400 race bikes:
