The Honda NS400R is a street-legal two-stroke sports bike that Honda produced from 1985, the first mainstream roadster from Honda without valves and cams. Its engine was a revamp and upgrade of the old MVX250F. It lacked the outright power and top speed of its rivals the Suzuki RG500 and Yamaha RD500LC, and it remains Honda's largest-displacement street-legal two-stroke road bike. The limited-production NS400R was only sold from 1985 to 1988 and traces its lineage to 1979, when Honda was dominant in 500 cc motocross with two-strokes while its four-stroke Grand Prix bikes lagged. The resulting water-cooled NS500 fused three two-stroke motocross engines into a compact V3 making 120 hp at 11,000 rpm, and Freddie Spencer won the 1983 500 cc World Championship on it.
