I'm looking to sell mine in the near future too. Sadly I reckon I'll only get around £500 for it. Same year and general nic as yours I think. Just recently re-sprayed it myself (Check out the Spray Job post) and gonna get chain and sprocket sorted soon. I bought for £800 so it looks like it's dropped slightly Sad

You could still ride yours on a motorway with the light-access licence if you needed. I've taken mine to Hull from Sheffield and back and it rode like a dream.

Derestricted the RK /should/ do 100, which is plenty fast enough for the motorway.

I bought mine for £1500, mint off a dealer, but down to the finest detail it was in great nic, ill try and sell it for the same, ive put new tyres and stuff like that on it. Ime in no rush to sell.

sorry
wow thanx you lot for getting back
i passed my theroy test today was thinking of getting something heavier.
im told i can ride m 25 when passed just worried about bieng underpowered that and the fact ive seen a chrome bandit in my local shop.

they offered £450 as it goes and i must admit id be happier selling it to someone i know, not had it long but got to like it, that and the shop will probably sell it for loads more (the same place that hit me for the brake lever, shock etc) so god knows why id even think of buying a bike from them, but the one ive seen is a beauty.
ive looked ive no good pic of it other than this but to be honesti think it needs a respray and new fairings shame though ive got all mots etc and it only got 18,000 miles.
shit how do i get the pic on this lol??????

Demonic I think you have a NS125RK, not an NSR125RK (which darren Parlour has called his).
They have different fairing parts and different frames so quite a different bike!
Darren is yours a NSR125 or an NS125?
ie does it look like this (NS)

or this (NSR)

Hey, spare a thought for dial-up users... that pic took me half a minute to download over the works 2mbs pipe and the 770kb would take at the /very least/ two minutes on 56k... more reasonably about four or five.
As most of it's irrelevant background you could've cut most of it out and been left with a 100kb at lowish compression or around 40kb at high compression.

Heheh. Sorry, forgot people still use 56k modems... Wink

Dan sent me the pic and I don't have a decent editor at work so I just popped the entire thing on my site:)

wat type of nsr or ns is that?
Are the twin lights common?
can you fit any nsr/ns with twin lights like that?

sorry, just some questions.

Demonic69 · The Pink Rhino Joined: 31 May 2002 Karma :

Looks like the NSR125RK, not the NS125RK (like mine:)
That was when Honda realised people actually wanted a sports 125.
They were ready to kill the NS125RK in 1990/1991.
Bloody lucky they woke up really.

No reason you can't psot here... Kornel (who runs it) has a RVF, I've got a zx6 and had a klr as well after me NSR... some of the peeps on here haven't ever had NSRs so your not gonna get 'thown out' just cos you're getting a bigger bike.

im toying with idea of doing it up
using my new bike (if i get it and even more if i pass) to comute and give me time to learn about them strip it and restore it after all i got an empty garage.
wonder if the insurance will let me run two bikes
