A new Nsr will cost arround £3750 pounds, my advice is that it is a lot of money to spend on a first bike, buy second hand for your first bike for many reasons..first bike, you dont know if you will like bikes or gears, I bought a Nsr 2001 for £2400 with only 2700 miles on the clock... fantastic condition with a stunning Repsol paint job... a reason I tell you this is that I´m ready to buy my nest bike after only 4 weeks of having the Honda because I´ve got the bike bug big time... by the way the Nsr is a fantastic way to get into biking, very very safe strong frame, looks fantastic, the whole bike is bullet proof as no one makes bikes like Honda do, handling and breaks are more than enough for what this bike needs, and finaly compare bikes like the Aprlia and Cagiva theres no contest my mate used to sell bikes for a living and they both blow gears and sease up very easily and always need repair and at a high cost...so yes Honda Nsr 125cc is the best 125cc sports bike to get into my friend...good riding...anyone would like to know about Nsr I´m at robtomski@hotmail.com
