Honda UK shifting legendary bikes

Honda UK is selling a load of legendary bikes, including Fogarty's RC45 and an NR750 ... Scroll down for the full story
A little bird at a Honda dealer pointed us in the direction of this one. But it seems that Honda UK is selling off an entire museum's-worth of legendary bikes from its past. Well-known internet auction site eBay is currently offering a stack of bikes from Honda Racing UK in Louth, including an RC45 ridden by Carl Fogarty, CBR600s ridden by James Toseland and ex-Jim Moodie bikes. But the most interesting bike is Honda's NR750 - a bike owned for a few years now by Honda UK. The oval-pistoned engineering-orgasm-on-wheels cost £38,000 when new in 1992, and it stands as the most technically-advanced road bike ever made - even 16 years on.
We're surprised that Honda is clearing out the family silver like this. But if you fancy getting your hands on some Honda History, then go to eBay and search for 'NR750' or click here.
