1990-1998 HONDA NSR500

The Honda NSR500 is a race motorcycle from the Honda NSR series. It was created by HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) and debuted in 1984 for the Grand Prix motorcycle racing’s 500 cc class. Honda won ten 500cc World Championships with the NSR500 from 1984 to present, six in a row 1994 to 1999. With more than 100 wins to its credit, the NSR500 is the most dominant force in modern Grand Prix motorcycle racing. 1990-1998 HONDA NSR500 Moto Gp Though the 499 cc V-4 could produce more than 200 horsepower (150 kW), chassis development, sophisticated engine management and an Australian named Mick Doohan made the NSR500 a legend in the 1990s. Extensive testing in 1991 led to a new aluminum chassis patterned on the successful RVF750 endurance racer. Honda unveiled a revolutionary idea with a 1992 V4 that was timed to fire all four cylinders within 65-70 degrees of crankshaft rotation — the so-called “Big-Bang” engine. Along with a balance shaft that neutralized the single crankshaft engine’s gyroscopic effects, the 1992 NSR500 was a breakthrough. Emphasizing acceleration over sheer speed, Doohan used this engine to win five of the first seven 500 Grand Prix races of 1992. Although a badly broken leg denied Doohan’s bid for the 1992 World Championship, he would not be denied for long. Beginning in 1994, Doohan and the NSR500 won five consecutive 500 cc World Championships. Winning 12 of 15 races in 1997, he broke a single-season win record that was set in 1972. Combining for 54 total 500 Grand Prix wins, no man and machine in modern history had dominated the 500 World Championship so thoroughly. From around 1997, the NSR500 again featured the older “Screamer” engine in some factory racers, with Mick Doohan preferring the higher outright power of this design despite it being much more difficult to harness.

This custom Honda CBX ever built. Work of art by Roberto Totti, it’s not the latest custom bike on the scene,Maybe just by saying that the original frame was scrapped for a totally custom, hand made aluminum perimeter frame that acts as a gas tank as well .USD front fork, duck nose air-intake, radial mounted brakes, custom dash, see-through frame holes (for added strength we presume), and then 6-in-6 exhaust.

Lockheed Lounge ~ Custom Honda 360 by Jason Tiedeken
The Lockheed Lounge (bikes name) was thought and built by a creative bloke called Jason Tiedeken, setting the new design standards for custom bikes. To keep things radical from the start Jason opted for a unconventional steel tube frame chassis, a 4-link front suspension and a supercharged Honda’s tiny 360cc twin parallel engine. The geometry is very close to Suzuki GSX-R 750′s.

HONDA New CVT for Midsize Vehicles Enhances Driving Performance and Fuel Economy to be Featured First on All-New Step WGN and Step WGN Spada
TOKYO, Japan, April 5, 2012 – Honda Motor Co., Ltd. announced the development of a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) for midsize vehicles that significantly enhances both driving performance and fuel economy. The new CVT is the latest addition to the Earth Dreams Technology series of revolutionary next-generation technologies for automobiles. Also announced today, the all-new Step WGN and Step WGN Spada will be the first vehicles to feature this new CVT and will offer the highest fuel economy in their class*1.

New CVT for midsize vehicles
To enhance fuel economy, the new CVT is compatible with an idle stop system and features a high-efficiency electric oil pump among other features. In addition, the G-Design Shift, a new coordinated control system for gearing, throttle and hydraulic control, responds quickly to driver input, maintains strong and smooth acceleration G and helps realize an exhilarating and sporty driving feel. Thanks to this combination of technologies, in a comparison of vehicles in the same class, the new CVT offers 5 percent higher fuel economy than a conventional CVT and 10 percent higher than a 5-speed automatic transmission*2.

In November 2011, Honda announced Earth Dreams Technology, a series of next-generation technologies for automobiles that significantly enhance both driving performance and fuel economy, combining environmental responsibility with the fun driving customers expect from Honda. The first technologies in the series were the newly developed engine and CVT for minicars that were featured on the N BOX. The new CVT for midsize vehicles featured on the all-new Step WGN and Step WGN Spada is the second technology to join the series.
