Just wondering if anybody can recomend any books that cover the NSR's history or is there any information books available in English (preferably) or Japanese.
Thanks BOSOZOKU

gunna go out on a limb here and say ya best bet is poob to have a read through this site

I don't know any books on roadgoing NSRs, but I have a book about all the racing Hondas, that is very interesting.

Also a very good book about 2-stroke technic and tuning, even if I don't do any tuning, the theory behind it is fascinating. After all its about 2-strokes.

I can't give you the titles just now, as I'm 5 days away from home.

Hi Fenton i already have that pocket book ive also just ordered this

http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1861260733/ref=sib_dp_pt/002-1877134-5762427#reader-link

I just wondered if there were any more informative books with how ,Why and when development was started what were the project goals ,who was in charge of the project ?.
Also any information on why it evolved the way it did.Why no V4 500cc derivative like the YAM's & SUZUKI (I know they did the V3 NS400 but it's not an NSR and it predates it by quite a few years also the suzuki was'nt a V4 it was a square 4)

I would be interested in a book with all the colour schemes in dateing the years/V.I.N # for each model derivative.
I have seen a few books for other makes and models of bikes but never any for the NSR ,There is even a book on the V4 4stroke engine which go'es into quite a lot of detail about it's evolution.
Im sure somebody can help me out here or is it that no such book exist's

You need the "Honda NSR250R Style Book". A must for any NSR owner.

Mine's in the cupboard and nobody's allowed to touch it for fear of tearing or crumpling a page.

I was lucky that the editor was a friend of my boss at Harc-Pro so I was able to get a copy even though it's discontinued.

It's the best!!

Hi Matt
Thanks for that ,Is the book in japanese then ?
Also could you please give me the ISBN number from it so that i might be able to track one down

Thanks again BOSOZOKU
