Little two-stroke rippers like this Honda NSR150 SP epitomize Honda’s 1990s golden age, when the company saw fit to make even their entry-level machines look and feel special. Even on a 150cc starter bike, Honda went all-out, giving it an RC30-aping single-sided swingarm, and a GP-replica Repsol paintjob. You might not be going as quick as your older buddy’s 250, but you were damn sure going places.
Honda NSR150 SP for sale on eBay
When compared to a modern CBR250, the NSR looks almost muscular. Depending on the country of origin, the RC-Valve two stroke in NSRs made somewhere around 30 horsepower, pushing them to close to 100 mph on the big end, depending which YouTube users you believe. Those numbers are plenty to bring the fight to an early 2010s CBR250, especially when you consider that the NSR150 SP clocks in under 300 pounds.
This one is stock, and in very close to mint condition. There is a crack in the front fender, and the rear was cut below the license plate, but that is more or less it for blemishes. It comes on with an Ohio street title.
