My NSR250 finally finished!

[Barry_M2]

Thought I show a few pics of the finished article...

Not been rushing to finish it, but now I have, I wish I'd taken a little more time over the paint, but, first time I've used a spray gun I think its come out quite well (unless you look closely!)

The first pic is how it looked when I got it....

The other two were taken on Sunday (22nd).

Took it out for a gentle run and all seems to be well, so, off for an MOT soon!

Very nice.

looks like a very nice job, like the altered tail section.
shame about the exhaust as if it was a bit bigger it would look like a bigger bike

Saw the pic and thought, hey that looks nice.

Then realised that was the before pic.


Nice bike you've got there, and a nice job you've done.

Excuse me!!! Exhaust(s)!! Its a V-twin.
It'll be fast enough to see off a 600 on a good twisty road

Paint looks good in the pics, but if you look up close its not the best, plus the tank could do with another coat of laquer.

Tail section it from a company called Tyga, doesn't have a mount for the rear lights and indicators, so I had to make up a bracket to hold the standard light (to get through the MOT), but I think I'll replace it with something a little smaller once it goes through.

[White Noise]

yeah only really looked at the second pic and not the third, hope the MOT gets passed easy and you can have a lot of fun on!

Bloody gorgeous bike mate. Lovely looker. I am looking into upgrading to an NSR250. I think they are mint bikes. Wouldn't mind an MC28 in Repsol Colours.

Tell us when shes up and running. Would like to know how it performs.

Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated!

Josh, a mate of mine has an MC28 in Marlboro colours at the moment, he's just picked up a second set of plastics that I think he's going to get done in Repsol colours.

[Josh|RD125LC]

Ooooh

Love them bikes. Saw an MC28 on ebay, in Repsol colours. Just wish I had 1500 at the time, because that would of definitley been my next bike.

looks very good mate never seen an nsr 250 on the road, you've done a real nice job.

What engine does the nsr 250 use, same as rs and rgv?

The only thing i dont like is the front forks, never liked the look of that design, could you fit some usd off a aprilia, or maybe im being picky!!!

I especially like the back end done a really good job!

hope she runs well for you, keep 2 smokes alive!!!!

Sweet bike mate Love the Movistar paint job, although I would because I'm a Gibernau fan.

Me too! I got myself a nice Telefonica jacket too, and also blue white and black 1 piece leathers! (Do you think I've gone a bit too far!!!)

Not at all!! I'd probably do the same if I had the cash! How much have you spent buying the bike and getting i looking like that?You be taking her along to the british GP to cheer on Sete?

Bike cost me £700, paint and laquer was £100 (done it all myself), mudguard was £30, chain & sprockets about £60, 1 piece leathers were £130 off ebay (used once, what a bargain!!), boots were £130 new (sidi - match the leathers).

Still needs a rear tyre as the one on there is a little low, dont think it will pass an mot, so to date its cost me just over a grand for bike and leathers etc..., plus the time I've spend on it doing the bodywork, wiring, chain & sprockets etc... To be honest I think thats a bit of a bargain so far, but I suppose I still need an MOT!

For me, Donnington is quite a way, especially on a 2-stroke, done it on my old ZXR400 back in 1994 to watch the 500 GP. If I go, it'll probably be by car

Think 700 was a good price for the bike? What condition was it in and did it run no probs? Because 700 sounds like a good price for a possible future bike of mine.

Gorgeous bike. Looks fantastic both before and after.

Is that the NSR250 which has that strange key card ignition, or was that just the SP? (Or am I just talking rubbish?)

Either way, lovely bike, so enjoy it.
