As Mick says, being an SP it has a dry clutch and is perfectly normal to sound like that. I'd be very worried if it wasn't making that noise!

ah fair enough! (sorry for the delayed reply ive been away)

I didnt realise it would sound like that, obviously only ever having ridden oily bikes

I was worried something like rings had totally gone or something!

Im actually looking really hard into getting an nsr 250, problem if the price, theyre bloody expensive, mgiht have to just wait...

Nice, tidy bike but for that price you can import two from Japan - 'loads for sale over there right now. Video's a bit corny, why don't these people take the fairing off so you can get a better idea of condition It thouroughly deserves a damn good thrashing instead of sitting in a garage redundant.

This NSR rep,(400) was for sale a few weeks back for £3,500, I know which one I'd rather have. the 250 is massivly over priced. Still you can't blame the guy for trying I suppose, plenty of mugs out there.

Not sure why anyone would want an MC28. Everyone knows the 21 was the better bike.

Is it true that the 21 was the more powerful version after which they tuned them down to make them 'better'?
