This post must be a blast from the past for some long time forum members. Interesting subject though.

I first saw a NSR in a 1992 issue of PB, group test of a 21SP Cabin, TZR250, CBR & GSXR 400. PB managed to bin the NSR, tester Simon Hargreaves trying to get his elbow down. The TZR didn't fare much better, the crankcase disintigrated around the kick-start lever Shocked

I was running a RGV 250 at the time, and thinking how much tricker the NSR looked. Japan market exotica. Then I got to the back page of the mag, and they had a Grey Bike feature with pics from the 92 Tokyo Bike Show.

I was in awe of the MC21SP Rothmans, described by PB as 'just like Cadalora's with lights'. Back then I was watching every GP race, seeing Cadalora on his factory Rothmans NSR fairing bashing with Bradl on his factory HB NSR. Great racing. That Rothmans 21 Rep just seemed mega to me.

At the time, I never thought I'd actually own one someday.
