The NS500 race bike.
Manufacturer: Honda Racing Corporation
Production: ?-1984
Predecessor: Honda NR500
Successor: Honda NSR500
Engine: 500 cc two-stroke V3

The Honda NS500 is a 500cc Grand Prix racing motorcycle of the early 1980's, powered by a two-stroke V-three engine. Created as a replacement for the innovative but unsuccessful four-stroke NR500, the bike went against Honda's preference for four-stroke machines but proved very effective and quickly won the 500 World Championship. After a relatively short lifespan the bike was replaced by the even more successful two-stroke V-four powered NSR500.
