NSR STYLING REVAMP

[johnny]

How long has it been since the men in white coats at honda have took a paintbrush to the nsr? The stylings been the same for years and years and now i think it looks really dated. Should it feature some sharper styling like its bigger brothers, CBR and fireblade.

Why should they?

As far as i know they won't be making two-strokes soon anyway.

Hi
i think the NSR looks good enough, pple think its abig bike from the front so im happy, i think its true what kris is saying, i heard that 125 2 strokes were going to be banned by the EU due to pollution.

last update was 1994, and since then its only been colours!

i think the are gona stop making them soon, aprilia are stoppin the rs's soon!!!

the nsr looks good and is the same size as a vfr,

look at retroflys pic with his mate on the VFR hardly any size difference

TBH I'm not a great fan of the new Honda styling (don't like the headlights). IMHO the best styled new bike is the 2002 R1 <drools>

[TJ NSR]

ye i also think the new R1 looks super, i dont like the front lights on the new fireblade.

the R1 looks classier than the gsx1 and the blade

[Keen]

really? I like the R1 but I love the new fireblade, especially in white and blue.

[retrofly]

hi
anything with fox eye head lights looks goooooood

Its amazing how light it is as well- the blade's lighter than the CBR600!

The LED rear light on the R1's nice though. The R1 is definately classier (especially in silver). A bad thing about the blade is that it would be mistaken for a CBR6 cos they both come in that mint paint scheme.

[Keen]

can't wait till I'm forced to make difficult decisions like that

"hmmm should I go for the new R1 or the Fireblade?"

[Scooby]

Keen it ain't a bad thing the Blade being mistaken for a CBR6. For two reasons:-

A) Nowt wrong with a CBR6
B) If you overtake an R1 they think they've been had by a CBR6

I'm just keeping an eager eye on the new triumph factory. With new technology at their disposal I think they'll be able to push out some spankin bikes.
Mmmmmmm, Daytonaaaa.
Saw 2 200 Dayona's at a rally this weekend. Thankfully I got to ride one round the field. Damn near Gissed in me pantsa. It felt so good!
Bring on the 400's!!

Yeah afir point scooby- It would be nice to be on a CBR600 and have people mistake it for a blade though

I just mentioned it cos I remember reading reviews of the GSX-R1000 where the writers complained about how it looks like the 600 and the 750. In case anyone's interested you can tell by the fork's:

600- forks normal
750- USD forks
1000- USD forks with a gold finish

[Scooby]

I tell the GSXR's apart cos the 600 says 600 on, the 750 says 750 on, and the thou says ... errrr.... 1000 on if i remember correctly

As well as the forks, the tailpiece is slightly different on each one.

obviously I meant from a distance, especially since the writings in the same lettering so it all looks the same from far away.

[Scooby]

hehe.......from a distance....... hmm......

Yeah the market for 125's is small, but the scooter boom over the last couple of years has created alot of new young riders who are gonna want to trade their mopeds in for a 33bhp bike eventually, so do you not reckon their could be a surge of small capacity bike sales in the near future?

[Demonic69]

I'm thinking, in the not too distant future of setting up a 125 and smaller spares company. there don't seem to be any around and I think it could be a massive niche in the market.
What do you guys think?

where abouts are you? I know I'd be interested, its been a right hassle getting parts for mine

[Demonic69]

Sheffield. Depends on how thing go here but if I don't go abroad (or can afford it as well) I think it could be a money-maker. Have a shop but a website too.

Do you mean that you intend to manufacture the parts yourself?...or just provide some kind of repository?...or both?

Tin

[Demonic69]

Not manufacture!! LOL. Just specialise in sourcing 125 parts. Hopefully get some people who know about 125's to work there. Not much more frustrating than a wrench monkey who know's jack about any bike smaller than a 700.
