FIRST
PLACE.
The starting line of
the Baja 1000 was the first
the competition had seen of
the all new Honda XR500R.
It was also the last they saw of it.
The big ~re-production thumper finished first
place overall. Beating not only the other motorcycles,
but jeeps, buggies, trucks and everything else in
the race.
The new 1983 XR500R is the li~htest, most
powerful four-stroke dirt machine we ve ever built.
Its new engine features our revolutionary Radial
Four-Valve Combustion Chamber~ The first true
hemispherical four-valve cylinder head ever offered
on a production four-stroke.
Its design is more compact, produces faster, more
efficient combustion, provides better breathing and a
higher compression ratio than ordinary designs.
Which means one thing, more unbelievable power.
