Honda NS250R
 |
Before there was
the NSR, Honda was busy racing and winning with it's RS250R works racers.
So Honda decided to make a street model based on the championship winning
machines. The NS250R was born !! |
| The NS250R was
state of the art in it's day and even today is still quite a respectable
bike. |
 |
 |
The engine for
the NS was closely based on the same design as the factory works machines.
A liquid cooled two stroke V-twin type engine with 45 horsepower at 9,500
RPM gave the NS250R more than enough power. |

The NS250 was
also available in a non cowl type or naked style, it was known as the
NS250F. Performance was the same, but the R type had better aero dynamics
due to it's sleek bodywork |
| The NS250R was
also available in the Rothmans racing colors. These were special edition
bikes and are worth more than the standard R and F models. Click
