1994 Honda NSR 250 for sale on the Minneapolis, MN CL and is said to have a current title and registration.

With a price of $10,000.00 and an average picture it makes this one tough to digest at first glance. I did a quick search on RSBFS.com for past MC28’s and this one might be a little on the high side, but you can be the judge.

Located in Hamm Lake, MN and listed on the local CL the seller doesn’t offer much information other than.

For sale 1994 Honda NSR 250 Mick Doohan Repsol replica bike

Licensed and titled in Minnesota

As the seller states this one is done up in the rare 96′ SP Repsol colors that commemorated Mick Doohan’s 95′ Grand Prix 500cc championship. There’s no mention of mileage, history, type of plastics on the bike i.e. OEM, Tyga or Chinese, but from what I can tell in the picture it looks pretty good. I really like the orange wheels v. the 96′ models black ones.

The 94 MC28’s were the first year for the single sided swing-arm and PGM IV engine management system that was activated by the smart card. The smart card doesn’t fare well with the die hard MC28 fans because they are hard to de-restrict for maximum power output. It was said that Honda used the PGM IV so they could meet the Japanese EPA restrictions that went in to effect in 1994. For whatever the reason, I think it’s pretty cool to have a card to start your bike.

So if you’re getting ready to jump in to the Spring bike market, but really can’t wait until the weather breaks give this one a look. You can check out the ad and contact the seller here

Cheers!

We’ve seen this bike before but it’s traveled across the country and the asking price has gone down since we last saw it just over a year ago!  Located in Farmingdale, New York is a 1991 Honda NSR250 SE with 4,039 miles.  This bike was last seen on 11/15/08 in Las Vegas, Nevada with 4,000 miles and an asking price of $6,300.  The asking price is now a very agreeable $4,600 OBO.  Caution should be taken as this ad lists a Nevada phone number in the contact information; however, it could be entirely possible that the seller from the original ad moved to New York and has re-listed it–unlikely as it may be.  The picture in the ad is different, but I just caution buyers because this may be stolen text and a similar picture with a lowered asking price.  This is a Super Edition bike with the dry clutch and adjustable suspension.  Some of the graphics on the bike have been removed.  If I haven’t scared you away, see the ad on Craigslist here.  See the original RSBFS ad here.

1993 Honda NSR 250R MC21 for sale in La Jolla, CA.

Owned and submitted by Harrison this sweet little gem has 16,000 on the clock, has new tires and is 100% stock. Apparently, Harrison imported it and has owned it since new. He tells me it has been well cared for and by looking at the pictures I can’t say I disagree. With all of these two strokes floating around RSBFS it’s making me crazy and I might do something silly to park one in my garage.

The MC 21’s introduced the Gullarm swing arm to the NSR line and I’d say it is the coolest thing next to a single sided swing arm. 1993 was the last year for the MC21 before the MC28 went on sale in November of 1993 as 1994 models. My favorite NSR is the 1990 SP, but that’s another story for another post.

Here are the pictures:

From the listing:

1993 Honda NSR 250R. California title and current registration.
This NSR was purchased new in Japan and was imported to the US by original owner. It’s entirely stock with all original plastics, front and rear seats, pipes, airbox, foot-pegs, suspension, oil injection, and tool roll. Compression 160/161. 16,000 miles. New front and rear tires, new windshield, and new battery

Interested? This one is listed on the San Diego CL and is priced at $7,000.00.

Cheers!

This NSR isn’t titled but it looks to be a nice example in the U.S.  This NSR250 is located in Bellmore, New York.  1993 was the last year for the MC21 range; being replaced in 1994 by the Pro-Arm equipped MC28.  The seller states that everything works, and works well.  As I said, this bike isn’t titled but, if you can overcome that–or are just looking for some living-room art–this could be a nice NSR for you.  The asking price may be a bit high at $5,000 with the lack of title and little other information.  This one’s worth a look.  See it on Craigslist here.

NSR 250se MC28 with low miles and it looks to be super clean from the photos. Though it isn’t stated in the ad, this one is titled and registered in California .

This example is said to be all original and only has around 5,800 miles on it. MC 28’s were in full swing in 94 and the NSR’s were highly developed by this time. The PGM IV carburetor management system worked better than any previous year and was said to be the best to date for street riding. In 1994 the ProArm NSR SE models were equipped with the dry clutch and Showa’s fully adjustable suspension front and rear. They also received upgraded colored front rotor hubs (as if that really matters), but hey, when you are trying to sell 250’s for $8,000.00 usd I guess you need to throw in anything you can to fill up the brochures.

This one is listed for $8,000.00 and considering it’s all original, has low miles, is titled and licensed it probably won’t be around too long.

If you want to know more about the history of NSR’s you can view it here.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I wish one (or more) of the major motorcycle manufactures could find a way to produce a sport version small cc bike. Obviously, the problem is pure economics. There simply aren’t enough people, like myself, who want a 60hp sport bike. What fun would drag racing a 60hp bike be? Or can you imagine extending the swing arm on one? HA!

Star light, Star bright, First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, Have this wish I wish tonight.

There! Maybe that will help

1993 Honda NSR 250SP MC21 Valentino Rossi Mugello replica with some very nice upgrades.

This sweet little NSR 250 SP was forwarded to us by Rock’n Randall and we certainly appreciate it. I’m normally not a fan of heavily modified motorcycles in any form, but this one had me from hello . Done up in classic Rossi style and based heavily on his 2001 Mugello Honda NSR500; this one is a must have for any Valentino Rossi fan. Anyone care to guess how long it took to lay-out the paint scheme? And hey, if you don’t like the Rossi repli paint scheme it’s being sold with another full set of OEM bodywork. There’s no mention of color, factory paint etc., but more is always better right? The upgrades to this one are both high quality and plentiful and the bike currently has approximately 17,350 miles on it. Give it a look and then check out the upgrades list.

Bike Info/Mods:
Tyga Bodywork, HRC Black Box, HRC Reed Valves, HRC Reed Valve Spacers, HRC Reed Valve Stuffers, HRC, Full Carb Setting Kit, Tyga Lightened Fly Wheel, HRC Race Plugs, Dog Fight Stainless Steel Pipes, Bomax, Motorsport Modified Air Box, Blue Anodized Quick Preload Adjusters, Dizzy MC21 Race shock, NHK Adjustable, Steering Damper, Honda Magtek Wheels Freshly Painted Flat Black, Tyga Step Kit, AFAM Sprockets 14t Front and 41t Rear, DID Gold 520ERV Chain, Michelin Pilot Sport Tires, HRC Race Break Pads, Heavy Duty Clutch Cable, Stainless Braided Mesh Lines Front and Rear, Dog Fight cans and more……..

If the lengthy list of modifications isn’t enough to get you revved up then to sweeten the deal the seller is throwing in the following as well.

I will include all extra parts and spares that I have lying around which include a full set of oem bodywork, bike stands, new spark plugs, extra x tubes, and brand new Daytona digital temp gauge that’s not installed.

All of this for $5,000.00, BUT it hasn’t been started in 2 years and currently doesn’t run. The seller states that it needs new plugs, carbs cleaned and some fresh fuel. However, if you aren’t the handy type the owner is willing to get it going and up the price to $5,500.00. Seller also states that it is registered for street use and both the top and bottom end of motor was redone prior to being stored. So if your interested or are a bigger die hard Rossi fan that this guy….

click on over to the Vancouver CL and check it out.

Just for the fun of it I was going to throw in a video of the The Doctor doing his thing, but I couldn’t find one video of Rossi in action that wasn’t blocked by youtube. Did I miss something?

Cheers!

UPDATE (1/25):  The seller let me know that this bike sold for $8,500; Congrats!

This bike is in beautiful, recently restored, condition!  Located in Dover, Delaware is a recently restored Honda NSR250SP Rothmans bike.  Details are still scarce but there are plentiful pictures and a known asking price of $6,000 and the bike shows 11,450km.  If this bike is titled it is a very good price! Details will be updated when/if we get them before this bike sells.  As you should know, this is the only generation to use the PGMIV and the only one with the Pro-arm rear swing arm.  See the ad on ApriliaForum here; and see the detailed photos on Picasa Web here.

Located in Newburgh, New York is a 1993 Honda NSR250SE.  This bike isn’t the best replica and isn’t perfect with some electrical and light cosmetic issues however, it seems to be a very good driver featuring HRC, RS25o, RC51 and Tyga accessories.  The asking price is $7,999.  See the bike on Craigslist here.

I must say I am surprised to see so many 2 strokes for sale as of late. I think this makes three that I’ve posted with-in the last week and that’s not to mention the others from Alex that he put up this week.

On to the good stuff- 91 MC21 with a mere 13,944 or 8,648 on the clock, which is way low for a bike of this year. As many of you may recognize this is not a factory color scheme, but is in fact a set of Chinese aftermarket bodywork. However, the seller states that he does have the original set that came with the bike, but discloses that it has some scrapes and scratches. He also states that the fit and finish on the aftermarket set is pretty good and was installed with no modification needed. I will say that is surprising to me!

Listing quote:

1991 nsr250 that was all original when I got it right down to the tires. I replaced the OEM plastic with Hong Kong plastic. Believe it or not it all fit very well with no modifications. I powder coated the rims and put new Pirelli tires, chain and sprockets, and brake pads and had the bike serviced with all new fluids and spark plugs. There is 150pound in each cylinder and the bike starts rite up and idles and runs great. I will include the original plastic with the sale and have included a pic of it on the bike. It has some blemishes so I went with the repsol look. It has the original Japan title. It is not registered in the USA but the VIN is present. Everything works on the bike all lights injection system and even the horn.

Sounds like this could be a nice one considering everything works and is un-modified. I’m not a huge fan of aftermarket parts on rare sport bikes, but this one doesn’t strike me too far off base. The “low mileage and all original” more than make up for the Hong Kong addition. So if this sounds like your cup of Tea, click the ebay link above and have a look at the rest of the pictures. The seller has his phone number listed for those who are interested.

Cheers!
