Making its debut at the 1986 All Japan Road Race Championship, was the Honda NSR500 which featured a vivid livery and was ridden by the championship winning rider Keiji Kinoshita.

The mechanical splendor of the bike including its water-cooled, 4-cylinder, 2-stroke engine, as well as the exhaust cambers, carburetors, and radiator have been faithfully rendered. A metal coil spring is used to mimic the movement of the NSR's unique rear suspension.

Transparent and white cowling parts are included in the kit, and the former allows you to view the NSR's exquisite internal mechanisms even after assembly.

High quality decals to depict the livery of the Honda NSR500 are also included.
