Back in australia this was the bike I wanted over all others. Just my luck, when I moved up here to the states, well I found that very very few were actually brought here and even less are legal for the road. Years pass and days go by until finally I one morning wake up and was so tired instead of going to craigslist I punched in "NSR250 craigslist" into google. The first one was a ad in Portland, I clicked and low and behold, JUST POSTED LESS THAN 2min AGO! I replied to the ad and called dibs. Guy responded saying he had had over 100 replies in 2 hours, but I was the only one that called dibs on the bike, so he told me lets let a date for 2 weeks from now. Two weeks pass, and we set a date for a week later for me to come. CRAP had to work that day and waited another week.

I am very proud and happy to have a NSR, love the handling and the feel. Just need to start cleaning and getting some new plugs for her.












281lbs WET, handles like a dream and the feel of a legal 2 stroke street bike inbetween my legs... PRICELESS.

Other bike is a Kawasaki AR80 I will be restoring this winter.
