1994 Honda NSR 250R MC28 SE

Location: New Zealand
Mileage: 25,000km
Price: $5,500.00 (about)

All you guys looking to sell your RSB’s take note of this listing and the quality of the pictures. This is how it’s done….

RSBFS viewer, Tom from New Zealand, is letting go of his stunning Honda NSR250se. Tom has done a superior job of accessorizing it with a few choice bits from Tyga (I’m going to give a shameless plug now).

Ever since I’ve become interested in 2 strokes I’ve noticed a lot of strange part manufacturer names along the way. In talking to any 2 stroke guy they are sure to tell you who they “use” for upgraded parts. Tyga seems to rank high on everyone’s list and after a quick view of their website it became very clear as to why this is. I spent countless hours flipping through their pages of parts and offerings. Much to my surprise they even offer a lot of items for 4 strokes. My favorite item is an exhaust they call “The Moto Maggot” It sounds wicked and if by chance Paul or any of the other guys at Tyga read RSBFS and want to let me give the Moto Maggot a test run and review you can contact me through this posting. Thanks in advance

Okay, back to Tom’s NSR-

Oh wait a minute.. that is more of my shameless plug for Tyga, but it looks pretty damned nice on Tom’s bike. Don’t you agree?

From the listing:

If you’ve found your way to this listing you probably already know what you’re looking at. If not, this is a 249cc, 90 degree v-twin two stroke race rep with adjustable suspension, dry clutch, single side swingarm, PGMIV credit card ignition. I have owned this bike since December last year and in that time have put about 9,000 km on the clock. I have done a lot of work to this bike and have de-restricted it using TYGA Performance parts.

- Replaced battery with a gel type (no maintenance)
- New DID gold chain
- Replaced steering stem bearing
- Fitted stainless steel TYGA expansion chambers and silencers
- Fitted TYGA reed blocks and valves
- Fitted an MC21 flywheel
- Fitted TYGA fork caps
- Fitted MC21 exhaust hangers
- Fitted TYGA titanium levers
- Fitted TYGA carbon meter surround and carbon radiator shrouds
- Rebuilt clutch with new fibre plates and heavy duty springs
- Replaced lots of fasteners and rubber bushes
- Fitted TYGA screen
- Lots of spare parts

That is quite a laundry list and as I stated before, the bike looks SICK! I’m guessing this little gem wouldn’t last long at all in the states because at this price he’d be giving it away. Tom was gracious enough to make a few video’s of his NSR so make sure you scroll down and check them out.

You can view Tom’s listing here.

Does anyone have a contact that can import bike parts from down under? I need to get a quote and fast!

I almost forgot that I wanted to point out one of the pictures.

Aren’t you envious of Tom for getting to ride his NSR back home?

Good luck with the sale Tom!

Cheers!

1997 HONDA CBR 400 RR FIREBLADE Titled!

Location: Spring Branch, TX
Price: $7,900.00
Mileage: 17,317

These are some of the hardest 400′s to come by in the states. We have featured more VFR400 and RVF400′s than CBR400′s. You want to be the talk of your next Hooter’s Bike Night? Pull up on this one and make sure you have a bottle of water with you because you’ll be dry from all of the gum flapping you’ll be doing.

They are very rare in the US and even more so in this condition.

Recently been serviced, NEW Two Brothers Racing full exhaust system ($900 USD).

Has always been garaged, never raced, adult owned and is in excellent condition! She starts, runs and rides great! Everything works – idles smooth and runs strong. This bike always draws a crowd. I’m constantly asked if it is a current model and love watching people’s jaw drop when I tell them its a 97 model! I know I’m going to regret selling it…

When these CBR’s were available, they had all the features of a big CBR just in a smaller package. They feature a DOHC, four valve per cylinder, transverse four cylinder, four stroke, producing 53hp and rev’ing to 14,500rpm. An aluminum frame kept weight down to 163kg and they featured a Showa adjustable rear shock and flat-side carb’s . This bike is exotic to us American’s featuring the dependability of a Honda four-stroke.

1986 Honda NS400R 3 cylinder 2 stroker

Make: Honda
Model: NS400R
Mileage: 15,000
Price: $2,550 did not sell asking price was 5,500

In the world of 2 strokes you have your milestone bikes, your cool bike, your fast bikes, your 4 cylinder 500′s, your 2 cylinder 250′s, BUT how about a 3 cylinder road going and titled NS400R?

RSBFS reader and all around good guy Terry has his NS400R up for grabs and it looks to be pretty darn nice. I can say that I have first hand experience in buying a bike from Terry as he sold his wonderful 7R to me this past May (Thanks bro!)

Here’s the NS400R:

This is a nice ns400r rothmans. this bike just had a high end re-paint by one of the best shops in Arizona back to stock Rothmans colors. It is a japanese model with 25k kilometers or 15k miles. Runs great, no problems at all. It has a CLEAR New Mexico title. It is not perfect, i am sure it has been dropped at low speed some time in it’s life, but there is no damage from that at this point. It has a new rear tire, chain and sprockets. The front sprocket is one down from stock as it was way overgeared when I got it. The exhaust cans are not stock , I think they are JHL from Japan. The overall chassis could use some touching up of paint to make it show quality, like the fork lowers etc. The front fender has the little fairings that were on the japanese models as well, but I left them off because it looks cooler without them. They are newly painted as well. I left off the mirrors, but I have those too. Feel free to contact me with any questions or offers, I am starting at 5500.00 . I will need to get at least that for it.

And there you have it in the sellers own words. Believe me when I tell you that Terry knows motorcycles very well and is telling you what his NS400R is all about. If you have any questions about it you can jump over to the auction and he has his phone # listed there. I didn’t list here because I didn’t want him to receive 100,000 prank phone calls this month.

Just in case you’ve never heard a 3 cylinder 2 stroke- turn up the volume and hit the play button.

Cheers!

Our friend and fellow NSR250 enthusiast, Nathan, has written back to us to let us know that he is letting go of one his bikes. As always we’re flattered when readers think of us, especially with such nice hardware as this.

If you’ve come this far you probably know exactly what an NSR250 SE MC28 is, but if not, here are some quick comments from this website Nathan refers to regarding NSR250 history:

On November 11, 1993 the all new MC28 model NSR went on sale in Japan as a 1994 model. It was completely different than previous models and changed peoples thinking about two stroke technology. The new Proarm NSR’s as they became known in Japan were the ultimate 250 bike for the street. They had PGM IV technology which allowed more accurate1994 NSR 250 R – 57K for more control of the carbs, smooth operation and perfect driving manners unlike past two stroke bikes. The all new Memory card replaced the standard key and made de-restricting the bikes very difficult. The 1994 lineup saw three types of NSR’s for sale once again. There was the standard 250R type model in fighting red and Ross white. They were sold with a regular wet type clutch and non adjustable suspension. They were priced at 680,000 Yen. 1994 NSR 250 SE – 58K for full imageThe SE model was priced at 720,000 Yen and came with the fully adjustable suspension front and rear made by Showa plus the dry clutch and different colored front disc rotors. SE colors were the same as the standard R type in fighting red and Ross white but were marked SE and the NSR logo was in bright yellow. SE models also were sold in blue and white with orange accents and also were marked SE but the NSR logo was white.

If interested, contact Nathan directly at: 714 833 4993

quote from his eBay listing:

Super RARE 1995 Honda NSR SE 250 or also known as a (MC-28) It has a CA plate and registration which is very hard to get on these so it’s ready for the streets. It has very low miles 5418 KM which = 3366 miles only!! These are actual factory farings not repainted after market china knock offs this bike is in amazing condition considering the age of this bike!! The whole bike is still stock except the turn signals in the rear have been taken off and now work with the rear brake lights!! also just put on brand new tires so this thing is 100% ready to go!!

Hi-Res Gallery Exclusive to RSBFS:

With only some 3400 miles, this bike is barely even broken in — not to mention Nathan prefers his bikes only one way: spotless! I expect this bike is worth a look if it’s passed his criteria.

Good luck with the sale Nathan!

Two 1987 Suzuki GSX-R750′s:  One Restored, One Original

While I did enjoy my new shirts for Fathers Day (yawn),  I would much rather have one of these GSX-R750′s.  If you didn’t feel the love on Fathers Day then maybe it is time to take matters into your own hands.  Here are two really nice examples of early model GSX-R750′s.  They still may be the purest examples of a race bike with lights.  Do you remember the endurance  bike pictured in this promo shot  that Suzuki based  the GSX-R750 on?

Lets start with the restored one. 

From the auction:

I have owned this bike for over 3 years and have been restoring it ever since. This bike is so rare, as it still has the original air box, exhaust and all original parts (reflectors, trim pieces, etc) !! Not to mention, it also has the optional rare REAR SOLO COWL and SIDE VENTS (not yet installed in pics – doing that this weekend) that you can no longer buy and rarely see on any 1987 GSX-R750.

In talking to representatives from Suzuki, they have told me that there are less than a hundred left in this condition !!

The paint has been Color Matched and Restored to the ORIGINAL COLORS and PATTERNS!! All original decals were used as well!!  Paint and decals alone cost over $2000 !!

Basically everything has been restored or replaced. New Tires, New Brakes, Rebuilt Calipers, Rebuilt Front Forks, New Chain, New Sprockets, All New Body Fasteners, MANY New Trim Pieces, New Windshield, New Headlight Bulbs, New Battery and much much more !! Z

I rode this bike before I put the body back on and it runs great !! Carbs were just cleaned !! NO MILES HAVE BEEN PUT ON THIS BIKE SINCE PUTTING THE BODY BACK ON

From the looks of it,  the bike has had a really nice going over.   It my worth asking how much of the engine has been replaced or inspected.  I didn’t see too much of that mentioned.  As with any older bike you should take extra time to give it a thorough look over.  As far as the outward appearance goes, it looks sharp.  The bidding as already started and there is a buy it now option on the bike.  What do you think, the seller is asking almost $5000 for the buy it now option. .

On to the second bike.

Is that thing clean or what?  I thought I keep my bike in nice shape.  This one is all original and I mean original.  The seller states it still has some of the various warning stickers on it.  You know, the ones we all rip off 30 seconds after we have the bike home.  You really have to read the sellers auction.  It is quite lengthy and he goes over almost everything you could want to know about the bike.

Here is just a portion:

The GSXR is truly stock and complete.  Everything is there, and nothing is missing.  All major items are intact, and all small ones are too.  For example, all of the original stickers are still on the bike including the one warning you not to modify the aluminum alloy frame.  The foam cushions for the fuel tank, the heat shields under the tank and behind the carburetors and all cable ties are still there.  Even the paint dabs on the rear brake caliper bolts as well as on other fixings are still visible.

There are only two modifications from as-delivered condition, and both could easily be undone.  We installed an Ohlins shock absorber with a ride height adjuster to give us a little extra cornering clearance.  We bought the shock from Noleen Racing and still have the original box and installation instructions.  We also have the original shock, so you could reinstall it if you wish.  The only other mod was the addition of bungee hooks to the seat.  They simply clamped on, so you could remove them too if you wanted.

We have all of the other items that really complete a motorcycle but often go missing when it’s time to sell.  The tool kit is complete; the owner’s manual is in good condition, and we have both keys.  We have a genuine factory service manual as well as a sales brochure.  In addition and unknown to many, a seat cowling for that mono posto look was included when you bought a GSXR.  We have the cowling, all hardware and the installation instructions.  Lastly, we have a pair of genuine Suzuki accessories for the machine, a tank bag and a tank bra, both in great condition.  All of these things go with the bike.

The auction on this bike has a ways to go and has a reserve set.  This is the type of bike that could really set a  market price for early model GSX-R750′s.  It is bone stock and in incredible shape.  I’d keep on eye on what it goes for so you can judge the price of future late model GSX-R750′s that end up for sale.  If you say heck with the future I want it now then follow .

Here is another Suzuki promo shot of the endurance and the GSX-R production bike.

1993 Honda NSR 250 SP for sale

Location: Monroe, Georgia
Price: 5,000 with reserve on
Mileage: 14,000

Saw this one on eBay and know that we have several followers who lust after these. This is probably the closest I’ve ever seen one to me and probably isn’t too far from Ian.

Pimped out in Tyga bodywork that has been painted to factory colors. The pictures really look good and I love the green number plates.

Check it out:

Here’s a great deal to pick up a GP replica. I’ve owned this ’93 Honda NSR250 SP (2 stroke) for about 8-9 years now. It is TITLED in the state of GA. The odometer is currently showing 23K kilometers. I just don’t ride it very much anymore and need the space in the garage. This is a rare chance to own a true classic. Getting one titled these days is almost unheard of as this bike was never imported into the U.S.

The bike has Sportec M-1 tires, Ohlins steering damper, Tyga Eyes front fairing painted in stock colors with a Tyga front fender. The airbox has been modified and the carbs rejetted to suit. Aftermarket chambers (unknown brand) w/ carbon end cans. The front end has adjustable MC28 SE front forks w/ CBR929 Nissin calipers. There is a matching rear caliper. Braided front brake lines. The engine has been derestricted using an HRC box which has been carefully wired in so you can change it back to stock in just minutes. Probably more things that I’m not remembering at the moment.

The bike has no issues (never has). Just needs a rider.

Cheers!

1989 Honda Hawk NT650 with only 803 miles on the clock

I figured this one was worthy of a RSBFS post and since the owner wouldn’t trade me for my 90 FZR 400 yesterday, you have a chance to pick this one up. Yes, I would have traded my 90 for this beautiful, low mileage NT650. 803 miles in 21 years is unheard of for a motorcycle. Heck, most guys do that in a week during the summer months. The price? It’s only $3,400 bucks and I think that is a steal for a bike in this condition.

Check it out here and don’t let this one get by you.

Cheers!

1994 Honda nsr250 se and it looks immaculate!

Location: VISALIA, CA (yup, you guessed it……it’s at Larry’s house)
Mileage: 11,800 miles
Price: $510.00 current bid with reserve FIRMLY in place.

Ah yes, another super nice bike for sale from Larry’s stable. No, I don’t know Larry personally, but I hear he is a super nice guy with a heck of a collection and the latest one he is letting go of is on par with the other bikes we’ve seen from him. This baby is Clean with original bodywork and not a scratch anywhere in sight.

Take a look:

All oem honda plastic in near perfect shape with one crack pictured above the left hand mirror hardly noticeable, but there. The tank is 99.8 percent perfect not one scratch or ding. It has 100 miles on a Tyga 300 big bore kit top end. The bike looks and runs amazing and it is California titled and plated in my name with the original VIN number. This bike has tons of money in it and its history goes deep I bought this last year and had the top end professionally installed. Before the top end it dynoed at 55hp and am awaiting more miles on it before I have it run again to see what it will do. It has VHM heads to add to the 300 big bores performance, a very unique, awesome bike

Pretty impressive huh? Let’s play ‘I spy’ for a moment..

I spy Ohlins shock, Ohlins steering dampener, Tyga exhaust, Tyga rearsets (drool bucket please!), memory card and some super shiny skins. Now I realize that some of you are wondering where ‘I spy’ some of these tasty bits because you can’t see them in the photos I imported. As usual Larry hooks us up with some awesome photos over on the auction site so you’ll have to make the jump to view more of this machine.

So I’ll admit I’m not super duper knowledgeable when it comes to NSR’s, but I can certainly appreciate a sweet ass bike when I see one.

Been looking for a NSR with low miles from an owner who takes care of his toys?

Cheers!
