I know where I was; sitting in high school dreaming of a way to get a hold of a two stroke street bike. Well, I was dreaming about some other things as well but that is for another web page. The MC16 was Honda’s first real try at a ‘race replica’ 250 and they scored a hit with it. It may look a bit dated compared to later NSR’s but there is plenty here to work with.
Most importantly it is titled so check that off your list. How does it look for being produced back in 87? I think it looks pretty darn good. Yes, there are some scrapes/dings and some corrosion but overall it looks in good shape. From the sellers description it sounds like the carbs need a good going through but that isn’t unusual.
Other than the chambers, I’m not noticing a lot of changes to the bike. Stock photos show the bike with a blue passenger seat.
Lets hear from the NSR experts on what little bits and pieces might be missing. I’m noticing a bar end and mirror.
Here is what the seller had to say:
up for auction here is a very rare honda
nsr250r 2 stroke grand prix bike
is a #312 bike on frame sticker
i got the bike ,cleaned carbs,changed plugs and oil
it starts right up runs great with choke on
carbs will need to be synced up
at top end bike flys with choke off
shifts through all gear and has plenty of pull!
so im thinking air/mix screws are off
is all original paint on bike
has a couple little cracks and scratches
bike is missing tool kit,will also need 2 of the 1/4 turn fairing fastners on lowwer right fairing
please look at all pictures posted of bike
has a clean and clear michigan title in my name
speedo is in kilometers,shows 10,000 km
comes with original binder manual and new brake pads for front and rear,still in package from previous owner
bike is missing right side mirror as well
It might be a nice candidate for a full restoration project: for the right price.
