It has four cylinders. It won ten world championships, claimed first in over a hundred races and still holds the world record for longest uninterrupted streak with twenty-two wins in a row. It's the Honda NSR500, and it might be the meanest, fastest two-wheeling machine of the 20th century. But it really didn't start out like that. Turn back the clock to those first few years, and this modern legend looked more like a lame duck. The weight distribution was horrible, it took Freddy Spencer to the bloody edge and even famous 'wild man' Wayne Gardner could barely wrestle it under control. But they won with it, and the bike kept getting better, turning itself into a world title machine. From Spencer to Gardner to Lawson to Doohan to Crivillé and, finally, to Valentino Rossi - all of them riding Honda's famous twostroke. So, in the direct aftermath of Ducati's dashed hopes of breaking Honda's record, we take a look at the NSR500 and how it changed the landscape. And maybe we discover that the more things change, the more they stay the same...Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

Enjoy the video version on YouTube at Real Risk Podcast.At the top end of town in motor sports - Formula 1 and MotoGP, the budgets are eye watering.

Aus der Yamaha von Maverick Vinales wird ein führerloses Geschoss, das sich zu einem Feuerball verwandelt – und der Spanier schafft gerade noch rechtzeitig den Absprung vom wilden Bock. Das alles bei 228 km/h auf dem Red Bull-Ring in der Steiermark. Das zweite Gastspiel von MotoGP und Moto2 in Österreich liefert Dramen, packende Rennen und einen Zielschuss, der's in sich hat.

Tom Lüthi beendet mit Rang 5 seine Pechsträhne der ersten Rennen nach dem Coronastillleben, Marcel Schrötter zeigt nach durchwachsener Qualifikation im Rennen, was er wirklich drauf hat – und beide analysieren ihre Wochenenden in diesem Podcast höchstpersönlich.
