Hello Holger, and welcome to NSR-WORLD.COM!

It will be very costly and probably difficult to find a genuine MC21SP Rothmans now. There were only 1500 ever made, and are easily the most sought after MC21.

ALL MC21SP Rothmans bikes are 1992 models, but just to confuse the issue, not all will necessarily be registered as 1992!

It's almost impossible these days to tell if a bike is a genuine Rothmans. The frame number will fall between 1060012 and 1069021, and the motor MC16E-1270006~1279027. However, there are no SP specific frame numbers or engine numbers... they were plucked off the production line completely at random. The only people that can tell you what the bike originally was is Honda. I personally wouldn't trust any of the so-called "import specialists" currently advertising NSRs! In my opinion, ALL of the bikes currently advertised by importers are dramatically over-priced, and regardless of how they look on the outside, will still need a small fortune spending on them.

NSR250R MC21R: Wet clutch/basic suspension/Enkei alloy wheels/"H" type barrels and heads
NSR250R MC21SE: Dry clutch/adjustable Fr/Rr suspension/Enkei alloy wheels/"L" type barrels and heads
NSR250R MC21SP: Dry clutch/adjustable Fr/Rr suspension/Magtek alloy wheels/"L" type barrels and heads

1990/1991 Magteks - Gold
1992 Magteks - White
1993 Magteks - Red

Other than the wheels, there are no differences between the SE and SP.

Magtek and Enkei wheels are easily distinguishable... Magteks have a big "MAGTEK" cast into [the outside of] one of the spokes for one! A quick search on the forum or Google will also highlight the differences.
