I have 3 NSR 125's, one's a big project so hardly counts as a bike. Also a dead SR125. Currently riding an xj600 and driving my civic.


If you have three of one bike to keep at least, I assume, one running that's never a good thing. And I assume because I don't see why anyone would want more than one example of the same thing at any given time.


OP you should get rid of the clutter and have 1 good bike. Don't go buying anyones projects or 2 stroke 125s.

I would go down to the XJ and the car. Sell everything else. Only then, if you want a different bike, either replace the XJ for something that suits, or have 2 different bikes.

The best thing I did was get rid of the junk, and just have a 9R and the car.

I think your notes are becoming muddled Confused

much much more exciting than an xj600 and I'd say more fuel efficient.


In what fantasy land are you living? Laughing


My NSR would do around 100 miles, £10 of petrol, Divvy takes around £13.50.

I often drive/ride to the redline, thinking about it the divvy has 4 28mm carbs, that can equate to 2 carbs on a 2 stroke, the rs if done right would have 34mm carb, hopefully you can understand my basic thinking, fuelly backs me up too.

Hey maybe even Kickstart can back me up also.

I bought my wifes first big bike (600 Divvy) from a dealer from just seeing photos and talking to him.

I told him it was a birthday present so he delivered it on her birthday and it arrived immaculate with balloons tied to it and with a box of chocolates for her.

Not all dealers are total cunts.
