no worries glad it went to a good home .

heres my story.
The first time i saw an NSR that i remember was when my mate first got his MC18, the later black and grey one wasnt really into strokers that much at the time was to scared of them blowing up!!! after seizing my RD125LC twice (how little i knew) and i had just bought my GSXR400 GK73 this would have been around spring 96.
sold the GSXR went bumming around India and Thailand for a year then came back and bought a 99 ZX6R by this time my mate with his RGV had moved onto a ZX6 and my mate with the MC18 had moved onto a GSXR600 and Fontyyy had sold his RS125 and bought a NC29.
i had only had the 600 for about a year and i wanted something different didnt want a big bike, didnt want a 400 so went on a search for an NSR all i knew at the time was there was 3 models (i know there is more but...) so sat down at work for a couple of hours ringing bike shops...the cupbord was bare until i found a bike shop ( i later found out they have a reputation for being dodgy )in Derby with a MC21R in red and white and what a beauty, apart from it didnt start or pull away properly but i didnt care i was blinded by the sexyness of the little minx .
this ended up being the start of my troubles with NSR cranks, firstly having it rebuilt and eventually a new crank 1 month befor selling it DOH!!!!!.
This is the bike i loved until my 21SP came up on e-bay and i won it with a single bid of £1500, i think this was the NSR gods way of saying sorry for all the previous crank problems i had with my old R there you have it....if you want my SP you will have to prise it from my cold dead fingers cos its mine ya hear MMWWOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
