1994 Honda NSR250R SP Rothmans MC28

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

In 1994, the Japanese firm updated the NSR with an all new model dubbed the MC28. The result was arguably the ultimate 250cc street bike in Japan thanks in no small part to the PGM-IV ignition and Pro-Arm single sided swingarm. Also notable was the memory card used to start the bike.

As NSR fans know, the SP model was the cream of the crop thanks to a dry clutch, adjustable suspension, and Magtek wheels.

This example (VIN: MC281003959) is one of the 1,500 Rothmans-livered SP models for 1994. The seller acquired it roughly three months ago from an auction in Japan.

The odometer shows 3,593 kilometers (2,232 miles).
