Burst forth from the depths into sublime arrows, citrus rays aimed adjacent to the sky. Spill over the rocks, lacquer-bright waves, clear and fragrant with a dream— your smile an embrace, like a necklace close to the heart, swaying from the abyss.

NSR500 - 001

Mick Doohan’s 1998 title wining bike. For 1997 Mick requested a return to the original 180º “screamer” firing order engine layout. He duly went on to win 12 of the 15 races and his 4th championship in a row. 1998 saw the introduction of unleaded fuel which saw peak power drop by 5% from the 200hp available the previous year. cont.
