Re: NSR500
You've got to admire the work that has gone into that, but maybe an older race rep paint job would be more appropriate? To most of the population it would appear to be another repsol blade.
I had never heard of the V3 two stroke before, though.

Re: NSR500
I'd rather have a proper NS400 chassis
The Spark fairing is gash too...
The work..you cannot see it - the motor is in, but no pics! Anyone can fit a fairing, some ZXR forks etc.
A lot of effort for a bike that won't be quite the bike either of the donors are.

Re: NSR500
there maybe better grand prix relplicas out there, but 90-100 BHP in something that weighs less than an NC30 is still quite a performance package.
Personally, I quite like the idea of taking something old and bringing it up to date with modern wheels, brakes, tyres and suspension and wrapping it up in some pretty clothes as it expresses a certain amount of creativity instead of just restoring everything back to factory standard.
Just look at some of Alan Milyard's creations, the guy is a genius!
