Wet Weight: 156kg, 40bhp as standard, tunable to up to 75 if you throw some serious wedge at it, 50-60 without too much hassle at all

Smartcard ignition!

From NSR250 Website

"1994 also saw the return of the Rothmans colored NSR's for the SP models only. "

"The price was a whopping 800,000 Yen for them and only 1,500 SP bikes were built by Honda. This was to be the last year for Rothmans colored NSR's ever. Today finding a Rothmans SP is quite rare and expensive due to there limited numbers."

saw this a few weeks ago, and initially thought, oh thats nice

but been seriously considering being silly over the past week and just getting it, it is the dream bike Cool

and its not silly money, only 1500 made Drooling

but there is that small niggle that, i should probly be sensible, and boring, as usual Neutral

what dya reckon?

Really Goosey, we've been over this a few times now. Well at least once.

Do it man, go, buy, smile, keep for ever. Or until its worth lots more.

Smart card ignition. Name something cooler.

Stop procrastinating. If it's seriously a dream bike, and you're in a position to buy it then just do it. Not exactly a common thing to see for sale. I hate Honda, and even I'll say that looks like a nice little bike. I'm a sucker for gadgets though, hence a keycard ignition on the GPz.

If it's that limited a run then it's unlikely to depreciate much if at all, so even from an investment viewpoint then you're unlikely to lose much, if you'll be riding it much though then consider spares/repairs problems. Also consider insurance costs.

the Smartcard ignition was a very clever method of restriction to 40bhp but acording to www.nsr-world.com it almost impossable get the full power card

That really is stunning but you could get a second hand Ducati for that cash.

Insurance would be outrageous if it is that rare. Imagine binning it! You'd cry for a month. Shocked

But if it's your dream bike then stop bitching and buy it. Wink

ahh

so do you not have a steering lock?

sickpup · Old Timer Joined: 21 Apr 2004 Karma :

To get this derestricted you need a new card, cdi, wiring loom and pipes only available from HRC in Japan. On the good side they were supplied for free as long as the country of origin allowed full power use which the UK did.

I would only buy it if I could get a parts fiche and the derestriction parts otherwise your never going to get clutch spares and decent power. Derestricted it should give around 60-65bhp.

I saw one of these on Saturday and now I want one.
https://www2.wbs.ne.jp/~a-ishino/my-cars/sdr200.jpg

Yamaha SDR 200. 200cc 2-stroke single, liquid cooled, YPVS. Single seat.

I do not have anywhere to keep one though and it would be criminal to let it go rusty outside my house.

I don't use steering locks anyway. The little shits just boot the fuck out of your bar end until they break it (which doesn't take long) then you need a new bar, switchgear, master cylinder, mirror and plastics in addition to any other damage if it turns up again.

Oooh, oooh get the Gold Monkey.

Oh ok buy NSR250 then. It will be one of those things that will stick in your mind to your dying day and you will regret it if you don't.

Hope that helps. Wink
