Just last week, a long lost RSBFS friend reached out to me and welcomed my return to the rotation. Our conversation quickly turned to bikes, pricing and we both noted the lack to 2-strokes being offered for sale and how we both missed them.

The 1993 Honda CBR900RR you see before you would make…

The seller of this 1989 Honda NSR250R-SP was on the prowl for an OW-01 or an RC30 (must be nice …) and ended up with this bike through an online shopping error. Not a bad haul, but also…
