Following the failure of the oval piston [[Honda NR500|NR500]], [[Honda]] set out to design a simple light [[Grand Prix]] machine that would be competitive against the [[Yamaha]]'s and [[Suzuki]]'s. Their answer was a three cylinder [[two stroke]], with less power than the opposition, but with less weight and complexity. A small frontal area and a compact chassis offset the lower power, and the bike was competitive from the start, being very user friendly. Ridden by Louisiana native [[Freddy Spencer]], the RS500 gave Honda its first World title with a two-stroke. | Following the failure of the oval piston [[Honda NR500|NR500]], [[Honda]] set out to design a simple light [[Grand Prix]] machine that would be competitive against the [[Yamaha]]'s and [[Suzuki]]'s.
