title say's it all Thumbs Up

i believe it to be a Honda NSR 125 1993 (F) JC20 with All cast frame Italian import.

however getting fork seals and general parts for it has proven to be a nightmare, i have had too different set's of fork seals from my local bike shop and they are both wrong Embarassed

Anyway my local bike shop is saying it's a NS125

But my other local shop is saying it's, it's hard to find bit's for this bike because it's a older bike but registered in this Country Later in 1993 !

i really am stuck guy's, i really do need some knowledge and help Thumbs Up

My local bike shops don't want anything to do with it until i have the exact model Thumbs Down

The VIN / Frame thing is: hi - JC20 018132

i have attached some picture's of the bike for you to see and a picture of the frame number thing Thumbs Up

Many thanks guy's

Hi

Early shape NSR125. It is an F model, and as far as I am aware they were not officially imported to the UK (the R model was), so at a guess it is a 2nd hand grey import from Italy. If so the ages they are registered with can be pretty random.

Alains should be able to give you the exact year, etc, from the chassis number.

All the best

Its absolutely NOT an NS125.

Its definitely an early NSR of some sort.

As Keith says, it's an NSR125F model. Italian import version, had one of these myself.

Also, it's hideous.

(Looks the same as the one I had which was the "FL" model.

www.wemoto.com search it.

i knew it was not a NS125 but the people in my local bike shop were convinced it was. and i have concluded that it's most defiantly a (F) Version as i have phoned Honda ( LING'S in Suffolk )
hopefully they will be a able to reveal an insight to the bike Thumbs Up

Government should have really cracked down on Import's earlier though, so much confusion, they should have brought a law to put a little more on the log book than " Make " " Honda " Embarassed

Many thanks guy's any thought's are welcome Thumbs Up

I'm sorry, but my reaction on seeing those pics was literally,
"Jesus! Kill it. Kill it with fire".
I mean, I ride a Versys which some people react similarly to, but that thing looks....odd.
I hope you figure out exactly what it is though - it's a nightmare not getting right-fitting bits for an old bike.

I think its the Darth Vader under-snout breather tubes that freak me out. I do like the paint job, though - very Italian!
