UPDATE: Sold for $7,200 – Congratulations! Until recently, bikes like this Featured Listing Honda NSR250R MC16 were forbidden fruit here in the USA.

The bike made serious power and handled extremely well, but wasn’t good for much other than racetrack antics and perfectly smooth roads. Like its descendants, the NS250R was packed full of…
