My baby (motorbike)

[zeyus]

What you think? She's only tiny...
'02 Model Honda NSR 150SP
I can't get anything bigger than this NSR...
In Australia, untill you have your full licence you are restricted to a very low power to weight ratio, and definately nothing over a 650...and the only ~600 types of bikes you can get are like XR600...
Although a super motard WR250 could be fun

One day I want to get a R1! Or the GSX-R 750 / 1000 both are nice bikes, the 750 might be better suited for the riding I do...but they rev a fair bit higher.

My mate has a 05 Ducati 954( ?? I can't keep up with the number changes ) that's a nice bike too...and my cousin has the 600 Monster...thats pretty sweet!

That looks great.

I've never seen one of those but it looks trick. The single-sided arm looks cool as does the paint and bodywork. Give us some specs please. Is it liquid cooled,injected? Is the suspension adjustable? Is it a 2-stroke? Let us know. That frame looks familiar,like a previous generation CBR.

Here is its bigger cousin. It has 1137cc so about a liter more - the 125 is probably still plenty fast in normal traffic anyways

That paint job looks very good. I love the orange!!

Thanks

It's good to ride.

Its a 150cc (thats right, not a 125...weird huh) 2-stroke.

You will have seen its big brother on the GP races... Valentino Rossi used to ride the 500cc version of the NSR.
It's liquid cooled... and it's a kick start would you beleive it? lucky I rarely stall it (I can just imagine, kicking a bike over at the lights...hehe)

I'll copy/paste some info from this page:

I don't mind the blackbirds, my dad's mate had one, and they go allright

(understatement)

What my bike lacks in the CC department it makes up for in fun factor...

It's not the best for long rides / long straights. But it's fun

Nice scoot. Looks like it could teach you most of what there is to know. My '93 F2 still soldiers on; best sportbike I ever owned.

 

[vranswer]

I think it looks awesome. My first ride was a Honda.

Sweet thanks.

So was mine

XR 80 then XR 100 then WR200 (old 93 model...the two-stroker...) still got that...its fun on the dirt!

 

[Tuberoller]

I bet that thing screams. What's the redline? Does it have a single chamber muffler? Have you ever taken it to the track? If not,you should. I bet that bike handles great. I love really fast smaller bikes and I'm a sucker for a real track tool.

Again,congrats on a great bike.

 

[PsychoZX]

I love that paint job. Congrats on the new bike.

It doesn't go bad for it's size.

For what it is it has a really low redline, I think its like 8-9k

I don't know about the muffler...

Nope never been on a track yet

But dad said when I get back from travelling he and I will go down and do a advanced course in Sydney (he has already done one of them) and thats all track riding for a weekend...so that sounds pretty awesome to me

I haven't ridden my bike for over 7 months...long story...but in Australia your Learner permits are only valid for 6 months, and I lost my car licence for 6 months (motorcycle and car licences are combined here) so I couldn't drive or ride for that period of time and during the suspension my learner riders licence expired. so to get it back I have to do the course again (money) and the test again(more money) and pass (more money). I'm thinking of getting it again while I'm living in the UK and getting it transferred over to Australia when I come back.

So...I'm hanging out to go for a proper ride on it... we have these winding mountains near us called the Walcha mountain...awesome riding!!! I miss cruising around on it

NSR got a good power, if I'm not mistaken, you can't ride on a 250cc NSR on an Australian Learner license since it got a lot more power than other 250cc bike. I used to have 250cc CBR when I was in oz. Bike in US is just too big/heavy for me. I wish they have more 250cc bike here.

You are 100% correct, thats why I have the 150, because I can't get the bigger one.
The little CBRs are a nice bike too, thats the other bike I was thinking about getting (It was an imported one, went really well), but even thought the 150 is little it still has a top speed of 180KPH, which is enough to get killed at

... and you can lift the front wheel in the first gear or two at the right RPM...hehe nothing like my dad's bike though!
