I am a 2 stroke guy and have 3 NSR250s and 3 YSR50s.
Here is my most coveted 1995 NSR250 SP in Mick Doohan's first GP500 Chamionship HRC colors. It was shipped to me in 2002 in this crate.

Nice bike,I remember the NSR 400 3 cylinders almost bought one before I ended up with the RG500 but the person who was selling it had no prove of ownership so gave up on it.

Wow a Britten, I remember reading about in in the early 90's. Legendary home built machines that beat the factory teams in their own race. There are only 10 or so around, right?

Steve...WOW! Just before I broke my back I was SERIOUSLY looking in to getting one of those (it was not that model year, as I broke my back in '90...so I was looking at '91 models) or a NC400...we had the RC750, but I couldn't afford $15k for a bike...I could have got the NC400 (or the NSR250) here and certed for something like $8k or a bit less. A bike import company out of CA was bringing them in from Japan!
Sure would have been fun...REALLY miss my motorcycle days!

1975 Kawasaki H1 500.
Looks good and runs even better. Between all my projects and everything...it's just sitting there.
Last year I put no more than 80 miles on it.

Hoyo,
Nice bike & one of the iconic Japanese collectibles, IMO (since there aren't too many left that didn't succumb to wrecks).
Yours seems to be original. How does it handle in the weather that's in your avatar when it hits its powerband?

Thats her.
Gary goodfellow was the guy who raced it in Canada; specificaly the Westwood track in the Vancouver area. He won against the cream of the Japanese bikes of the time RC30s, GSXRs and YZRs.
Gary who was a transplant from NZ raced the Britten in BOTS downunder. The bike also performed very well at Daytona.

Here's a pic of me on my first ride, a Matchless (I believe it's a 1949 G80S).
Second pic is my current ride: a 1952 BMW R68 (thought I needed a more contemporary bike).
