Got a 1992 nsr myself, there well built bikes to be honest. Is yours the full faired version or naked F model? The most expensive part to fix on the engines is the barrel as its a plated barrel as standard, so can't be rebored. Mechanically there the same as the later foxeye nsr, so spares are pretty easy to come by. Done about 8k miles on mine over last couple years regularly doing 70-80 mile journey's. Will happily sit at 90 all day.

@dtr-nsr That's pretty decent to be fair.

Wouldn't mind having a little bit more of a nosey at the engines.

@dtr-nsr the full faired, sadly a couple of them are cracked and some stickers are damaged. Otherwise it's really nice.

[DTR+NSR]

The fairings for the full faired model are the hardest parts to come by, but they can be repaired with soldering iron.

@dtr-nsr soldering plastic? U mean melting the plastic together?

[Irongamer727]

Nice one btw!

Yeah that's it, found it works best cleaning it back to bare plastic, then melting the two edges back together.

[Calum]

@dtr-nsr Tried and tested lol

@Irongamer727 personally I prefer the rs I’ve never owned or seen either bike in person but I’m growing closer to the rs and want one more and more by the day and you can still get plastics for them but I’m not a huge fan of the old rs styling but the newer ones are beautiful

[Irongamer727]

@calum ehhm could you rephrase that? Didn't understand shit

[Calum]

@declan They are superb bikes and have plummetted in price. Pay a little extra, get one with decent genuine plastics as everything else can be easily had. Genuine plastics will cost you a fortune.

@calum on my local advert site there usually 900 pound good condition no problems listed with mot and such no idea what there actually like but there’s always a few on there’s one on now black with gold wheels 12months mot and such

Get the NSR, NSR engine is good for 30ish hp bone stock just deresreicted and is bullet proof reliable compared to the aprillia. I thrash the shit out of my Honda CRM125 " same engine lower gear ratios " and it loves it pulls like a train and just begs to be hammered makes a DTR seem like a 50 lol.

[terry.tz]

30hp just derestricted really is there much exaggeration there @scrimsmustang if not would love to see what a tuned one would get

[Calum]

@terry-tz Maybe at the fly, I very much doubt that sort of power at the wheel. A tuned Aprilia is around 25 at the wheel.

[terry.tz]

@calum that's why I'm asking

[Calum]

@terry-tz I don't know much about the NSR. Scrim gives me no reason to doubt him, I just know they raced the RS in GP and produced GP versions of the RS and that's the sorts of power they get.

[declan]

@calum I read the Suzuki’s were 22hp when I was looking into buying one

[scrimsmustang]

A fit full power foxeye nsr 125 is good for around 115mph, my 03 crm has 85 on clock and goes off with ease, just derestricted full arrow pipe.

[terry.tz]

hmm that sounds like a fun bike for 125
