And that wasn't the only original feature of the machine: its 16-inch wheels were something new at the time, as was its front fork with external springs and its lateral radiators -which even as late as 1992 had not been adopted by other makers, Nothing like its streamlined light-alloy monocoque exoskeletal frame has been seen since, Despite all Hondas efforts, the career of the NR was a fiasco, which led the company to create the NS, a two-stroke three-cylinder that Spencer rode to the world title in 1983. Nicknamed "Never Ready", the NR continued as a test vehicle long after its racing days were over, including such variations as the [[Honda NR750|NR750]]. | And that wasn't the only original feature of the machine: its 16-inch wheels were something new at the time, as was its front fork with external springs and its lateral radiators -which even as late as 1992 had not been adopted by other makers, Nothing like its streamlined light-alloy monocoque exoskeletal frame has been seen since, Despite all Hondas efforts, the career of the NR was a fiasco, which led the company to create the NS, a two-stroke three-cylinder that Spencer rode to the world title in 1983.
