Honda NSR 50cc 1998. *MILES ARE IN KM*. Imported straight from Japan. It’s been sitting inside since Covid. Just put in fresh gas and now it starts right up. Most of the parts are all original, and the tank has no dents. Only issue is, because of its age, it has a few cracks on the plastic but you can’t see the cracks since it’s very minor. This motorcycle has never been register in the USA. Everything starts, run, shifts straight and lights have no issues. Serious inquiries only, thanks.

Here we have a street legal NSR. Yup. Imported from Japan, now residing in Georgia. God bless it’s little engine.

Everybody’s got an opinion, and here is Webike’s opinion about the Honda NSR50. “The NSR50 was a bike that changed the era when it was launched by Honda in 1987. This 50cc racer was popularly known as the “N-chibi” (chibi means “mini” in Japanese). The NSR50, which could be ridden with a moped license, was enthusiastically endorsed by young people on mini-circuits and mountain passes. When the NSR50 was launched, Japan was in the midst of a racer-replica boom, and the streets were filled with racer-replica models. Minibike races were also very popular at tracks around the country. To compete in a race on a mid-size or larger bike, you would have to get a bike tuned up for racing, purchase spare parts and riding gear that comply with regulations (helmets, leather suits, gloves, boots, protectors, etc.), and prepare a transporter that can carry all of these items together. From a cost standpoint, this is not an “easily accessible hobby”. However, minibike racing is a relatively inexpensive way to get started. The owner uses this bike for both competition and public road use.”

Aaron put things in perspective while reviewing a ’90 NSR50 on RSBFS, “the bike that made little wheels cool while your Grom-riding, Monster Energy-swilling, flat-billed hat-wearing, vape-sporting nephew was still in Pullups. These bikes never made it stateside as street bikes, but they were sold here until 2004 as entry-level road racers, and made unmodified Yamaha YSRs look even punier by comparison.”

Wikipedia states that, “It is one of the most commonly raced motorcycles in minibike club road racing in the US, and enjoys similar popularity world-wide. It typically falls into class with other two-stroke 50cc road bikes such as the Yamaha YSR50, but is also commonly classed with up to 110cc four-stroke bikes.”

I was able to find another ’98 NSR50 that sold in Canada at EG Auctions for $11,500 CAD / $8,420 USD this past summer. That example only had 57 Km’s on the odometer. “1998 Honda NSR50 – Super Uber Unicorn Rare HRC “street edition”. Only a handful ever produced by Honda HRC (Honda Racing Corporation). Factory produced competition race bike that is street legal : Headlights, taillights, signal lights, electric starter, mirrors, etc.”

If you have any experiences to share or knowledge to drop, please comment. It looks sweet, smells good I’m sure and you know it sounds cool.

Good luck to the buyer and seller!
