Just had the pleasure of meeting Les and buying his georgeous NSR 'Cup Noodle' this morning, then went out for a 60 mile round trip on my new baby. I am very pleased indeed, bit of an understatement really.
I am amazed by how much torque it appears to have for a 250.....much more than my RGV which is a bit of an 'on/off' switch really.
It's also such a confortable bike to ride.

Yes, I'm well happy.
Sorry but you folks have now got to put up with loads of daft questions from me now

Mike

p.s. Forgot to say...Thanks Les, youre a gent.

Thanks folks. This one is definitely a REAL keeper. I've already been round it with the WD40 soaked kitchen roll after my first ride (frame not paintwork of course).

I am definitely in love!!! And at my age too!

Mike

Mike, forgot to say, pm me your e mail and ill get some photos of the pipes to you. Les.

That bike has one of the best paint jobs going. Both the Cup Noodle design and the actual paintwork itself. No stickers!! The airbrushed Cup Noodle logo on the tank is mint.

Welcome on board!

Thanks all.
The paint job is indeed quite special, makes me worry 'big time' about dinging it..it would be a s*d to get touched up.

Was hoping to go out on it again today (day off) but I'm full of cold and the weather was rough.

Mike

Which bring us nicely to an interesting point about mint bikes. IE what the hell are they for?

What you want is a cheap set of bodywork you dare throw down the road

To own, ride and enjoy is why I bought the bike.

I don't intend to put any form of 'tatty' body work on it to throw it down the road. Good paintwork or not, I ride to my ability, and sometimes above on a good day. I am not out to impress anyone but myself with my very moderate expectations. Hell, the combined age of me and Noodle is over 80

I would like to do a couple of track days but not on this bike.

This is MY keeper! IE that's what the hell it's for

Mike
