NSR250 issues?

[lb99]

I had an mc16 when I was 18, it made me into a madman everytime I hopped on it, it was fast, and it handled very well, and had extra good brakes too.
I thought it was easy to ride, fairly smooth for a 2 stroke sporty, happy enough to pootle around town, ok for hillstarts and 2up too, absolutly insane if used in anger

i've got a strange feeling that it is your bike - still in bits, from hamilton? rego?

Yes from hamilton. I got it from Palmy and sold it to a bloke in auckland (i THINK.. could be wrong!) for not much more (was enough to cover collection costs etc) Has/had Rothmans painted fairings.

I did receive an update on the bike- apparently the new owner had repaired a crack in the frame and he also bought over new cylinder barrels from overseas as well as some other parts which would have cost him big dollars.

Cant remember exactly but mine also had a spare bottom end and rebuilt carbs.

how do we put images into here?

My profile pic is a big single in an MC18 frame.

A small V twin would be better, vibrations become an issue with big singles.
Not impossible to overcome, just questionable wether it is worth it or not.

The 150 repowering idea is a good one, it is what I'm doing with mine now - for bucket racing.
Thats also a very good thing for a young rider to look at getting into.

Ha! I was looking at that one on tardme as an option for getting all the bits to remount a 2stroke in mine.
Decided it wasn't worth it for me...
