Think you'll find either quite hard to find new, which is lucky for you because new bikes tend to mean losing a lot of money (unless of course you've got a lot of money to throw away ).

I've still got an NSR for sale. I'm 6' 3" and it did me OK. Still fun now when I go for a short blast on it

I'm 6ft 2" and my Mito is just the right size for me... you'd be surprised how big some of the 125's are now.

there are still some nsr125 floating around it stock in places i got mine new in september and the place i got it from is still selling em

the choice is yours if u want a itailan bike that falls to bits go for the rs125 if you want one that will run for ever without blowing up go for the Honda

i think the goverment are outlawing 2smokers so makers/companys cant build them soon anyway so get yours while you can

Honda Varadero very well suited for tall people.

I'm 6'4, 13 stone and I've got an NSR.

Fits me just fine, its a little heavy on the wrists, but it is a sports 125 so you'd expect it really. And anything less comfy than a sofa starts me whining

So what part did Honda play in the manufacture of the NSR?

the one that siezed the power valve open (smurf) rag's fuck out of it i dont think i have ever seem him go slow on it

the one that blu the gasket (mathew) which was the head gasket or sumrt like that onbly had his bike for about 5 months till it went and it was still restricted

and athour who's had the rebuilds has still got he restricters on but the crappy heads he gets (which are genuine ones) keep going so this time hes got a aftermarket one to see if it is any better.

also when i was looking at a RS250 mike ma mate from liverpool told about his mate that had one and it siezed at 100mph which was quite nice.

also steve ma mate next to ma dads house, his dad's mate is a duacati rider and had one from new 750cc dont know the model coz im not into ducatis anyway he had that for a week and it was of the road and the ducati machinic had to come out and replace a part on it.

There's no head gaskets on rs125's the have oring's. Which I've reused after removing the head without a problem.

What went wrong with the head?

[Josh|RD125LC]

O-rings suck. Break and wear out easily. Nothing better than a good old head gasket.

i dont know about the insides of em having never owned one but it didnt have any compretion.

yea do all the apprila's use the same style gasket then on the head coz ma mate badbo1 has just rebuilt his cylinder on his sonic 50 and it had a o-ring type gasket with four bolt holes on each corner of it.
