my name is Holger from Germany. I'm 51 years, still hanging on to my 2-stroke years when I was 16, and the NSR 250 cured me from a strong "I must have a RGV" feeling
All I found out so far, is that the NSR is a bit less a diva than the RGV. Especially the exhaust steering of the Suzuki engine makes me fear (At least as long it's not modiefied by e.g. the Fischer construction).
The NSR doesn't seem to have a similar problem, consumes a bit less fuel and is, however a Lucky Strike or a Pepsi RGV are as well real cute, even a bit more exciting than the RGV (just my 2 cents).
So, it will be a NSR (probably MC21) and an old word says "having got something is better than needing something"
My favourite design is, as obviously as well as for many others, the Rothmans sceme, but however having read the history overview, I'm not quite sure if I understood correctly...
So are there both types of Rothmans MC21, real SPs and "only" SEs ? If yes, how can one distinguish them?
I ask because I-'m a bit unsure as almost every Rothmans is beeing offered as an SP, but often not one word about a dry clutch. Are these vendors all wrong by mistake or do they just hope to get it sold better if they "label" their SE as an SP?
Please don't misunderstand me; as performance is only secondary for me and the artwork of this bike is prior to me, I obviously don't need an SP if there is an equal looking SE, but of course I don't want to pay the SPs price if it's "only" an SE.
thanks for your help and greetings from Germany
Holger
