Hi Jason

I'm also a newbie to NSR's (welcome👍) having only owned a 1995 Honda RS125 in the way distant past. Andy and the guys have given easily enough info for you to make a clear decision and that for me would be a clear indication of the potential of this bike...having access to a forum full of people willing to help out while you learn the bike is a real help.

My experience of the NSR so far has been wholly positive. I was surprised by how much is still available OEM from Honda as well as after market parts from UK and foreign suppliers. (there's shedloads of stuff on Yahoo Japan!)

A word of CAUTION though... I just found out this morning that in fact I need at least two NSR's! One completely standard and mint as HRC planned it and then another trick one for track days and events!!

Good luck!
Max
