Tell me about 2-strokes/Thinking about buying Honda NSR250R
I'm gonna be in Japan for a year next year, and over there 2-strokes are legal on the streets (unlike most places in the US).
The Honda NSR250 looks hot.
Only thing is, I've heard that 2-strokes need top-end rebuilds every once in a while.
So, first of all...what is a top-end rebuild? Second, how often do you have to do it? Third, would buying a used one be a good idea?
I'm also assuming a 2-stroke 250 is gonna make a good bit more power than a regular 250. Am I correct?
Hopefully somebody can cure my ignorance. Thanks!
