I am currently visiting in Japan. Today we were driving down the road in a town called Wakayama and I glimpsed what I thought was an NSR250. We went back to see it and sure enough...1994 NSR250SP in Rothmans livery.

I have no idea if the image upload will work..If it does, I will post more pix. They want $5000 USD or 2500 GBP for the thing. 11,ish Km. Some light scratches on the blue part of the left fairing. Otherwise, very very nice condition. We fired it up and ran it for a bit. All lights, etc. function normally. Sounds cool.
I have a cousin who flies international freight out of Tokyo, and I believe he could take care of getting it to the States for me...the question is 'then what'? Can I license this thing? I am guessing I will end up with a Japanese bill of sale, and maybe not much more. (Should have asked if there is a title!!...maybe tomorrow!) When we were leaving, the dealer said, $4600 USD as is, or $5000 with a new left lower panel. (doesn't need it IMHO...would be totally cherry if it had it though)
It looks, sounds, feels so sweet you guys. Do your best to save me $4600 and the headaches of international shipping, customs, etc. by talking me out of this machine. I am leaving Japan in 2 days but I can easily buy it and store it at my friend's house indefinitely. What do you think??!![/img]
