"Honda NR750" (1992)
The Honda NR750, introduced in 1992, is a motorcycle
that stands as a testament to Honda's engineering innovation and
ambition. Often referred to as the "Oval Piston" bike, the NR750
featured an extraordinary 747.7cc V4 engine with eight valves per
cylinder, made possible by its oval, 'Spam can' shaped pistons. This unique design
allowed the engine to function like a V8, producing a remarkable 125
horsepower at 14,000 RPM, which was absolutely groundbreaking for its time. The
NR750 wasn't just about its engine; it was also a showcase of advanced
technology and materials. The bike featured a lightweight aluminium
frame, a single-sided swing-arm, and a full carbon fibre fairing,
contributing to its exceptional handling and performance. Its design was
equally ahead of its time, with sleek, aerodynamic lines and a
distinctive underseat exhaust system that gave it a slightly futuristic
appearance. Being very expensive to build, the NR750 was produced in limited numbers making it a rare
and highly sought-after model. It remains an icon in the motorcycle
world, celebrated for its engineering brilliance, exclusivity, and the
bold vision it represented.
