Honda NSR500
A legendary machine
It was the successor of the NS500 with V3 engine with which Freddie Spencer won the World Championship in 83.
Making its debut in 1984, the NSR500 soon became a legendary machine, with such a wild performance that few riders were able to get the most out of it. The motorcycle was improved with the "Big Bang" engine in '92 and continued to evolve at an unrelenting pace until it was phased out in 2002.

Outside the track
1995 was a year of great progress. Several European countries opened their borders. What was to become a common currency was created and the use of a new audio file took us by surprise.
On 26 March 1995, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain opened their borders. The "Schengen Area" came into operation.
Although it did not come into circulation until some years later, the Euro received its name in Madrid in 1995.
What is now a common audio file, the Mp3, was used for the first time on 14 July 1995.
