I have given several dealers here in the UK genuine part numbers, and they have been able to supply NSR parts.
I will say it one more time, ALL Honda (UK) dealers CAN order NSR250 (and any other grey market model) parts. They were all issued microfiche about 10 years ago due to the increasing market they were loosing out on because of their stubborness not to supply "import" parts. Whether they choose to help you though, is another matter, which is why it's best to give them the part number wherever possible, and to shop around.
Honda UK dealers are not cheap at first glance though, and not all parts are available, as you would expect with a bike that ceased production (and was never a worldwide model, hence limited in numbers at the best of times!) over 10 years ago, but many items are carried in stock in Honda Europe, and delivery to the dealer is often "next day" if ordered before 2pm! Even parts from Honda Japan will often be at an official dealer within 5-10 working days, and the customer will pay nothing extra for this - it's totally at Honda's expense!
That makes buying some parts a lot less expensive that it seems at first glance, but consider that maybe you can buy a top-end kit outside the UK for around £175 (including the shipping) there is the very real possibility of +21% VAT and duty to pay on top which takes that total to over £210 - not much less than Honda UK in the end, and more often than not, those parts will be waiting for you to collect the following day!
Of course, buying from your favourite supplier outside the UK (or from us here at NSR-WORLD) will support the development and services available to you, the owners, which in turn makes owning one of the trickest motorcycles ever sold even more pleasurable! I only really advocate using the Honda UK dealers if you are absolutely desperate for the parts as quickly as possible!
