The '''NRG-500''' is the fastest bike in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].
The '''NRG-500''' is the motorcycle in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].
 
The NRG-500 is superseded by the [[NRG 900]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]].


==Description==
==Description==
If you find a NRG-500 in [[Easter Basin]] Docks and get in, it starts the NRG-500 challenge.
===Design===
The NRG-500 is a [[wp:motorcycle racing|racing motorcycle]] implied tailored for [[wp:Grand Prix motorcycle racing|Grand Prix racing]]. As such, the bike is designed with a highly sporty design, complete with sponsorship stickers, a racing number, and racing slicks. The bike is implied to be based on a 1984-2002 [[wp:Honda NSR500|Honda NSR500]] race motorcycle but appearance and name.


The NRG-500 is superseded by the [[NRG 900]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]].
Like most sports bikes in the game, the NRG-500 comes with several design variations, including two bodykit designs (one with a more pointed profile and side airvents, and one with a rounded profile and no side airvents), two exhaust pipe configurations (one on the side and one on the tip of the bike's tail, or one on both sides), and three side exhaust pipe designs.


===Design===

The bike is based on a [[wp:Honda NSR500|Honda NSR500]] and was used by [[wp:Valentino Rossi|Valentino Rossi]] in the 2001 500 cc World Championship, hence there is the distinctive number 46 on the front and the very similar names (which would be an anachronism given the fact San Andreas is set in 1992). The NRG-500 can appear with one of three subtly different exhaust pipes and one of two different bodykits.

===Performance===
===Performance===
Since it's a racing bike, it also handles very well.
Since the NRG-500 is a racing bike, the vehicle is by far the best motorcycle available in GTA San Andreas, with the best top speed, acceleration, cornering and braking within its class. The only distinctive downside of the bike is its powerful rear torque, which may occasionally force the bike into a wheelie position, making the bike less controllable.
 
==Trivia==
* The pronunciation of the "NRG" name is similar to that of "energy".
* All NRG-500s bare racing number "46", which is the same racing number adopted by [[wp:Valentino Rossi|Valentino Rossi]] as a matter of preference throughout his career. Interestingly, Rossi had also ridden a Honda NSR500 during the [[wp:2001 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|2001 500 cc World Championship]].
