Which is best or are they two peas in a pod. (only talking 125's )

I'm talking all-round here, so performance, looks, top speed, acceleration, handling, maintainance cost, availability of parts, reliability, deresriction costs. you name it, I'll apprieciate the info...

Thanks Thumbs Up

The NSR beats it out in just about every department I believe, also more reliable, and more parts, but a fair bit more expensive too..

Thought TZR might edge it in the performance section. NSR beats it in looks though, but quite small if you ask me. TZR was first proper faired 125 to be released in UK, successor to the famous RD of course.

ive had a "lee noble" {spelling?} tuned tzr and although it was very fast my current nsr is faster and has better handling on corners Etc. the tzr was mainly about looks and was never 1 of the fastest 125's nor the most reliable ones

Aside from what has been mentioned here, I read that the TZR has a more comfortable riding position, I don't know if theirs any truth in it, but I do know TZR's look better faring-less Mr. Green

Not to mention, TZRs can be had cheaper that the NSRs.
