This fella has just had a new crank and is running very sweet. Floats might need adjustment, but it runs nice and is in nice shape. Fairings are 7/10 and it has full stainless Tygas and Carbon end cans.



Need a rough price to consider if it's worth selling. I love it to bits, but it's just not practical for more than 50 odd miles.

Just had my 21r in cup noodle colours up for sale, complete engine rebuild, 2k plus, fairly recent paint job by Altamura all airbrushed 1.5k, was looking for around £3600, couldnt get any offers over 3k. but strangely dealers are asking 4k plus for ones straight off the boat that they have just cast an eye over and done hardly any work at all on them. Whether they will sell them or not is another matter. But some people are strange, they would sooner buy off a dealer, perhaps that promise of a 3 month warranty makes them feel safer, rather than letting their eyes be their judge. Good luck with it.

most normal people 4k is a mc 21 from dealer or 3 yr old r6 track bike/racebike i know what most would rather have, maybe in 10/ 20 years time 2 strokes will be worth alot more to me now no 2strokes seem to be making much money except to certain people,

Number of things I think -

Location - Fuels so expensive and a bike couriers a joke (price wise) if you dont have a van.
Originality - Non original items can almost half the value.
Seller - As mentioned above a shop you can take it back too when it seizes up a week later is piece of mind to some people.

I sold mine last year November for £3000 non original but it was for sale for 3 months almost and the guy that bought it really wanted it even though it was heavily modified. The shops have the advantage of sticking them on their website and just waiting for the right person to either spot it or walk in. I guess what im saying is advertise it for as long as you can for as little as you can and eventually you'll get a fair price.

My two-penneth worth...

"............should have bought a Honda"

NSR technology is now 20 years old. Today's youth are not exposed to 2-stroke technology like they were 20 years ago. Heck, even dirt bikes are now 4-stroke. 10-20 years from now there will be no one interested in old and unfamiliar technology. Repair parts and shops will be harder and harder to find. And values will plummet unless you have a museum quality piece.

Many (most?) NSR owners either grew up with them, or longed for them in their youth. Many (most?) self-perform repairs as the cost to hire someone to do it would not make economic sense.

Take the cost to buy one in the $4-$7K USD range, add in tools and parts for a complete top to bottom rebuild and you've spent almost as much as a new CBR1000RR. And your labor is free.

My point: It is a labor of love. It has no economic sense to it. If all you wanted was to go fast on a motorcycle there are multiple options that cost less and perform better.

well said you made the point i was trying to get across a bit more understanable

Thanks for the replies. I only asked what the thing was worth, I am well aware that NSRs are not like gold plated rocking horse poo, I just wanted a rough price

A good clean original looking MC21R I would realistically estimate £2000 - £2500? Looks really nice and original but unfortunatley for you its an R and not an SE/SP which are far more desirable and worth a fair bit more.

Stick it on ebay and you will see what people really think its worth opposed to over inflated prices shops have of bikes that have been for sale for months and not sold.

I guess the real question is.....what price do you value it at?

I'd agree but that (£2.5k or there abouts) is still a lot of money compared to what they sold for not many years ago, NSRMonkey's '21r went for £800 with a brand new crank. And look at this from just two years ago, a beautiful original SE, sold for £2.3k after 3 months on sale (and going round on Ebay about 6 times).

Dead right Font, theres a lot of people wishing they had jumped on the bandwagon a few years ago, myself included, 20 years ago riding round on RC30,s and the like looking at nsr,s and thinking what a looker, but 250cc no way. How wrong I was.

The same NSRMonkey bought a 21sp (in slightly tacky Rothmans colours, but complete, running, full power and MOT'd) on ebay, 1 bid, £1500, no other bidders.

Have a read here as well, this thread was put up about the same time as Fastline and the like started asking big money for mc21s (mc28s were never cheap).

I swapped an RVF400 for an HRC carded, tyga tailed mc28se, that may look like a good deal now but reality is I got ripped off by about a grand.

Here's another one to make those catching the late boat cry

The list goes on and on, if Steve and Andy feel like it they can add some proper F3 parts bargain tales..........

Well it looks like it's a keeper then. I paid probably over the odds for it and have spend a few hundred on the old girl. If all I can get is 2K then it's not worth the effort of selling. I just need a bigger garage and then I can just buy more bikes, rather than having to sell one to get another

That's funny, the bike from NSRMonkeys which the dutch guy bought was for sale a few weeks ago. He asked 3.250 euro's for it because he needed money to race his Ducati.
I couldn't resist the temptation to take a look at it, but I bought a mc21 sp rothmans two year's ago for 4.000 euro's and desperatly want a mc28 too! So I didn't buy it.
I spoke to the guy who bought it. I think he is a technician at the Ten kate team.
I have never seen a mc28 for sale in the Netherlands and considering buying one in the UK.
The problem is that I am not sure if I can get a plate for it here.

I love the Repsol sp.
