Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE This is a 2-stroke, 3 cylinder, 400cc motorcycle. In 1983 Freddie Spencer, riding for Honda, became the youngest 500cc World Champion ever. In celebration, Honda released the NS400R, a bike claimed to be a road-going replica of Spencer's machine. The result is a fast, small, very light, two-stroke sports bike, beautifully finished with quite outstanding handling. Like the Honda racer, the NS400 is a liquid-cooled, three cylinder two-stroke of an unusual configuration, a V3. The 90 degree, V3 layout allows the chassis to be kept extremely compact. Mounted in a lightweight aluminum box-section frame, the engine weight is low and carried forward to give a good center of gravity. Weighing only 359 LBS with a 54.5 in wheel-base, the NS was the lightest and quickest bike in its class. It is fast, nimble and responsive. Unlike many sporting two-strokes, the power the NS makes is not that peaky or rough. Honda use their own version of an exhaust power valve called AT AC (auto-controlled torque amplification chambers) on the front two cylinders to help the power spread at low revs. If any two-stroke can be said to have manners, then the NS has more than most VALID CANADIAN TITLE. Buyer will receive a Bill of Sale plus the Canadian Title. No Tags. This motorcycle has been in a museum since 2007. Bike was purchased from a restorer in Canada in 2007. Bike was driven about 250 miles when purchased and it operated flawlessly. The bike was then “put-away” by a certified Honda mechanic and kept in a climate-controlled museum. 16,090 KM (9,998 Miles). Usage and Restoration history prior to my ownership is unknown. Pictures show near-flawless condition. This NS400R is worthy of a museum piece. The bike has been properly prepared for storage. There is no rust and ran perfectly when prepped for storage (there is some dust/dirt in pictures). If the buyer wants to ride this bike they assume the responsibility to prep this bike for road use from storage (add battery, gas, check everything).
