Official NS50F thread

[sanjuro]

I filmed the entire True Grits ride this year via a GoPro camera on the top of my helmet riding my black Honda '82 MB5. I plan to edit it down a bit and post it on Youtube soon.

Please do.

Totally undecided regarding plans for the NS50F that I bought today. Plenty of disappointments making this bike a challenge for collector bike status. Good news is that it runs and shifts into 5 gears as best as I could tell in the parking lot. A local friend who has lived in this area 14 years, and also has monitored Craigslist for MB5/NS50 during that time reports that this bike is only the second he has seen. Will post pix asap...Sat. is race-day

After posting this pic, I saw the slight bend in the fork tube...did not catch that when inspecting bike, I'm slipping...

Motormike,

That's great dude! Looks very clean for its age; I really like that alot! Yes, it's a long process restoring, but also a fun process... You will love riding your NS; it's amazing how smooth they are, even at really high RPM. -Looking forward to having an NS buddy!

Talk soon man- jon

I should have known you would snag that it being near or in Nashville, I am so jealous. I was seriously debating getting that since the price was fairly reasonable. Great score

[sanjuro]

Aside from the painted fender and tail cover, it looks great!

Awesome find MotorMike!
You guys are making me want one!
I'll just add it to my wish list... right next to my NSR50
Hmm... I still regret selling my YSR50.

The idea of keeping this NS on the street is very appealing. The moped gang locally known as The Dead Peds are all friends of mine. They are cool with me riding the Aero with them, but I know that riding the NS with them will be WAY cooler. I'm just not very critical of the bikes condition for a street thrasher. No real wish to race it, either. This MIGHT be the funnest bike ever.....

Closer inspection starts finding a bunch of little things that are wrong, esthetically.

I like the little racers too, but the street is "Off Limits"

here's my Craigslist pics... doesn't look as good up-close... just picked it up today
took a bit to get running, but it runs

[motormike]

Good stuff Zenak. I see both the radiator shroud and cafe' fairing.

[Zenak]

yep.. got the lower shroud too , pretty scratched up tho...and no tachometer

[lowburb]

I have been following the build for a while now. The bike looks great! I have a project bike that is pretty rough but it has the lower fairing and the factory optional tach. I was looking for parts and found this one for sale in Saskatchewan, in case anyone was interested. http://saskatchewan.kijiji.ca/c-cars-ve ... Z365269587 It's not mine, although I would love it to be. It seems a bit pricey but it is clean.

[Zenak]

a lil rich for me...would love to see pics of your bike, especially the tach. haven't seen one closeup. i was hoping my was going to have one since it had all the plastics.

[lowburb]

She's not pretty but she runs well.
