@calum surely! There is a time for an Aprilia as well.
-
@irongamer727 Yeah, I just wouldn't spend £400 on one lol. Chances are it'll be trashed.
Let us know what you end up with anyway./
-
@calum count on it!
-
@irongamer727 Where you from bud?
-
@calum right in the middle of Sweden.
@irongamer727 Nice, basically, in the UK it's full of disrespectful kids that end up getting really nice bikes and killing them. Or it's full of scum bag thieves that take really nice bikes and trash them. Now every bike I've been posted outsiode of the UK looks a million times better than what we have here. So my negative view is probably just a UK thing.

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 the full faired, sadly a couple of them are cracked and some stickers are damaged. Otherwise it's really nice.
-
The fairings for the full faired model are the hardest parts to come by, but they can be repaired with soldering iron.
My 1992 nsr125rk
@dtr-nsr soldering plastic? U mean melting the plastic together?
-
Nice one btw!

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

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

@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.

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.
