The NRG-500 is the motorcycle in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

Design

The NRG-500 is a racing motorcycle implied tailored for 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 Honda NSR500 race motorcycle but appearance and name.

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.

Performance

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 Valentino Rossi as a matter of preference throughout his career. Interestingly, Rossi had also ridden a Honda NSR500 during the 2001 500 cc World Championship.
