Kyosho Re-Release Honda NSR500

Kyosho has re-released its extremely popular Hand On Ryder Honda NSR500 bike for a limited production run.

The ultimate in scale realism! This bike not only leans realistically through the curves, but the rider moves from side to side at the same time! This model is moulded for even greater scale accuracy and easier access to radio equipment and mechanical parts. The rider is made from an astounding twenty separate parts for natural movement! Fully functional suspension using sprung front forks and a sprung monoshock swing arm at the rear ensure efficient road holding. Oil filled sprung dampers can be fitted as optional upgrade parts for even better handling on rougher tracks.

The powerful Kyosho Le Mans DM20 motor (included) drives the rear wheel via a real chain system. (Optional ballraced motors can also be fitted for even better performance). Each kit includes two gear ratios, allowing you to match the power to the track. A comprehensive sponsor decal sheet is included for both the rider figure and the bike itself, allowing you to create a scale masterpiece that really works! Great looks and fun to drive too! Just add your radio, speedo and battery and you are off to the races.

Available: April 2010 (Limited)

Features

• S.D.S.S Effect – Steering post swings right and left to realize the amazing S.D.S.S. effect! The relative front and rear movement causes the centre of gravity to shift and generates the bike’s turning force. The rider figure slides left and right over the bike, leaning into turns!
• Cooling Room – The twin-tube style main frame has ample room cooling air to flow down the motor and amp.
• All Access – Manufactured from strong, reinforced parts, the open frame design allows quick battery changes and easy motor/radio access.
