Additional photos of this 2004 Honda NSR50R are available here for your perusal.

The NSR50 was in Honda’s lineup for decades before they blessed the USA with a chance to officially try it for ourselves in 2004. Before that year, Americans had to either order one directly from HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) or try to import one through the gray market. It was well worth the effort, because Honda used components that made it much more competent on the track than the usual choice of the Yamaha YSR50. But for 2004 (and only for that year), you could go to certain dealers and walk out with this diminutive-yet-impressive race bike the same day. It was easily the best deal in minibike racing at the time.

Producing 7.2 horsepower at about 10,000 rpm, the 49 cc two-stroke single is liquid cooled and redlined at 11.5k. This helps powered the NSR50 to a top speed of about 60 mph. Ask anyone serious about racing and they’ll tell you that this is one of the best bikes to get started on. Frankly, many experienced riders love getting practice on the NSR50 and its incredibly light weight of just 161 pounds.

This example (VIN: RS50-1100843) was originally sold new in Canada.

It is offered in the original crate.

The seller imported to the US last month (he has the customs invoice and declaration) from an ex-AMA team owner and the seller is letting it go as he has “way too many bikes.”

The sale includes the “parts manual, overflow reservoir bottle, plug wrench and fasteners for rear sets.”

It also includes two original keys.

The seller states that it has no known mechanical issues and the only cosmetic issue is that it is “dusty and dirty from 17 years of sitting.”

Currently located in Columbus, Ohio, this NSR50R is offered on a Bill of Sale only.
