About this model
About the Honda RS 500
The Honda RS500 is a customer racer for the mid-1980s 500cc Grand Prix class. Its liquid-cooled 499cc reed-valve V3 two-stroke was built for circuit use and has nothing in common with a road motorcycle: power arrives high in the rev range, gearbox and clutch are race-specific, and specialist knowledge is essential.
An RS500 is for a collector or historic racer with access to specialist maintenance. Inspect the frame, expansion chambers, crankshaft and cylinders for correct provenance and crash damage. Ask for engine-rebuild records, spares and documentation; a cosmetically complete bike without proven mechanical condition can cost far more than its purchase price suggests.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check crankshaft, cylinders and pistons for rebuild invoices and measurement records; a race two-stroke requires specialist periodic work.
- Inspect aluminium frame, swingarm and welds for crash or repair evidence.
- Check expansion chambers, carburettors and reed housings for correct race parts and damage.
- Verify engine/frame numbers, provenance and included spares before buying.
