Thanks Jon , if I'm able to get 70 - 72 bhp at the rear wheel from this Honda NSR 250cc SP with the SS Tyga then will be really happy :smt004
If you remember a video I had posted some time ago a NSR 250cc MC18 1988 was able to keep up with my yellow RZ 350 at road race we had ,
the RZ was in front but he gained on me at 210 kilometers +++ should have been due to the aerodynamics :smt033 .

Now I will focus on the Ninza GPZ 1000 RX , will attempt to make her like new !!!!!!
Does not need much , but will change alot in new parts........

Your 421 naked with the bannana swing arm is still one of my favourite rz's. I've got 10 or so bikes and i'm about to pull the trigger on a new r1. Being 48 it may be my last all fast bike and used mainly at the track.. My rz will still be my street bike, lots of fun and keeps you from riding stupid speeds on the rode. you need another rz mate.

Beautiful mc18! Love the Terra racing livery.

What are you doing to get to the 70-72 hp?
De-restricted, I understand a healthy motor makes about 65ish hp, but takes alot more money thrown at it to get those extra ponies.

66 - 68 bhp they make stock with a good fresh engine speaking for the 1989 MC18 edition.
for info the 1989 NSR offers the best offset geometry frame for handling. For this reason they come really rare to find.

To sum , Fresh motor with all new components from pistons / rings up to the last seal + included nicasil into specs ,
de resticted electrics , tyga SS exhausts , good jetting , magtek ( magnisium light wheels for the SP edition )
should get me somewhere near to 70ish BHP.
Will test also back to back Tyga SS vs JHA exhausts and make a comparision on the dyno once engine broken in.
They say the JHA perform better :smt003 we'll see about that if true.

Well time goes by and I've decided to move on.
GSXR 1000 sold , now located in Cyprus damn fast bike that was loved it , Aprilia RSV-4 2010 sold to local Aprilia dealer ,
Cagiva Mito 125 for sale at same dealer .....

So after huge thought and searching around , I've decided to give it a go for one of the 2016 liter bikes which are stated to produce 200bhp ,
let's see how these modern bikes perform , I've watch maybe all youtube videos , reviews , tests etc.....
I've ended up between three candidates
R1 M , ZX-10 winter edition , RSV-4 RF.

Has any one seen this ???
Aprilia's V4-MP app (available with iPhone or Android) allows you to program the settings for aTC and aWC so that the bike adjust settings for those systems corner by corner. Notice that in the next sector, wheelie control and traction control will both be reduced.

Not bad , 189,5 bhp at the rear wheel and with full system acrapovic and race ecu open 201bhp :smt026 :smt026 :smt026 thats what I'm after :smt022 ....ohlins front back , full electrics traction control , wheely control , launch control , brake engine control , what the fuck [smilie=boff.gif]

1.) Oh the old stealthbomber ZX! , I had a friend whom had one exactly like that only he had a 4-1 Yoshimura system on it, still provide awesome straightline speed today.
2.)On your MC-18.. Im sure you know about TYGAs 300cc conversion. http://tyga-performance.com/site/produc ... c65992f39e" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; A solid 10h.p. gain..(everywhere.) Thats MASSIVE on a 250. A dude I knew had one fitted and it easily blew the sidecovers off his old RZ500 all the wsy up to about 125mph. And I beleive its reversible back to stock as its alternate cylinders!
3.) The RSV4 is one of only 3 liter bikes I'd ever consider, as Yam Suz & Honda Kawasaki all look like clones..ZZzzzz. The RSV4 has some originality "character"to it. Only the KTM and BMWs impressive wunderbike.
Im still "old school" I'm quite certain I will never buy a "new" superbike again, Im still forever sold on the 80s - 90s bikes..too much fun plus I can work on them..lol
But that RSV4 is certainlly the top of a imaginary list and without doubt "Italian"!... sexy as fuck!
Banshee (Baja) race bike,+ 2 A Arms,L.E.Ds, Toomey, +4 stroker IMS tank, run flats.
96 GSXR SRAD, Future Yoshimura rep.
85 custom Tri-Z

86 VFR750 RC24 Merkel replica (project)
Royal Enfield Bullet 500
