I could very well have rose colored glasses for my NSR, but after doing my research, this bike is superior for its time. I know Yamaha as well as other makes have come a long way, I also know any modern two stroke would probably own me on the track. However, Honda pioneered two stroke technology back in 1987.

I'm confident I have a classic on my hands. The fact that the guys are now tryin to get their own NSRs speaks volumes. My Danish friend will be here tomorrow (screw the typhoon, we're gonna work on our bikes!) and he's bringing spare coils with him.

Seeing as the only thing I can currently do on my bike is clean it, it's the shiniest NSR you've ever seen. Just tryin to show it some love and respect...

Wish me luck, I may be riding tomorrow at long last. It may be raining hard enough to blow me right off the road, but I wouldn't be happier....
