NSR's are one of those classics that are rare enough to be going up in value

just make sure the resto is top notch and you should get your money back.

I'm not really planning on selling it once it's done.......nice RGV250 front end, uprated brakes, wheels, fairing etc.....

Lusted after one of those as a teenager ...I had the NS125F...natural progression was the NS400 but didn't have the cash......I bought a tatty VF400F instead.

Have you looked at the pics? Looking foward to modernising it somewhat.
Cost / valuation of original boxes of bits was FA so nowhere to drop to.
Second op on leg stops play but engine is getting there......

 

[craig614]

Yep, it's been years in the making. Several ups and downs but getting there. The bodywork will be a min-project in itself.
Short clip from the dyno run today......
