wats the honda nsr 125 like????

you answerd your own question bruv.... Yeah they are suposed to be nice quick bikes.... bEN had 1 before his r6.... try ask him

 

if its cheap BUY it ffs

you will NOT regret it the bike will do over a ton with a wee bit of tuning, its th only geared bike i would ever touch now apart from the teezerR125

buy the new versions jc20 or RR foeye model, not the old shitty one like i bought

in other words the nsr with an e- start and a PV

lots of power lots or japanese honda reliablity lots of parts - the end.

 

exactly ^ thats another major point i forgot to point out

a real 125 2t enthuisist knows what they r all about and similtaunsly knows what to look for

some people say no and pay more than 700 for a bike if its done over 10k as they know they are a tad expensive to service

a couple of guys on 125cc sports bikes forum were telling me how they can spot a ringer and what to pay for a bike after i got raped with my ns125r


a full engine proper rebuild is around £4-5 with a relined barrel so, make sure you do go for a goodun' like youve picked out


but yeh man thats deffo cheap maybe too cheap ive seen nsrs like that fetch in the region of 16 - 1700

they are fast bikes built to be ridden hard and you can throw alot at them so its worth a £4.99 data check on it to see whether shes been involved in an accident as 90% of geared 125s have done

(been in a couple myself :emb: )

so take my word for it check it out properly first no good paying 850 for a bent ringer, check the engine is wat it is and the speedo cable has snapped

check for fairing damage 2 as genuine fairings and some parts are FUCKING expensive. and look at old mots and servie history if it has any

if it is a genuine deal and he wants to get rid of it for some strange reason buy it quick

 

we used to sell oem spec screens for various bikes wen i worked in a bike shop

replica screens are much cheaper and are good quality only around 20 - 30 max brand new whereas a genuine honda screen .. would cost at least 5 times that

my boss who i worked for in the bike shop knew a guy who charged 8 quid labour to releather a seat and materials will be no more than 25 quid so all in all around £60 worth of work your looking at for the repairs and another £50 for T+T, bear that and that still comes to a total of around 960, still cheap for an 02 plate nsr.

i wouldnt bother with the bore kit to be honest they r fast enough as they are ive thought the same about my kmx 125, just bang a pipe on there and a set of reeds the most

the fuel consumption on my kmx is pretty poor atm (55mpg) so if i go for a meatier setup id probably be getting 20 - 30 mpg which is a bit naff for daily riding

plus your big end and mains will need changing more often which is a bit tricky/expensive on a geared motor, geared 125 are pretty powerful and in return need a bit more attention ,

i remember 2 weeks ago seeing an aprilia rs125 (in a state anyway plastic and general condition wise) the owner had forgot to add oil to his tank my boss charged him £600 to rebuild the motor (top and bottom end) and that was cheap for good work....


when you think of it that way ^ its cheaper to fit reconditioned engines to some cars!!

 

Poor fuel consumtion and 55mpg dont go into the same sentance

 

i had a slight feeling from somewhere it had some accident damage CAT C is pretty bad too at that means a vehicle cannot be returned to the road unless its had a new frame and a roadworth check from the dvla or some one of that body

chances are its had a new frame the lot, it looks a good job though from the pic so dont worry mic you may have not neccesarily bought a ringer, its probably had good parts installed from another nsr, but for £610 you cant argue tbh you can resell it on for more than that if you tidy it up

bet your glad you did a hpi check now?

fuck new fairings its not worth it, eithier buy very nice second hand ones or repair yours like i said honda will rape you on prices and you would have been ass fucked if it was an aprilia lol (probably would have cost about 800 - 1000 if it was a new rs125 fairing )

ive seen plenty of good second hand panels for them fella knocking around on ebay for less than a ton, some mint

the nsr you hav is a proper deal its the electric powervalve, electric start foxeye RR model theres usually 3 flavours of the NSR

1988- 1992 - the ns125 (ns125r and f ) which are the kick start piece of crap things non powervalve which tecnically arnt an nsr on paper, they r wank and i regret every penny i bought my one for thank fuck i just about made my money back

1993 - i think it was late 98ish? they made the gold aluminum frame models as oppposed to the heavy steel ns125 things these come fitted with a powervalve and e-start same engine as your bike

they were the jc20 model nsrs that have fairings around the tank rather than the newer type nsrs like yours have an exposed tank,

98ish onwards - 2003 (last NSR ever sold in 05') honda made the foeye nsr which is your model which came with the silver alu frame revised suspension, brakes etc , its called the NSR RR <--- remember that when speaking to part dealers etc or simply mention "foxeye"

as long as the engine runs ok when warm, brakes are good frame is not bent and forks are good then i would keep it, as they r a top bike mick

 

sorry ignore my bullshit about cat c lecture ^^^^^^^^^^^^

mixed with cat b, thats the bad one

cat c is more damage than the vehicle is worth and insurance cba to pay out i.e write off

check the frame and forks mick if shes had a bump a proper bike techinician will be able to spot a bent frame by eye with a side to side check with the handle bars easy enough.

d/w about the fairings if needs be try a streetfighter approach as they look pretty good without the fairings too (seen one before on ebay which had a cat D )

but i would personally first look for second hand ones if no luck after a few months just SF it



the only advice for your screen mick is look for a foxeye / RR model one should be enough info to find it not sure if theres any other model codes you need to know bud

i think youve been looking at the NSR 250 ones mate
