Reader Submittal. Honda Exotica. NSR250SP
Mike Writes:
Steve,
A friend that I have known for 30+ years emailed me and told me that he had sold his 1993 Honda NSR250SP on Ebay, one of 900 made. Originally a Japanese model only, somehow it got registered in the states years ago and my friend has owned it for 8.5 years. It needed to go so he could finish restoring his Lotus.
I HAD to get some pictures for MPOTD, and I shot them in the large format that you request. The new owner has 6 other motorcycles, only one a 4 Stroke, and he races a RD400. From Virginia I think.
Note the original dealer decal on the tail section.
Enjoy and post away!
When do I get my MPOTD Contributing Photographer hat?? lol!
Mike if it was a paying job I'd give you a raise! Maybe we need to start thinking about hat and T-shirts for our "field corespondents"!! Hmmmm... I'm going to give that some serious thought. Stay tuned!

Ultra Rare Gillette Roadracer. Update #2
I've googled and really not found much. What is this cool little bike?
2nd update from a poster on ADV rider:
I remember seeing this bike in a magazine in the early 80s. As I recall the frame is from a Gilera and the engine is made from 3 Mobylette moped engines hence the name Gil/ette. The builder thought this was a great name as the Gilette shaving people had just brought out their 3 blade razor.
UPDATE: From the comments section, Andy in Melbourne writes in:
Hi, I met the bloke who built this bike in 1991 on the Isle of Man. It was late one night and I was staggering up the beachfront at Douglas and i almost stumbled onto this little Gem. I asked what it was and when he said a Gillette 150 I was most amazed. in 30 years of riding I had not heard of a Gillette, but that was because this is the only one ever built by this man, whos name from memory was Dave Gillette. He made the crankcases and the 3 cylinders and heads are the power heads from chainsaws from memory and so 3 X 50cc. =150cc. It was as pretty in the flesh ( what I could see , it was Very late) and I have never forgotten. what a great treat to se this amazing little bike again
Andy in Melbourne
Thank You sir for the heads up. I was really stumped on this one. Great Stuff!

The New 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja archetypal year. The calendar for the new superbike House Akashi are absolutely “ripe” because the activity aeon of the accepted archetypal ends, the canons actuality spent four years of break on the market.
Last summer, accepting “found” abstruse assets of a new agent “flat” (with accumbent butt bank) anchored by Kawasaki at the all-embracing apparent office, we affected the abstruse analysis of new horizons by Japanese engineers, the research, conceivably a college akin of drivability, as occurred in off-road by Husaberg Yamaha aboriginal and again with their latest distinct cylinder.
The little advice that can be accepted from the actual appear today assume to instead ascertain a absolutely new architecture but not too far from the archetypal blueprint of a 4-cylinder superbike.

Extreme is additionally the adventure for bigger aerodynamics, with a plexiglass abundant inclined, and conceivably an breadth to “double layer” for the abandon of the fairing.
As for the abstruse abstracts is not accepted but acutely annihilation in our assessment it is believable to accomplish a accustomed declared 200 bhp timberline (without absolute air induction), in the deathwatch of aftermost trend launched by BMW with S1000RR, able of 193 hp, the best able superbike alternation currently marketed. Among the advantages of the new Ninja superbike will absolutely additionally a akin of awful avant-garde cyberbanking ascendancy of power, with assorted mapping and absorption control.
