Greetings from Vietnam to all NSR fans out there,
My name is Phi from HoChiMinh City, Vietnam. I've always been (and always will be) a fan of NSR 50, the little bikes I saw when I was 10. First appeared in Vietnam in the late 80s, and totally disappear now.
When I first saw it, I immediately asked Mom to get me one (fall in love or just being a naughty boy), obviously she said No, then I waited, waited , waited....until 20 years later, now I'm 30. I can afford to get one (sorry Mom, now whatever you say YES or NO, I still go for my dream). I started my search, looked everywhere, turned the whole country up side down but as I said it seems to be disappeared. Then just about December 2007, I managed to get my hands on it, unfortunately, it was a total wreck, here is the photo before my restoration:
Since Dec until a few days ago, I finished rebuilding this beautiful bike and restored it back to original conditions as much as I could. I bought parts from Ebay and I have to admit NSR parts are extremely hard to find on EBAY ( On the contrary, YSRs parts are OK, easy to find)
I'd like to send the final results of the bike: this is the best I can do with such little parts availability.
So now I'm a very happy man, riding it in front of my Mom (she said I'm crazy) ...haha...It's lots of fun. This bike will be reserved for my son (or daughter) which is due end of next year (working on it hehehe)
That's the story I'd like to share with you all, thanks for reading.
Cheers guys!
Phi
