A bit of a monster, but would look soooo much better with the standard bodywork, NSR's with tyga style bodwork look like your trying to make a 60 year old tart look 21 again, that pointy nosecone and seat unit just dont suit NSR's, in my opinion. _________________ Proud Father of , 05 ktm 400exc supermoto 2018 honda crf rx supermoto

I thought it was just me who thought that ^^ and hadn’t ventured an opinion on the bodywork, Opinions are after all like ‘arse holes …. Everyone’s got one’
clearly it’s not my build but I too would have stuck with the standard bodywork, but I guess if you gave 10 people with identical skillsets the same project and same budget you’d get 10 very different results and we be discussing the merits of each one and then everyone would still be mentally building #11 🤦♂️
Cool bike never the less and fair play to him for getting it over the finishing line ….and then some _________________ Nick
Had seen this before. Very trick. Not sure about that 109kg claim though. My stripped MC28SP race bike weighs in at about 120kg. Helium in the tires?? _________________ MC28SP, '16 KTM 500EXC, '16 Beta Xtrainer, '07 BMW 1200GS, '96 Ducati 900SS

I think 120kg is very good, Scott. I seem to recall the lightest I've heard of was Matt's racer at about 115kg. I'll see him this evening, so I'll ask before we've sunk too much rum, as you know first-hand what happens after that! 🤣🤣🤣 StephenRC45 got his F3 down to about the same too, but with a sh*t load of titanium, which would've been against F3 rules back in the day though.
I think the MC21 is generally about 1.5kg lighter than an MC28 "like-for-like", with the biggest difference the MC28SP rear Magtek (front's obviously an easy swap to an NF5 mag wheel) and the big lump of steel making up the axle. Some of that can naturally be mitigated with a magnesium NX5 rear wheel. (You can loose some sneaky weight using RS forks/components too, but will lose the MC28SP "blue top" appearance that most like to keep.)
As Si says, the 350LC motors are pretty heavy. I don't know exacly how heavy, but I bet they're getting on for 5-6kg more than an NSR; which is a lot of additional weight to get rid of over a conventional MC28. I think the RD bottom-end alone weighs about the same as a complete NSR motor. There will be a (usually steel) cradle to add to that too. In itself not particularly heavy, but it all adds up.
Unfortunately we're our own worst enemy here sometimes, as many of these owners know and use NSR-WORLD and follow on Facebook, but won't post here as collectively we know too much... and I've got a big gob, and will call them out on BS! They'll post/write elsewhere though, where the muppets will just lap it up without question! 🤣🤣🤣 _________________ Andy.
