    well if money is no object then i'd simply buy a string of bikes :thumbsup: and of cousre pay someone to fix them everytime i break them :rolleyes:

    very tempted by a blade RR, but would also have an 848 dark because black is the best colour. A buell just for weekend fun

    The NR750 was a bit special. When they say 'limited edition', it really MEANS limited edition in this case. This isn't a bike based on another model with a fancy paintjob or even a trick frame and tuned motor, it was totally unique from one end to the other and I believe only 300 were ever built for around 40k each back in the early 90s, when they were priced at £38k.

    It was a technological tour-de-force, if something of a dead-end at the same time. The motor uses the oval piston / eight valve head technology that Honda trialled in GPs before abandoning it for two strokes.

    I believe only 300 were built and most disappeared straight into collections, so they really are on-offs when you find one on sale.

    Having said that, the price being asked is a bit silly... I've seen them on sale for £40-50,000.

    I`m with Tiny & get something custom made. Probably 2 bikes, 1 from Exile Cycles & 1 from the Martin Bros. Oh & a Victory Vegas 8-Ball to tide me over till the other 2 bikes arrived.
