I have a little problem regarding the hp of the honda 125 nsr...
I read somewhere ( https://www.geocities.com/honda_nsr1989/tekniset2.html ) that the 1989-1993 model had a 31 HP engine that they changed in the later models (1994-2001) to another engine much less powerfull (around 12 HP or smth).
Can anyone infirm/confirm this "rumor"?

I would really appreciate any help because i'm just about to buy a 1992 honda nsr (first bike Very Happy Embarassed )

Nope, they were just "Officially" restricted in the later models.

Hi

Think they claimed around 31hp, but the reality will be a long way below that. UK models were restricted to 12hp for the entire life of that model. Later full power models claimed less than 31hp, but whether they actually made any less hp or whether the claims just got more accurate is another question.

All the best

I'll just go with dannys old dyno read of 24bhp. Seems the best reliable piece to go by.

Well thanks guys for your help... at least i know now the hp of that NSR 125.
But today my plans changed somewhat because i found another offer... besides the Honda NSR 125 i found a guy selling a Cagiva Mito 125 from the same year (1992).
This thing made me think again about that honda nsr... Sick Smile
Maybe you can make me decide... Which do you think is best?

Question


The Mito is faster, has stronger plastics (older Cagiva plastics take a lot of abuse) and, in my opinion, is better looking. The down side is that the Mito is more prone to failures from abuse (such as thrashing from cold) and spares are likely to be harder to buy (but that is mainly because Honda are VERY good at supplying spares).

All the best
