The Honda Racing Corporation was formed in 1982 as a subsidiary of the Honda Motor Company, with the charge to participate in motorbike racing in order to continually develop new technologies to apply to its production bikes. The NSR50 is a 49-cubic centimeter racing motorcycle produced as part of Honda's NSR racing product line. It is one of several bikes designed as replicas of the Grand Prix series motorcycles built by the Honda Racing Corporation. These replicas were equipped with a 49-cubic centimeter water-cooled, two-stroke engine and a manual clutch with six speeds. Intended primarily for road use in the Japanese market, they were often exported to other markets.

Although not street legal in the United States, the NSR50 quickly became a popular bike on the Mini GP racing circuit, as many U.S. states offer safe and legal race circuits. This example is nearly new and displays only 52 miles on the odometer. It is finished in a sharp combination of black, red, and silver livery, with a green accent on the rear of the seat. Its continued popularity on racing circuits makes a nearly pristine, low-mileage example like this one just as attractive to the astute collector as to the racer looking for an untouched machine.
