1989 Honda Other

MC181101777

Clear

I am selling my 1989 Honda NSR 250R MC18-II two stroke motorcycle. For those unfamiliar with this bike, it is the street version of Honda's legendary 250cc Moto GP race bike, the NSR250. Despite it's small displacement, this is not a beginner's motorcycle! The two stroke engine is very powerful for its size and the bike weighs in at less than 300lbs. On a twisty road, it will leave larger displacement bikes in the rear view mirror. Plus the sound, feel, and power delivery of the two stroke engine is unlike any four stroke motorcycle. The bike is in overall great condition, with 4,775km (<3,000 miles) on the clock. There are a few minor scratches on both the bodywork and one exhaust silencer (see pictures) but no other significant damage. The bike kick starts from cold on the first try and runs/revs very smoothly (see video). Honda never sold this bike in the U.S. as the EPA banned most two stroke powered road vehicles in the '70's. As such, they are extremely rare. There are a handful of these bikes in the U.S., some here legally, and others illegally. In general, two strokes less than 25 years old are still banned by the EPA, so use caution if you are looking at a similar bike that is newer than 1990. This bike was imported legally by myself directly from Japan, and I have all the US Customs paperwork to verify its legality. I also have a clean and clear Virginia title in my name, which has an 11 digit VIN that matches the bike's frame number. Photos: The first seven photos show the bike from various angles and the speedo/odometer in km. The remaining photos show the following marks & scratches: right front fairing, center front fairing, left front fairing, right indicator, left body fairing, right exhaust silencer, & rear seat fairing. I have posted video of the bike starting from cold and running at: https://youtu.be/mCrKztEpAJ8 Please note that the vehicle does not come with a warranty. The buyer is also responsible for paying transportation/delivery costs but I will be happy to help arrange and facilitate shipping. Happy to answer any questions you may have. I can be reached via email or phone at (703) 831-7143.
