Always a favorite here on RSBFS, here is 1998 NSR 250 in good but not pristine condition. The location is California which likely means this is an import from Japan but the seller indicates it is de-restricted model and that the bike has a US title..
1988 Honda NSR 250R on ebay
For a lot of current riders two stroke racers were before their time, with the last readily available model for US riders being the Aprilia 250 of the early 2000's. Surviving models are quite common in Japan but not so much in the USA, which means that they can be imported from Japan in rather rough condition. This particular NSR250R isn't perfect, with some minor paint shedding on the fairing mount bracket, a clouded windscreen and some paint issues on the riders right side. But given that this bike is closing in on 30 years old it looks like a very solid example.
Mileage is listed at about 7500 miles and the seller indicates some recent service but service history isn't as complete as I would like. Tire age would need to be considered as well but overall condition looks to be really good.
Is this 1988 NSR worth the $5,500 asking price? I truly don't know: the last couple of these we posted had went for between 6000 and 7000 usd but my personal sportbike knowledge started after these came out and from what I have read getting parts for these can be quite problematic. Also the lack of service history on this one is a bit concerning but the seller does indicate fresh fluids and that it is de-restricted ...I think this one will be of interest to someone who could go take a look at it closeup.
