Product Description

It is the story of a sensational failure, that of a four-stroke racing car that wanted to contrast itself with an era dominated by two-strokes. However, narrated from the point of view of an enthusiast who was able to closely follow the various phases of creation, this faithful chronicle takes on the tone of an epic about a team that has never taken a step back in the face of difficulties, pursuing with obstinacy, an objective which, in the eyes of a European or, rather, a Westerner, may at times seem as unlikely as it is masochistic. Yet, the discreet and observant presence of a team in which she has never stopped believing, Yoko describes her to us in the emotional tones that a mother would use to describe her son’s odyssey, underlining human values ​​such as courage and determination, lucid madness, but also intelligence, enthusiasm, romanticism, wisdom, and finally, love of risk and challenges. The story of the Honda NR500, and of its younger sister – luckier than it – the NS500, is actually the story of a community, that of Honda engineers, team managers, technicians and mechanics, who have made their work an ideal, where the goals to be achieved are our dreams which, as dreams, should serve to motivate the existence of every individual on this earth.
