1992 NSR250 an investment?

[lanci]

I've read that they could be a future investment type bike, in the same vein as the Widowmaker and original CB750. Thoughts?

More than likely this is true, they get rarer as the years go by...
The prices on them seem to be going up, don't think i'd bother with a MC21 for investment unless it was the SP model but that's just my opinion. (Nice 21SP at Cycle Spot in Takapuna at the moment )
There was one model of MC21 that they only produced 900 of and I believe that is the rarest of all the models.

Rothmans /Repsol MC28SP's seem to fetch good money around the world and I predict that will only increase.

Quite likely, they are pretty rare, especially good condition ones, and have a bit of a cult following. Also they are just an epic bike so you should get one regardless.

nearly as rear as a ducati that doesnt breck down

Its not a prudent investment but if you like it go for it.

Well... Yes...
There are no more road going 2 strokes being made like these.. So one day...
As said, an SP would be the one to get...
Personally I would actually go for a MC28... But, that is just me.

[imdying]

Yeah, shame there's no nice ones for sale in NZ at the moment.

Do you plan to ride your 'investment'.

Would definitely get a Sunday run every fine weekend...

Am thinking that direct Japan is the best option to source one... Anyone know any importers that are good to use?

Also think that the MC28 maybe the one to get...

[xxcbr69xx]

You'll have to ride it semi regularly!
If it gets parked up as an investment things will start dying and it'll cost a bunch to restore, Crank seals etc...

The MC28 is the best to get IMO, parts still available and one of the coolest looking 250 replicas with the pro-arm and the smart card ignition. Limited numbers of the SP's were produced, 1994 Rothmans 1500 made and 1996 Repsol 1000 made so if you see one snap it up! You have to check that they're genuine too, easy enough to fit plastics and stuff on an R or SE model.

def go mc28 as the 21 parts are getting harder to source and they dont make cranks for them any more if you ride it to those k's or hard enough

Same crank I believe and you can rebuild them if you are keen. Recently gave away my last set of genuine Koyo crank bearings but I heard more have become available in the UK. A spare set of bearings and pistons in the cupboard and you are set for years.

I whole lot of honda RS250 parts fit, or can be made to fit the 21 so options exist. ALthough if you are looking for investment you would wanna keep it original

The 21 is less complex and in my opinion a better bike than the 28. I had/raced a 93 MC21 SP rothmans which I sold to a buyer overseas years ago...I miss its rattle...
