    Well after about 9 months of waiting ,my bike has finally arrived from japan .
    It is an nsr50r gag bike in original rothmans honda livery . It has less than 500km on it from new and it is in mint condition for its age (i say that but i don't actually know how old it is ,as i have just sent a letter to honda to find out ) they stopped making the rothmans colours in 1995 though so it is at least 20 years old[​IMG]

    it owes me around £2500 so far, a mate of mine who imports bikes/cars etc from japan, got his man in japan to bid on it on the yahoo japan auctions site .
    I know he has an even rarer nsr80cc over on the isle of wight at the moment in a red and white striped paint scheme (google red/ white nsr 80 for pictures as i can't attach a picture)
    He is after £2500 for it. it is not as tidy as mine but the 80cc bikes are rare even in japan, i spent 2 years trying to find one for sale over here and the only one i could find was on sale for £4500.
