"What sense does life if there is a dream to pursue? "
Soichiro Honda (1906-1991)
After tsunami disaster, the Japanese GP that had to be played on April 24 will be held (theoretically) in October, although I think the 100 km that separate the Motegi circuit in the Fukushima nuclear plant jeopardize the race.
Located within the compound of Twin Ring Motegi circuit , the spectacular building HCH opened in March 1998 to commemorate 50 years of brand history golden wing. Yes, the Honda museum there. The
first floor are the cafeteria, shop, reading room and space for the robot ASIMO. In the second motorcycles and cars with Power Series Products (boat engines, generators, garden, etc). The best is the third : pure competition. In total, about 300 machines on exquisitely restored black carpet and wooden podiums.
last year baring curl curled some racing machines and overlaying the body with them as if it were a mobile phone. The street area is interesting with a special treatment Dream saga, a curious collection of Monkeys, unique frames as the CX500 Turbo and technological fanfare as NR750 (1992). With
racing bikes make your hair stand on end, especially with the line of RC's "platirrojas" who took a clean sweep the world in the early '60s. Of these, we must kneel before the mythical RC166 six-cylinder 250 of Hailwood (1966-67) and the incredible RC149 with 125 cc engine, 5-cylinder that won Taveri global in 1966 (85 kg and 34 hp at 20,500 rpm!).
could not miss the fiasco NR500 (1979), eight NSR250 (1991-1999), a trio of three-cylinder NS500, NSR500 six especially those of Spencer-Gardner and Doohan last 500 world champion Valentino Rossi with (2001). The 500 Elf of Ron Haslam also adds a touch of originality. Although we know that all of Honda racing bikes go through a nasty "squashing" after the end of season competition, a RC211V Repsol '04 be seen as part of the museum's collection.
The resistance also has its place with the RCB1000 that swept over five years in the late '70s, a trio of RSR RVF and several ex- RC30/45 Suzuka 8 Hours .
If you like off-road , there are a dozen red crosseras 250/500, a curious EXP-2 raid times (1995), a pair of eighties NS750 of dirt-track and NXR750 Dakar winner (1989).
Interestingly, there is also room for the enemy models, such as Kawasaki H1R , a pair of Aermacchis of the '60 Harley or Suzuki Barry Sheene "?
With the virtual view give you an idea ...
