I have just been looking round the videos and pictures on nsr125.com, and I was wondering if poeple like Korn and Zim could tell me what kind of size you are... (as in height, build etc.)

this may seem odd, but i was just wondering about me fitting on an nsr125 (being kinda big)...

cheers,
Loz

Or just wait for him to read this, which he might not, cos he's not old. Razz

Kris is Very Tall and he fit on an NSR just fine.

How big are you Dr Cabbage?
I am 6'2 and 200lbs and didn't really think of the NSR as a particularly small bike physically. I may think a little differently now that I have ridden bigger (physically and capacity) bikes. Never really found the NSR cramped or uncomfortable and I went on to ride a VFR400 NC30 after the NSR which had an even lower seat height.
If you are after a bigger 125 you might prefer to try a DT125 or other 'offroad style' bike.
You would probably be fine on an NSR. (unless you are 7 foot tall and 25 stone of course).

lol your never 6 ft 4........... i'm 6 ft 4 and i tower over you

ok I bought an nsr simply because I could fit on it Smile, but I wasn't that comfortable....well on the long trips. But generally it was ok, also I found that because of my size, it helped me to ride the bike, as I could "man handle" the bike if needed Razz

all the best

I'm 6'7" and 13 stone and my NSR suits me fine. I've riden a CBR400 and found the NSR to be more comfortable, if a little slower.
