How similar is the NSR125 to the NS125R?

[bugsy46]

Just recieved a Honda NS125R. And I'd like to know what the differences are as they seem to be both produced during the same years but look fairly similar apart from the Alcast frame on the NSR.
If anyone can give some info on whats the same and whats different id be very happy, ie are the engines similar, forks etc,

thanks

Hi

Virtually nothing the same. NS is a steel frames, kickstart 2 stroke with a drum rear brake. The NSR is an alloy frames electric start 2 stroke with a disk rear brake.

The NS came out 3~4 years before the NSR. The NS125R is just a faired version of the NS125F (difficult to really say as the NSR was out for a couple of years in Italy before being imported to the UK).

All the best
