Imagine showing up at your machine shop wanting to overbore the cylinders to rebuild it!

Yeah, the kickstand is one of my favorite parts of this bike. It is just so extra!

It's such a riot! The good old days when manufacturers were just letting their imaginations go wild! Hope to see those days again

@@IconicMotorbikes ever motorbike should have that design of kickstand, its incredible!

Glad you liked it!

i remember when it came out, took the motorcycle world by storm,

Always a pleasure brother! Thank you for the nice message, wonderful way to start the week :)

Our pleasure!

Thanks! A lot more to come!

Thank you my friend

Thanks so much! Going to keep improving by having fun so far!

Thank you for watching!

Glad to hear it. A lot more to come! - Nathan

That red/white/green bike is actually a Ducati Panigale, but we do have several Bimotas! We've sold a couple of Tesis and V-Dues, and we also have a 0-mile SB8R as well as a Santamonica. We love our Bimotas, and we also have a Tesi 3D currently available for sale: iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/2008-bimota-tesi-3d-with-137-miles/ Here's some other Bimotas we've recently sold: iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/1995-bimota-tesi-1d-ef/ iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/1998-bimota-v-due-with-0-miles/ Thanks for watching!

HAHAHHAHA...that part made me laugh too :)

@@IconicMotorbikes i heard it has to do with our climate and sheer amount of road traffic. The asphalt gets bad when it barely rains and gets dry, then suddenly it rains a lot for a little bit. Couple that with the heavy traffic in california, its bad for the roads. Also the state is BIG so theres a lot of road to repair. I've been seeing a lot more freeway work done nowadays but theres a lot of road to cover in cali

Thanks for the sub! More to come. - Nathan

We are working away on it. More is on the way :)

Ram-air

Really hard to go wrong with a Honda. Out of all the brands we work on (and we work on them all), rarely find any gremlins with Hondas!

@@IconicMotorbikes If you had to pick one bike to own for the rest of your life what would it be?

@@autistic.adventurer, that's such a hard question to answer. To be honest, i would pick CBR1100XX Blackbird.

@@alifwibisono1000 I have owned 2 Blackbirds, one carb and one FI. They where both fantastic bikes but I preferred the carb version, more raw and smoother than the FI. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Love my little VFR 800 5th gen I own at the moment

@@autistic.adventurer, that's amazing. Do you also have CBR1000F?

I think the NR was even-firing. The big-bang engines were 2-stroke. A big-bang configuration in a 2-stroke is probably just a normal day at the office for a 4-stroke. My understanding is the NR team and NS teams at Honda were mostly separate. The NR500 was a Manhattan Project type undertaking to drag 4-strokes back into competition, whereas the NS was a small 2-stroke side project to hedge their bets in case the NR couldn't catch the Yamahas and Suzukis. The NS proved way more successful, eventually taking over and becoming the monstrous NSR series including the big-bang bikes. The NR project got this super sexy 750 street bike as a sort of going-away present and love letter.

In my defense, one is on consignment! I'm very aware of my problem :)

@@IconicMotorbikes I hear the first step to a solution is acknowledgement of the problem. Don't ever change!

We've sold two on our auction site in the last couple of months, one for $125,832 and one for $131,182.

@@IconicMotorbikes nice! I remember hearing 50.000$ in that era (90's). Anyway, thanks! Please do a similar video on a Bimota 500vdue. Maybe already on the channel, sry if it is. Cheers!

@@Vapod sadly, not yet. We've received two V-Dues, both with zero miles so we didn't want to ride them. One was a runner that we sold, the other does not run currently and it's in our display hall at the shop!

@@IconicMotorbikes sure.

You're so right...CA roads are in so bad. Weird deal too as it's just a tax heavy state

It's better now! We've since moved into a bigger hangar so we can fit even more bike porn!

We sold this one, but we have a few others. Here's what we've sold some for: iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/sold/?_sft_pa_motorbike-model=nr750 Contact me (abhi@iconicmotorbikes.com) if you're interested in learning more!

I believe so, I heard from someone at Honda that quite a bit of development came out of Europe so I'm not entirely sure what he was referring too but I believe ELF was French, I'm sure someone will help us, I'd like to know also

@@IconicMotorbikes ELF is indeed French - here's a good read on the developments their race team brought to the world of endurance racing if anyone is curious: www.motorcyclistonline.com/elf-racing-elf-motorcycle-chassis-designs-retrospective/

That one has already sold, you can see all the NRS we've sold here: iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/sold/?_sft_pa_motorbike-model=nr750 Email abhi@iconicmotorbikes if you're interested in one and we'll help as best as we can!

Juan - please email abhi@iconicmotorbikes.com if you're interested in a NR750 for your collection!
