The beginning of the legend. This 1:18 scale model reproduces the legendary Honda NSR 500 two-stroke with which Valentino Rossi debuted in the Valencia tests in 2000. With a simple preseason livery, it's the piece that captures the leap of "46" to the premier class.
🏍️Before the seven world titles in the premier class, there was a first encounter. This replica details the Honda NSR 500 as it appeared in testing at Valencia in 2000. It's a piece steeped in nostalgia for motorcycling purists, representing the transition from the wild two-stroke bikes before the arrival of the MotoGP era.
The miniature stands out for its technical fidelity, showing a cleaner and more technical aesthetic, typical of the HRC ( Honda Racing Corporation) test units, before adopting the final Nastro Azzurro colors.
High-precision details:
Test aesthetics: Decoration faithful to the preseason of the year 2000, with the iconic number #46 in its original typography of the time.
2-Stroke Engineering: Meticulous detailing of the four characteristic exhausts of the NSR 500 and the twin-beam chassis.
Mechanical Realism: Rubber tires with racing compound (slicks), detailed disc brakes and scale transmission chain.
Suspension and Steering: Steerable front fork and competition rear stand included for perfect display.
