What Honda NS/NSR do i have

[HerbalDayZ]

Can some 1 please identify my bike im realy confused.

I bought it as Honda NS125R-K
But looking thru a site i think i may actualy have NSR125R
Or Honda NS125R

Looking at the pics mine looks more like the NSR125R.I really dont know much an have no clue if it matters or not but by checking the pics i thought more the NSR125R due to the brake being on the left side of the wheel not the right like NS125R.

Does the brake mean nothing just diffrent wheel or can the wheel not be changed so the brake is on the otherside

pics pls let me know im confused As normal

1st mine date of register 1992
2nd NS125R made 87
3rd NSR125R made 89

it's the NS125R.

it is NOT AN NSR, don't go into shops saying that or you'll end up with completely the wrong bits.

look at pics of mine https://www.bikepics.com/members/neolyptic/93nsr125/ the frames are the same, IMO they're one of the best NS models they ever made

As far as I know the console for the NSR RK is built projecting from the fuel tank.

Its Defo a NS125, its exacly the same as my old one, except with a black fairing as opposed to my red.

I used to think it was a NSR125 it aint.

N30 Nice bike m8 very diffrent.
I dont have the bike at home yet as i only paid half.The main thing that has got me stumed is the front brake disk.
My pic shows it being on the left side of the wheel.The NS12R pics shows the brake being on the right side.Then the NSR125R shows it being on the left like mine .

Does this mean anything ? or could it jsut be a diffrent wheel with the brake on the otherside to normal.Or can u not change the wheel with the pad on the oposite side.

Other thing after reading about my bike on the owners webbie he claims the bike was registerd in 1992 the NS125R was made in 87 thats 5 years without being regid (this seems a bit to much).

Another thing he had said is when buying parts he found it was more like a 1998 Uk version .Altho i cant find a model made in that year.

the NS125R an NSR125R look exactly the same an basicaly are the same can some 1 explain why they botherd to make 2 bikes 2 years apart that looks seems to be the same as the 1st

Hi

You bike is definatly an NS, not an NSR.

The picture above of the "Adriatico" version was a limited edition. Have a feeling was built for the Japanese market. Possibly has twin disks on the front (certainly possible in that picture).

The NS came out in the mid 1980s as the bikini faired F version with the R version (fully faired) coming out in the UK a few years later. They were sold in the UK until the early 1990s (alongside the NSR for a while).

Both your bike and the one with the Mito seat unit have aftermarket Allspeed exhausts on them.

The NS and NSR are very different bikes. NS has a steel frame, NSR has an alloy frame. Different bore and stroke. Different power valve set up (and UK NS did not have a power valve). NSR has a far larger brake disk. NS has a rear drum while the NSR has a rear disk. NS has a single headlight, the faired NSRs had twin headlights. NS was kick start, NSR was electric start (except for a very small number of SP versions).

All th ebest

Keith

keith got it all in one


Don;t worry about it not having a Powervalve, you'll still find it's got a strong powerband that makes up for it

Hi

Allspeed exhausts were good. At the back there is a large circlip. Take this out and the baffle comes out for cleaning and repacking.

A power band is where the bikes makes power, generally with a 2 strokes coming in with a bit of a kick. A power valve is there to give the bike some low down power. Think of the exhaust working on pressure waves which travel at a fixed speed, and these bounce back towards the engine. If they arrive at the correct moment they bounce back from the engine again and suck the burnt gases from the engine, and at the wrong moment they shove the burnt gases back into the engine. Exhausts are set up so that at the fixed speed of the pressure wave they are doing their best to draw the gases out at the point where the designer wants peak power (ie, matched to the timing of the ports in the barrel). However as the gas is going at a fixed speed at about half those revs the exhaust has the opposite effect. Power valves are an attempt to salvage some low down and mid range power (which allows even more tuning for top end power without the bike becoming unrideable).

All the best

Keith

I have all the invoices from the owner to show what he had got for the bike.I did notice the baffle thing on there (exhaust baffle packing) so im guessing he did that recently

it was from M&P direct

NS30 £700 .with year mot an tax haynes manual spare forks wheels an good knows what else.if i would like them

he has 1 built up that im having (from ebay) 1 with frame engine an load of wires an 1 he had completly taken apart.He has told me if i need anything done or need anyparts to call him up an he will do it for me np (retired) so i guess he isnt jsut blaggin me an it gives him something to do that he loves .

with all invoices i have they come to £650 in parts bran new an i found he paid £515 for the bike 3 years ago.So he forked out over 1000

here is the original ebay page when he got it an you can now see how diffrent it looks
