If you’re a fan of two-stroke GP replicas, then this little Honda NSR250SP needs no introduction. Interestingly, it looks like there are two different bikes in the photos, but a quick read of the listing indicates that he’s got two complete sets of plastics, one Repsol and one Rothmans, although the headlight configuration is obviously different for the two. Which is sort of cool: bored some rainy weekend when you’d rather be out riding? Grab some tools and swap your bodywork!
The NSR250R was powered by a 249cc, liquid-cooled two-stroke 90° v-twin that featured Honda’s ATAC torque-boosting system to plump up the characteristically thin two-stroke midrange. The cassette-type six-speed gearbox is a nice feature, but probably not much use for anyone outside of a race team: designed for faster gearing changes trackside, it provides a nice talking point for the rest of us.

Although it’s titled for road use in New York, with all the spare parts, this might make an excellent road and track machine, although you wouldn’t want to risk that Rothman’s bodywork. Or probably the Repsol! Fortunately, it looks like it comes with spare plastics as well…
Obviously, this thing’s a bit of a mongrel, although it looks like it combines the best of several generations of NSR250’s, so that’s not necessarily a bad thing, unless you’re a purist. Any experts want to weigh in on the choices the seller made in building this little monster?

Red clutch cable, black clutch cable.
Black frame, silver frame.
Gold triple clamp, black triple clamp.
Definitely 2 different bikes shown.
It’s not too bad and would probably ride well however the asking price is far too steep probably worth half that, maybe less
I don’t get it. The pics dressed in rothmanns have stock rearsets. The pics dressed in repsol have the frame painted black. Are the rothmans pics just old?
Isn’t the cats eye Repsol upper fairing from the NSR150?
Its a lot of money for a bitsa-NSR. Nice bike, but just way over priced.
Could of been an earlier version of the TYGA fairing kit I think they used to have something like that a while ago
