Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA NSR250R" custom by Webike community user "kiyo". This NSR features a water-cooled, 2-stroke, 2-cylinder engine with a 90° bank angle mounted on a lightweight chassis. The owner purchased this bike in 2010, more than 20 years after its release, and has been customizing it ever since. The exhaust system is a combination of Jha chambers and T2 racing titanium silencers. Since the bike is lightweight (152 kg), it often swings when riding over gaps, so NHK steering damper kit was installed. For the suspension, performance parts such as forged aluminum wheels by Gale Speed and T2 Racing axle shafts were installed to reduce weight and improve handling stability. The bike has also been customized in many other ways that are too numerous to mention. Rather than hard customization, it might be better described as what a real "road replica" should be. Literally a tribute to that bygone era of two-stroke sports motorcycles, with its characteristic smell, sound and exhilarating acceleration.
