thanks for the welcomes! saw that one but i must be getting old or something as my plan of action is totally standard other than some suspension work and send it to your good self andy for some engine fettling.
i actually saw my 1st nsr250 come up for sale on our fav auction site last summer. i didnt want another 2 stroke road bike at the time but she was in a real sorry state. this is her back in 1999 when i bought it for my 19th birthday gift to myself (beats the lynx gift set i received from the missus)
since then ive had a mc21 and couple of other mc18. about 7 years ago i bought a seed r5k but unfortunately got stolen. the seed was certainly my favorite and want to replace it
