I'm imagining how much of a pain in the arse it was to make them seal properly. Everything about that bike screams vanity exotica. Like when camera makers do one off's that have functions on them wow'd at to this day.
The level of detail on that thing makes my eyeballs itch.

20,000 rpm and over 130bhp.
It did what it was supposed to do, win against the 2 stroke bikes. There is an NR engine cut open and it is an amazing technology wise. Vanity exotica....I say it is, but it did what it was designed to do.

Mega bikes the NR750s. The NR500 GP bikes they were sort of derived from never did win against the 2 strokes though - they got their arse handed to them by Yamaha. They gave up after a couple of seasons, then won almost first time out with Fast Freddie Spencer on the NS500.
Good work on the move! Have you said where yet?
All sticky rubber seems good these days - I've most recently run a mix of Pirelli Diablo Corsa (race) Fronts with Rosso Corsa (twin compound) rears and really like them. If you run soft rears on sports bikes and are even a bit heavy wristed, they wear out really quick. Especially on the shoulders.
