Honda NSR125

...choose I came across the Honda NSR125 and knew instantly I wanted one! After looking around for a few weeks I eventually bought a 2001 model in Red white and Blue, from a local motorbike dealer for £2200. -----Style----- Wow! was my initial thought...the bike looks like a 600cc! Stylish curves and fat wheels. The only give away is the smaller exhaust (and the fact I’ve got 'L' plates). The bike is a definite head turner. The fairings also do their ...
...you do have to duck your head down a bit to optimise the effect of the screen. The fat wheels are very reassuring and allow you lean round any corner with confidence. One thing which looks out of place on this bike is the rear indicators, they stick out for miles...so much so you could hang you washing on them and dry it whilst you ride! But this is only cosmetic, and let’s face it the longer indicators make you more visible and therefore safer. ...

Review of Honda NSR125

I’m writing this from memory so you will have to excuse some of the details I may miss. I bought an NSR125 about 6 years ago second hand, it was the old styling where there were 2 colors available, white and red. I rode it on a moped license with “L” plates which you could do at the time as long as it was restricted (I don’t know if you can do it now)? Then after 6 months I passed my test, kept it another 6 months and sold ...
...The riding position was very nice and the fairing did a brilliant job of keeping the wind of and the rain. I don’t remember how many miles it was between fill ups but I don’t remember getting on first name terms with the local petrol station so it couldn’t have been that bad. It was irritating having to check the two stroke oil tank every 2 or 3 fill ups to make sure you weren’t caught short but it did have a warning light ...

Review of Honda NSR125

...whom wanted to sell a Honda NSR125. I know you must be wondering why that and not another. Anyway, I was little confused about all the rules on motorcycling but was glad to find that as I had passed my test none applied to me. The Honda NSR 125 is a watercooled single cylinder machine the most expensive of the 125 cc machines that Honda makes it has some interesting features and is at the most fasionable end of the market for learner and commuter ...
...Hence, I am reviewing the Honda NSR125. ~The Look~ ------------- It's has a white plastic and metal body with silver controls with black buttons on the handlebars and blue display screen on the instrument panel. I liked that clearly. It's got many buttons on the front of the handle bars on-off switch, stop clutch/brake leavers, speedo, revcounter etc. The seat is a black with silver inserts with the flexibility of extra features that the machine ...

Review of Honda NSR125

I passed the Compulsory Basic Training about a month ago, and picked up a brand new NSR125 the same day. I looked at a couple of bikes, but being 6ft3 and built like a brick out-building, my choices were somewhat limited. The NSR125 looks like a 500cc, the only real give-away being the scaled down exhaust. It's a two-stroke engine which is great for being first away from the traffic lights! Being the only bike I've ridden, aside from the Yamaha ...
...most comfortable bike you'll ever ride. You always seem to have a lot of body weight resting on your arms, and this can be fairly uncomfortable after a while. But, maybe I just need to relax more. :) Routine maintenance of this bike is a little fiddly. If you don't know anything about bikes, a 2-stroke engine uses oil, just as it uses petrol. Therefore you have to put more oil in periodically. The oil filler cap is situated underneath the petrol ...

Review of Honda NSR125

...-review information my new 03 Honda NSR is sitting outside waiting for me to ride it. Here follows a report and review of the bike to date as yet unridden and an update once I have taken my CBT (on sat) and actually ridden the bike, but it may be of use to folks who are 2 -3 weeks behind me in the purchasing process Background: I am 36 years old and now have a little more money and had the BMW and the posh watches etc and like many men my age decided ...
...bike which ironically was a Honda MT5..49cc . Unlike my friends I did not take my bike test at that time and now regret it as it was easier (so I understand). So I was left with the quandry as many whether to do a direct access and get a larger CC (like many and frighten myself to death with an R1) or do my cbt and see first whether I actually like motorbiking still - the roads were a lot quieter 20 years ago. I really wanted to bite the bullet ...

Review of Honda NSR125

ever since the NSR first came on the market, I wanted one. I was immediately drawn to it. It looks sharp. a great bike to stand next at boxhill on a sunny sunday afternoon and say 'this one's mine'. the ride position is definitely very sporty. you can just feel yourself moulding to the tank as you reduce air drag. The throttle talks to you, saying quietly in your ear,'open me up, come on, you can do more, that's it, keep going'. It seems to tell ...
...for such a small but heavy bike. There seems to be a feel of comfort when riding it. It takes care of you and seems to know what to do. a bit sluggish in low rpm, but just pull on the throttle and it's 'lift off'. Great on corners and even better on the straight. Servicing and parts are not a problem for this machine as it has been around for many a year now. So, from new parts to second hand, you should not have much trouble with keeping it on ...

Review of Honda NSR125

...125, but it's very reliable. Honda make great bikes that are very reliable and easy to ride. The only downside to the bikes appearance is that it is very attractive to thieves. My advice for any rider is to forget about immobilisers and alarms and simply get a nice thick chain. Also a disc lock can come in useful but i would never leave my bike unchained, not even for 5 minutes. The handling is fantastic, however cornering at low speeds is difficult. ...
...you may find it difficult to master the U-turn needed for the full bike test. The braking is also really responsive. I find the bike very easy to ride and I have used other similar bikes with only the CBR coming close with regards to comfort of riding and handling. Its great fun to ride, weaving through traffic and the responsive throttle and brakes make it a joy even to go to work. The fact that you can ride one of these at 17 brilliant however ...

Review of Honda NSR125

...Now we come to the Honda NSR125R this bike is not as fast/light or (in more conflicting terms) attractive/exciting as the rs/mito, BUT in the NSR's side its secret weapon is that they are more reliable than Big Ben, plus have the benefit of comfy(er) travel for both rider and pillion. Choosing the NSR This is what in the end tilted my choice, as i cant afford to be repairing it every couple of months, this and the fact that i found it to be the ...
...keep up after that. The best things about this bike are that, you can take pillions alot easier with the help of a big seat, grab rail and its low down power which helps alot with puling away with more weight on the little bike. Its economical, reports of up to 70 miles per gallon are not uncommon, if something does go wrong, its a honda, so getting hold of parts takes no time at all and at moderate prices. First impressions. When you first see ...

Review of Honda NSR125

CBT Okay, I did my CBT back in June after being obsessed with getting a bike for a year. Not too expensive... generally between 70 and 100 pounds. Easy peezey but take my advice if you can't get to grips with the gears off road don't worry. Ask if you can do the on road on a moped. They're much easier to ride and still entitle you to ride up to a 125 cc on the road for two years on L plates. Then get your bike and practise on a car park with out ...
...I knew what bike I wanted pretty much as soon as I saw it earlier in the year. Shop around and you'll find a good deal. They don't make this bike brand new anymore, which is disappointing but if you look in Auto trader and your local papers you will find something. The NSR is better looking (and bigger) than the Aprilla rs but is slightly slower (Not so you'd be disappointed). I really don't think the Mito is a patch on either bike. (he new Yamaha ...

Review of Honda NSR125

...Yet this might seem impossible, Honda have come to the rescue yet again with another fabulously built, desirable, practical and reliable bike. Honda are famous for building high performance but reliable engines, and the Honda NSR125R is no exception. This little beast can reach excess speeds of 100mph. Thats faster than a 17-year olds 1.2 Nova! So if you are thinkin of buying a Sports 125, don't sit their reading reviews, contact your local Honda ...
...Engine - The Japanesse, water cooled, single cyclinder, 2-stroke engine can pump out upto 27bhp, moving it from 0-60 in just under 6 seconds. Though acceleration is remarkable, it lakes mid-range talk, moving from 30-60 in top gear can take a very long time. This can be vital for open roads and motorway riding. Chassis - The aluminumn chassis, very similar to its bigger brother, the CBR600F Sport produces remarkable handling around town, the countryside ...

...one of which was the Honda NSR 125. This truly is a great bike for new riders as it has quite a comfortable ride and has extremely forgiving handling. Though it looks like quite a large bike for 125cc's, it is nimble and filters through traffic well. I have had no reliability problems and even in winter, the engine starts fine. It's really cheap to run; I've been getting about 65 miles per gallon out of it. If I had to find faults I would say ...

I have a Honda NSR- F 125 1993 Its still immense, its far more powerful than any other 125 i have met, i brought it for 600 and havnt had any problems ( until i crashed it ) Mine is a completly derestricted italian import and runs on about 28 brake if you find a long enough road then it will do 85 not even in top gear , i havnt had the chance to use the top gear as the road im riding on keeps ending ... the riding position of the bike is at first ...
...i still find it reletivly comfy .. The power band of the bike is at roughly 7500RPM when you hit this the bike will literally lift up rev it through to about 9700RPM then shift up, this way you will get the maximum power from the bike . i do 20 miles a day and a full tank will last about 6 days and costs roughly 8 quid bad points ...
