I think that the NSR125RK is an older version of the newer NSR125R but to be honest I'm not at all sure! Embarassed

EDIT: Then again, if its a newer version they would add letters rather than take letters away right? Like I said, I've got no idea really Shocked

ok,just that i'm about to buy one,j reg unfaired,really nice and clean and restricted,i rang up insurance and they didn't know what an rk was,nearest they had was an r.

If its unfaired then its an NSR125F.

The k designates the year/sub, so you can have nsr125rk, nsr125rl, nsr125rm etc I believe.
As McJam mentioned, if it's unfaired then it will actualy be a 'nsr125fk' or similar, presuming it was originaly unfaired.

ok

thanks all,what would you say a nice lean restricted one is worth?
unfaired

McJamweasel · BCF Junkie Joined: 22 Mar 2002 Karma :

The early ones were never restricted AFAIK.

I'd say £800 max. Although it would have to be a very good example of one for that much.

As Far As I Know.

From a dealer thats not too bad. What sort of warrenty are you getting? And is it actually a good bike or has it just had a polish?

Remember all:
the square headlight model isn't a n NSR125 its an NS125R! there is a difference.

And NS125RK is a 1990 square headlight model
and NSR 125RK is much newer!

Registered as a '92 on a J plate but actually an '89 bike.

Yes.

It was imported in 2000, and the DVLA pretty much guess at what year it was made. Scottys bike is actually a few hundred bikes older than mine, yet is registered as a '94 L plate (this model wasn't even made in '94, BTW).

My NSR125 RK was also insured as a R because the insurance didn't list the RK

fair play
whatever it is it runs nice at low revs
slower than the 88 derestricted ns125f i had,but smoother,and im happy with that Smile

i was sick of thrashing my old ns everywhere just to make it smooth.
