Opinions on the NSR 250

[craigie b]

Hi Guys,
After I pass my Das next year (he says full of optisim) I have decided to relegate any bike I have to the status of boys toy since winter commuting seems to much hassle.

Anyway I'm really considering uping my humble nsr 125 to a 250.....Based purely on my hearts desire. What are the NSR 250's like to drive in relation to their acceleration, top speeds, handling etc. I appreciate they are probably a money pit but when you can pick one up for under a grand I figure what the hell!

heavily restricted, and these are expensive to get around, normally involving some HRC parts, and good luck getting those easily

would probly have its arse handed to it by an RGV250 or RS250

most garages will refuse point black to service it for you

and thats if you can find a nice one at all, i reckon under a grand will drop you in trouble

might be good places to start

they are however, very sexy, and honda, and i would have one for a toy if i could find the money or the bike

you should be able to get a descent aprila rs250 for about £1500-2000. for a kr1s,rgv,tzr,nsr £1000-1500 for a mint one


all are expensive to run and are getting rare
