Spotted something pretty rare at South Leverton tonight.

Often get some pretty rare sites at the Historic Bike night at South Leverton.
No it wasn't two rare, fast Black Falcos out together, (Me and Dave).
Not the Hesketh that was there a couple of weeks ago or an HRD or Brough Superior.
This was something I have never ever seen on the road before.
An absolutely mint Honda NR 750, and I did not have any sort of camera with me. :smt009
It was drop dead gorgeous and must be worth a fortune.

Droooooooooooool.

You could always buy yourself the one for sale on ebay:

And if you can't quite run to that you could always buy a bit of NR bodywork:

Bloody hell, and we were thinking £50K or £60k maybe a bit more, but not £220,000.

"The bike became the most expensive production bike at the time when it was selling for $50,000" + 2 decades inflation, and they only made 300.
