nsr250 was my first proper bike. nothing ever came past it through the twisies.
I remember my father in law laughing at the sound (clearly not a 2 stroke lover) and saying it'll never stay with his gsxr.
hit some bends and didn't see him till I pulled over again.
awesome video 👍
Thanks , yeah I guess some people don’t appreciate the sound but I think they sound awesome… but they appreciate how good they are down the twisty roads though when they come across them while out riding :)
One of my dream bike's, and unfortunately not very many made it to the state's. I had several Yamaha 2 stroke street bike's as a kid, first was the RD400, and 5 RZ350'S. What great memories they created...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Yeah I would love one too, was one of my dream bikes too , the rz350 (rd350 over here) are still fun to ride now and have great memories myself about them, done a video on one last year :)
@@ProjectMoto if I was rich I'd build the ultimate RZ350 [RD350LC] for you guy's. I'd either find a FZR400 frame or use the factory one depending on performance. Then I'd get one of those big Trinity engine's and wheelie my way into old age!...lol... I really liked the frame stiffness of the RZ's over the air cooled RD400 that I had. It's been so many years that can't tell you which one's I had more fun on. They are all glorious in my memories! I became disabled in 2003 from a workplace injury. But I can't bring myself to sell the projects I was building at the time. I have a 1975 Suzuki RE5 that I was building for the Bonneville salt 🧂 Flats by adding a turbo, an old Honda 305 Dream, a Kawasaki Bighorn 350 that was my flattracker year's ago. Stay safe from the woo-flu, and God bless you 🙏 and yours...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
@@ProjectMoto I always wanted to ride a Gamma 500, RZ(RD)500, and a nsr500, I've never seen a Kawi 500. But I'd love a crack on that if it was ever built. I'm not completely in a 🦽 yet but it's coming faster than I'd like. I can't mechanic any more, and my boy's aren't interested in speed. My grandson is 1yr old and seems like a little dare devil, so maybe it skips a generation 🤔..lol. ...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
@@billallen4793 what great memories a 2 stroke brings back and the feeling they give you to want to do a project, mate I’m sure the Ultimate RZ350 would be awesome .. hey and even if not for us I’m sure your grandson would love it.. when he gets a bit older of course 😂 yeh the RG and RD 500 we’re such cool bikes, be cool to have the 500 engine In a RGV 250 chassis , would love to ride one , stay safe out there in Wyoming :)
Nah, we want X7 vs RD250LC surely
Made me feel 18 again 😫 love the sound of a 2 stoke and miss the smell . Great video
Yeah same here mate, love it , thanks , glad you enjoyed it.. I did :)
I wrote off my VJ22 RGV250P and bought a black and silver one of these around 94, i had it for about a month and was really disappointed with it. I was expecting it would have the violent RGV powerband and it just didn’t. The power curve was way more linear on the MC21 and I was disappointed. I then traded it in on a brand new MC28 NSR250SP Repsol expecting a massive jump and again , was just disappointed ultimately but since it was so stunning I kept it for 3 years. Talking to a bunch of people everyone commented that that was always the difference between the Honda and the Suzuki, the power band. Both the Honda’s did have a noticeable availability of more torque at low revs , that much was obvious but neither were as fun as a RGV. Sadly i never got an HRC PGM card for the MC28 where i was told massively changed the power curve making it more like the RGV power delivery but Ill never know as the Honda distributor was not allowed to sell them for Rd registered bikes, im told, and i couldn’t find anywhere to sell me one out of Japan, keep in mind this was mid 90s so no internet like we know today to find anything globally was also told the HRC cards only worked with the HRC wiring loom which had no provisions for indicators and lights etc, still, Id loved to have tried the 70+bhp NSR fully unlocked though ..
Very interesting and cool to read mate, Yeah they are not like the RGV , I always wanted an MC28 but like you say would be amazing to have a full power one .. I’ve been looking at a few NSR recently as I have an RGV and a KR1S at the moment, just think it will go well with them
@ProjectMoto here in New Zealand we don't see many 250 2strokes at all now. Last one I saw was about 18 months ago, a mint vj22 RGV250N with the cool squiggly blue n pink decals, it sold for around $20k .. so around £10k !!
I'd love to revist those day again but Beer has not been kind to my now rotund physique the last 25 years so I feel no 2 strokes these days will like me and give it up.
ZX10's are my girlfriends now, on occasion I'll throw my leg over a German too. 😉
@@ProjectMoto MC21, not Mc18
@ProjectMoto mate, if I could build a collection again, a fully unlocked MC28 NSR, a VJ23 RGV lucky strike SP .. I'd be an English man eating a Pork Pie with Chicken Tikka for desert waiting !
i searched for the mc28 and this video played right after it. i feel like for most folks the 21 is much saner lol. i get what you're saying and all, and dont disagree, but most people would massively underestimage the 28 and die horrendously and we all know it LOLOL
Some could argue 70's are the best era. I would agree as I'm an old bugger. RD250
Ha yeah , I just love a 2 stroke , the 90’s ones handle a little better though 😂
Love how those passenger foot pegs fold out of the way completely. First time I have ever seen that.
Yeah such a cool little feature on these , nice bit of design :)
Happy memories of my 89 MC21. Mine was jittery when ridden slow, that was my excuse to give it full beans!
Ha that’s great .. yeah you have to ride them a bit different to most bikes to get the best out of them.. up in the revs !!
That sound!! I’ve not heard that since I was 19 and I’m now 47. This bike scared me back then. When you hit the power band 😁
Ha great .. yeah I just turned 49 .. we must have had and see the same kind of bikes, still love a 250cc 2 stroke all these years later , awesome bike :)
What a machine... and in that condition. Brilliant!
Yeah just awesome to see one again and actually get to ride it, what a bike :)
Beautiful! I had a load of strokers over the years starting with an RD250E, RD400E, 350L/C ,350 YPVS, RG500, TZR250, RGV250M, NSR250MC28 and finally an Aprilia RS250 Biaggi replica, I ride a street triple RS these days but still miss the sound ,smell and power bands of the strokers, if I catch a whiff of two stroke now it takes me back to my youth.
Yeah such a shame they ain’t all being made now, but they are still so good today , started on 2 strokes myself and still love them today , just awesome in the powerband , light and handle so good , would love one myself :)
thats the sweetest sounding engine of all the vids you've done in the series - just Pukka
Definitely mate.. for me 90’s 250cc 2stroke are just the best , sound , smell, riding, looks.. love em :)
It hurts to know you will never look at me the way you look at that Honda 🤣😂 - nice to see more of Tyrone and Liam too 🤗 xx
Ha … you know that’s not true.. it’s a Honda.. 😂 now If it was a Kawasaki or a Suzuki then yeah there’s a definite love problem I have for them .. ha Tyler,Tyreese, Tyrone .. he’s got a some names that boy 😂
Thanks for bringing the memories back Martin.. my 1974 RD250 running Castrol R.. Sod emissions, bring them back & make it compulsory for new riders to run one for a year , nothing like them to learn road craft as we did back in the day. Cheers mate
Thanks , hey that’s great that it brought back some memories for you, was so good for me to get to see and have a go of this, yeah you can learn so much about riding with a 2 strokes.. 125’s, 250’s etc and when you do find limits (or beyond them 😂) your not got to fast.. but they certainly feel fast when your on them
Great Video! Think we all wish we had a crystal ball 30 years ago we would have cherished & kept this type of bike! I have a 94 Triumph Daytona Super 3 which i know is very different to this but growing in value every year!
Thanks , appreciate it, yeah would nice , if I had all the 250’s I used to have now I’d be laughing.. well actually I’d have a big pile of scrap probably 😂😂
Two strokes forever young... Nice bike, Stef from France.
Yeah they take you back to being a teenager every time, awesome 😎 thanks :)
my first street bike was a yamaha R5 350 i couldn't get the motor to run. my brother in law had a rd350 a friend left in his garage he sold it to me for $50 i drove the tires off that bike i loved it
Awesome .. $50 !! Wish I could buy one for that now !
Never had the pleasure of riding a 2 stroke street bike, couldn't afford one back in the 90s. Would be fun to ride one even today though.
Yeah they are still so cool , was very lucky to get a ride on this, was awesome 😎
brilliant ,, i had the KR1 as well before getting an FZR400RR great stuff miss those days for sure as you said shame prices are stupid now id love an NSR or gull arm RGV in the shed
Thanks, oh cool I do love a 90’s 250 2strokes ,I also had 400 4stokes ,I had a ZXR400 and a GSXR400 import briefly too, also used a FZR400RRSP on a race school once, good little bikes, would love a 250 now myself but like you say the prices have gone up now… but they are good :)
Flipping love it well done. Many people missed the two stroke age. Not me still love my Yam 200 electric
Thanks , talk to people now who have never rode a 2 stroke , shame , everyone should experience it
Brilliant video loved that man!!!!!
Thanks , really appreciate it , what a bike :)
Had an rgv 250 gamma back in 1998 was a weapon ...cool video 👍👍
Yeah another great bike , just love a 2 stroke , thanks , appreciate it :)
@@ProjectMoto no problem 👍👍
Never swung a leg over an nsr. In canada we got nsr 400's . I opted for the rg 500. Buddy I knew with the 400 died on it sadly before we could switch up.
Mate that’s sad about your mate .. and never getting to ride one.. the RG 500 was awesome , by the time the NSR’s came around they had sorted out handling, brakes , styling etc a lot better
quality video well done,keep them coming.
Thanks , glad you enjoyed it, appreciate it :)
the NSR250R is my dream bike they are very rare in the states tho if I could even just ride one it would make my day but most of these classic bikes are passed up for the newer ones and are taken less care off
They are so cool, love a 250cc 2stroke , I have an RGV250 that we are currently doing some build videos on and I have KR1S, the main problem I guess with these older 2 stroke they were owned by mainly teenagers as their first bike and thrashed them around a lot
Dude Nsr250 great bike proper lil racer would keep up with larger bikes through bendy roads as you could throw it around corners knowing your going to come out the other side great colour schemes exactly the same as the gp racers
Yeah these are proper little pocket rockets , handling is crazy good and just look so cool
Another great video, and what a bike!! Missed the kitchen tea chat, here's hoping for a double helping next time :-D
Thanks, yeah really enjoyed riding this bike, don’t worry there will be more tea talk :)
just falls into the corners so well, just need a packet of Embassy number 6, woopecker and rope swing in the woods
Ha yeah for sure 😂
You do know how to ride and appreciate an NSR, cool video m8.
Proud owner of various NSRs since 1995
Thanks , appreciate it , it’s Sysco a cool bike, just love 2 strokes .. especially 90’s 250’s , very jealous if you’ve had a few of these
@@ProjectMoto I've enjoyed the video keep it up buddy 👍🏻
You said something that's so true.. I bought an 88 around 1995 when I was 17 and it just stucked inside me.
No matter how fast the tech was moving forward I was keep going back to my youth's bike to get that same feeling again..
I had connected the Nsr with so many good memories and if you believe that a good memory has a certain good feeling attached to it, here you are, at 44 still riding various NSRs like a junkie.
Keep it up m8
hah i was searching for the version of this that starts with a credit card type reader rather than a key, and this video played directly after the one i had found that was what i was looking for.... why is that funny? i literally lit a lucky strike cigarette right as this video started LOL!!!
yeah I would really like one of those nsr250’s with the card reader.. ha that is so cool , I need to get some Lucky Strike cigarettes to go with my RGV250 that we done the build series on
@@ProjectMoto shes gorgeous man, i hope you never stop.
Lovely machine! I had the rgv lucky strike too. Sold it for 650 quid 20 years ago. I’m such a twat for letting it go.
Mate if we knew then what they would be worth now .. unfortunately my lucky strike RGV I crashed and wrote it off
Plenty of "muppets" this time - well done! Reminds me of my GT250X7 I had as a yoof, tear-arsing around the countryside of Hertfordshire - 'appy dayz!
Yeah they do bring back some good memories, ha what with the request we couldn’t leave out the muppets :)
I love this bike ,,wow my dream bike♥️
Yeah they are so good , love a 250 2 stroke , so cool 😎
nice video sir.. I used to own one the 88 model nsr... back in 2010... then aftr 2 yrs sold it... watching here in the Philippines...
Thanks , glad you enjoyed it , cool , do you wish you still had it now ? I think I will get an NSR my self at one point to go with my RGV and KR1S
Loved that bike mate. I’m 48 and never had a bike but the one I always wanted was a Ducati 748 think that’s what it was called. Love to see you try one now. 👍👍I had brain surgery 3 year ago and lost everything.
Yeah it’s an awesome bike, i actually rose a couple of 748r’s recently, they are still a great bike, next time we’ve got one il do a video , mate sorry to hear that, hope yr doing ok now 💪
Just found a J21 Pepsi 250 in a small shop near my home for about ¥2,000,000 here in Tokyo, which is about $15,000. It is partially disassembled while they search for a few small parts to get it running again, but if my bank account could take that hit then I would definitely buy it.
Awesome , mate I see 250cc 2 stroke bikes for sale here and am like ‘ I want that’ all the time , such cool bikes
Hello you muppet's and welcome to Project Moto, Mega! 🤣Mint as always lad's
Ha we got the Muppet In there 😂😂 thanks :)
gorgeous bike for sure...
Yeah, still so good today , awesome bike :)
First bike I ever got pulled over by the popo on. I was 16, no helmet, no riding gear and only had a Learner licence. He made me push it back home (about 7km) and told me if he saw me riding it he’d kick my arse and tell my dad. It was a long walk 😂😂
Haha , awesome , sounds like a normal teenage evening 😂😂 funny looking back on things we used to do … ha kick your arse and tell your dad 😂😂
Used to have a Cbr400rr looks exactly the same was a great bike.
Yeah another great little Japanese import , I had one of them too for a brief time, had a ZXR400 too , really good little bike to throw around the twisty roads :)
Nice video looking forward to getting my Aprilla RS 250 out this summer after a project to get it back to road spec , nice demo ride sound 😅
Nice , Yeah I love a 90’s 250 2 stroke , I currently doing an RGV250 on my channel as well
What a bike & what an opportunity to bring back all your memories of riding two strokes like this & like me I had a KR1 wished I'd never sold it & today's prices absolutely bonkers? 😭 Great video Fella!! 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks , yeah was great to have a ride of one again, just takes you right back ,and yeah the prices are high compared to what we bought them for back then, would love to have some of my old bikes now :)
@@ProjectMoto Yeah me too m8 wished I kept every two stroke I owned!! 🥺 As back then who would ever have thought that they wouldn't make two strokes ever again well like what we owned anyway I know things move on but there must be a way to bring them back would be a dream!! ☺️👍🏻
I just wish all my bikes weren't stolen .... aaah, the 90's
@@davelawrence594There is one in the pipeline... electronic oil pump... meets regulations..
Let us pray the technology filters down to road bikes again
@@greatestytcommentator I seriously don't care how they do it but please please let's bring back the two strokes!! 🙏🏻😁
My dream bike with the Rothman Honda livery
Yeah what an awesome bike.. the Rothmans colours looked so cool 😎
Nice vid mate👌🏻👍🏻, i still got my last 2'ey in the shed, mc28 with a HRC card.... after this im thinking it might be time for a ground up rebuild.
i miss the sound/smell and power band.... from my first "81" RG pepsi to my "91" lucky strike and the "95"mc28.
Thanks , mate that’s awesome , will definitely be worth doing , I’ve got an RGV250 vj22 that’s having loads done on it , we just started the videos on that .. and I’ve just got a KR1S that’s all been restored which we will have some videos on.. I love a 2 stroke :)
such as beauty bike ever made
Yeah they are gorgeous.. I really want a NSR250 mc28 :)
Got blown away by an RG250 on my ZX9R what an era
Yeah I can believe it , they are great down the twisty roads
I always wanted to ride a rs 250
Yeah I have rode a few of them a while ago, they are very good bikes
Ooo memories… had an sp with dry clutch, mag wheels and partly hrc kitted. Why on earth did I part from that…. Stupid. Haven’t seen one up for sale in ages…
Nice mate , yeah bet you wish you still had it now, wish I still had a few of my 250 2strokes now
I had an RGV250 genuine Lucky Strike. Think it was N reg.
Anyway, I swapped it for a Vauxhall Carlton 1.8
Dumbest thing I've ever done 😢😢😢
Very nice … but unfortunate about the Vauxhall Carlton, but if it was what you wanted then it was a good thing , maybe not now , would love to have one again now :)
Lovely
yeah they are so cool
so beautifui MC21!!
Yeah what a gorgeous looking bike, still looks so good today after all these years 😎
Nice bike🏆🏆🏆
They are so awesome 😎
Best 2 stroke 250 ever!
Yeah they are so nice , the mc28 with the single sided swingarm was cool but I do like the look of the gull arm swingarm on this one though
One came forsale here in my town. Just came in from Japan
Cool , they are great little bikes if you like bikes like these 250cc 2 strokes.. I’d like an NSR250 MC28.. but they are a lot of money now
Beautiful bike and great fun as always 👍😂
Yeah really enjoyed this one.. he’s gonna bring it back on a better day and let me have another go, looking forward to it ,thanks :)

Ye its a scam

I'm actually 5 foot lol😂 and found one here in America for around 7000 dollars was thinking about getting
Awesome , you should be fine on one of these 90’s 2 strokes, go and have a look and sit on it and see … did you get it yet
“Makes me feel like I’m 17 again”.
Always does when I ride or even see or hear a 90’s 250 2stroke , love em 😎
My mate had one..loved it..used to suck the guts outta ya when u set off...awesome days
Yeah what an awesome bike, love a 250cc 2stroke.. everyone should have a ride on one at some point :)
How did it compare to the CBR250RR of the same year?
There’s not much that’s the same really, the NSR is a 2 stroke engine so about 55bhp / 135kgs dry weight I guess, the CBR 250 is a 4 stroke engine, so about 24bhp and they were about 150kgs dry weight from what I remember , so a big difference in performance… for the NSR 250cc 2stroke to be similar in speed it would need to go up against the CBR 400 or other 400’s of the time ZXR,VFR,GSXR etc…
I have the same bike 👊✊️✊️
Awesome , very jealous, would love one myself :)
@@ProjectMoto been told they are worth around £10,000 now 😳
Hi! 👋
What do you mean by "always cover the clutch with a 2 stroke"? As opposed to a 4?
How come?
Thanks! 👍
Back in the day they was sometimes prone seizing so you would cover the clutch to pull the clutch lever in , I blew a couple up myself back in the day, but tbh I used to use mine all the time throughout the year so didn’t have too many problems, you just have to look after them and ride them a little different to a 4 stroke engine
@@ProjectMoto
OK, I see yeah. Thanks! Nice vid! 👍
What makes you say you've gotta cover the clutch because it's a 2 stroke? Btw there's some hot rz350 action on my channel if you like 2 strokes.
Just in case it ceases
my dads mate still has an rg250 vj21 a vj22 a yamaha rd 750 and a couple of other 2 strokes i haven't seen cuz he has over 70 bikes
i almost bought his second vj22 but my dad wouldnt let me cuz he said it would kill me
i learned driving 2 stroke mopeds did over 65 mph on a 60kg vespa bravo before i bought a aprillia rs 125 which i crashed :(
Man over 70 bikes that sounds like an awesome collection … 250’s are a little lively and the way you ride them they are a little prone to the odd crash , I know 😂😂 but like the RS125 .. you end up riding them a little hard of the road so mistakes can happen mate unfortunately
Dear Santa...
Ha your writing the same letter as me I’m guessing 😂😂
Bet that'd smoke a CBR/GSXR 1000 like a cheap cigar.
These 250cc 2 strokes are crazy round the twisty roads and small tracks.. they surprise a lot of bigger bikes.. and just so cool 😎
Why i can barely understand what is the man saying? Is it some kind of deciphered language?
Stick around and watch more videos.. your pick up a new language.. maybe :)
Look at that beautiful Honda NSR250 amongst those ugly Ducati's. Hahaha.
Well I don’t know if the Ducati’s are ugly … But I do love a 90’s 250 2 stroke 😎
This is the Subaru Impreza vs the Misti Lancer, the Subaru (RGV) is the more reliable one, but the Lancer (NSR) is the much better one
Yeah so many examples of things like that .. I did love my RGV’s .. never got to own one of these though , they are so cool 😎
If only it was called the NSR250r Gull Arm, but it's not. Its just an NSR250r. Doesn't sound a sexy but hey, at least it's not a made up name.
Yeah it’s an NSR250R … with the ‘Gull Arm’ swingarm , there’s no made up name ,just the type of swing arm on that model
no its not, RGV is a dam hand grenade. TZR better in every way
No it’s not what? All My RGV’s were ok , TZR’s are nice for sure
