Now that we've got a bit of an RS thing going here, with more new owners.
Thought I'd post these up pics in the RS section, for non-supporting members to be able to view.

That sure brought back some memories watching that lot Rich, good to hear Chris Carter commenting again, he might not have been politically correct for the PR men, but what he didn't know about road racing wasn't worth knowing. Also, where would one find one of those gorgeous gull arms to fit an old NF5 i wonder.

Yeah, some good video footage Les.
I might be wrong, but I think recall Steve saying HRC did a kit 'gull' swingarm for the NF5, back in the day??

Hiroshi Aoyama RS250RW link at the bottom of the page, check out how small the front rotors are!

Yep, you could buy those arms at one stage. I saw one once on Yahoo! Japan.

Here's a link to an old post. If you scroll down you'll see one of Christian's old bikes with a replica SPL kit swingarm fitted.

Can I clarify what I'm seeing in the top photos?

Are these both NSR250s? What year's are they. I assume that the one on the left is wearing older fairings? What's the story with these, did you restore/modify these? Please tell.

My god they look awesome. I think my wifes now for sale!

The very top photo's are Rich's RS250s. One an 1993 NX5 painted up in the Cadalora paint the second i think is 1991 NF5 with the older 88/89 fairings and a few other bits to make it you like Spencer's NSR250.

Is that right Rich?

Very very nice bikes!

Ok thanks mate. NX5 I haven't heard that code number before? Oh yes I'm not thinking HRC, the 125 is the NX4

I guess your St Alban's is not ours, ie in NSW?
