Perhaps next year I can join you fellas with those smokers!

What sort of money did you get that for (don't reply if you don't want to)?
It's a long time since I looked at 250's so have no idea what sort of money they go for?
Are there still plenty of engine parts for these?
Ive seen roadworthy 21 R models fo for as low as £2k, trouble is 99% of people that consider selling them see fastlines prices and have a go theirselfs as its the same old ones on ebay time and time again. Find a cheap resto project your end up rebuilding it anyway lol

Got it home tonight. Think I might have smoked out most of south east kent on the way home. Has been stood for a few years so that's to be expected.

I've never had a bike with a dry clutch before so it's quite alarming when you pull the clutch lever in and all hell breaks loose in the engine. lol

I love the sound of the dry clutch too, wanted to do the conversion on mine but the mc16 bottom end is slightly different :( how does the bike feel to ride compared to the nc's?

I briefly followed zippy today on the FZR and was amazed how much midrange grunt the NSR had, I know FZR's are not known for their great midrange but everytime he gunned it i had to drop a couple of gears and pin it just to stay in touch. Cant wait to get mine going :grin:

I've fitted the tank and rearsets to mine and it does feel really small to sit on I look silly enough riding an nc30 so god knows what it will be like when I'm on the NSR, really hoping it lives up to the hype.
