There you go Simon, comeback time! It's a bit exotic considering it's history.

mmm.... it's definetely the bike from motociclsmo d'epoca's feature from a few years ago, I posted about it at the time.

kind of surprised that it's on public sale as according to that feature, the bike was a loan to Samoto dealership in Rome & Murelli (guy with the berret in the picture) who was the only western race mechanic to work on the NR500 back at the time. One of the guys who worked on that story told me honda expected to to have that bike back in japan one day... Wonder if the museum guys know about this.
