Am I too big for the NSR?!

[NSR125-Kid-UK]

Well I was feeling all self important so I had my dad take a couple of shots of me on the NSR . Photo's (well one of them) came out great, only problem is, looking at it: I dwarf that bike!

When I look at photos of people sat on other bikes, then look at the photo of me sat on the NSR, It looks like comparing an elephant to a whippet - the NSR's so skinny! .

Oh well another reason to get something bigger - in more than engine size.

For your interest and my vanity, the photo is enclosed

My mate was 6"2 and rode an NSR - maybe if you crouch a little, everything will fall into proportion Andy. Least you aint on a CBR125 for that matter. I guess you mite as well get a bigger bike if you feel ur up for it then.

I would say that you look o.k on the NSR, but what's more important is how the bike feels to you.

Does it feel to small and cramped (I'm talking riding position here, not engine size)?

Does it make you uncomfortable when riding for more than 5 minutes?

I have both a ZXR400 and a ZX7R and I can't ride the 400 for more than about 30 minutes without getting cramp and have to have the balls of my feet on the pegs because otherwise I am touching the exhaust, but then I am also 6'2'' and the 400 isn't really for me, it's for my better half.

BTW I don't think I have ever seen a rider fully kitted up riding an NSR before - I'm glad someone values their skin!

They are more reliable. And a lot faster

Sitting beside an NSR, I reckoned my AR looked tiny, made the NSR look like a 400. Sitting beside a CBR125 I reckoned it was just a bit bigger.

Nope - you don't dwarf it. Not at all. Kinda cool picture actually

But any bike less than 600cc will feel small when you go and see others. When I first got my cruiser 125, I thought it was feckin huge, I was scared I couldn't control the thing.

Then I got my 500, and that was exactly the same.

But looking at bikes likes the rsv-r and ducati's, damni, they look near impossible to ride since they're so big.

P.S So, what you thinking of replacing the nsr with?? huh, huh?

the rs125 is a good sized bike, i think the worst sized bike out of all the 125's is the honda cbr, when me and my mate go for rides, his bike looks tiny comparded to the dominace of the rs125, i've looked in shop windows as i ride by, just to see what i looked like and if anything the bike is to big.

To make sure your helmet clipped up? You sure?

You don't need an excuse to look in a shop window when at the lights. Everyone does it and they think they look cool!! go on, admit it you lot!!!

[Mr.Everready]

You look like Frankie Dettori on a Clydesdale horse.

I think we can safely say Stew DOES look too big for that NSR!
