Grace (BikeHedonia) Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Come on, show me your two stroke road bikes. Does anyone still have one?? I just dropped $180 on an NSR150RR. It needs some TLC (read, total restoration) but it's going to be a cracker. Can I hit 180kph with $180? A question which remains to be answered. Anyway if you know anything about NSRs please say hi, I'm going to need to crowd source plenty of advice on this restoration journey... 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace (BikeHedonia) Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Knee deep in covid. Land borders still closed, Laos and Cambo still closed. Thailand "opened" to visitors by air as of today. I still can't get to my KTM so I'm playing with two strokes in the meantime... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have bought an NSR the moment I arrived but I wasted about a year thinking that the pandemic would be over soon and I'd be back on the Kato in Cambodia. Haha well. We live and learn.

Why is this all memories? Are you guys still allowed to run two-strokes in the UK/europe as long as they're vintage? I realise they would heartily fail all emissions standards 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace (BikeHedonia) Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Although I remember being told a story of new two stroke imports being banned in NSW decades ago because the power to weight ratio on this particular model was too crazy and too many young men were obliterating themselves. The model was just referred to as 'the widow maker' by the story teller.... I would like to know what model that actually was and if the story is true 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
