In the 1980’s Honda and Yamaha dominated the GP500, with Honda racing their legendary NSR 500. Honda’s 2-stroke V4 engine loaded NSR 500 made her first appearance in the GP500 in 1984. Improving with every season, the legendary NSR 500 continued to be used at the top racing level until the arrival of the revolutionary 4-stroke 990cc RC211 V in 2002.
