    I hapened across it as I used to live in the city a while back. I was polishing my '68 CB 350 in the driveway when some kids rolled up. One asked me if I'd sell him the battery side cover because he had the same bike.

    I explained I couldn't as I only had the two, one on each side. Long story short I parked it outside next to the ga under a bike cover. The next time I took the bike cover off to ride it I found the kid stole my side cover. So I went round and round looking for this kid and or his bike. Thats when I saw this ASI 125 in this ladies garage. I asked if she would sell it (tires were flat and gas tank had holes in the bottom ) and she said I could have it for 50 bucks. I said I'll be right back with the cash. I brought a tire pump along and low and behold they held air. Still the same ones on it today. I rolled it home and not long after some tinkering and a tank I was mobile.

    The other I bought for 200 off a guy I once worked with. He was retiring at the time so trying to liquidate stuff. The clutch pushrod was bent so it would not throw out the clutch. I removed the rod placed it in a vise and walla. I placed it back in 180 degrees out so the weak section where it had bent was in the sleeve and has worked flawless since.
    Sweet bikes. I would love to get an old two stoke street bike in Thailand that i see around sometimes.

    Not difficult or expensive.

    The NSR150SP is the pick of the bunch. Just make sure that it's the SP version with a single-sided swingarm.

    NSR 150 SP ???????? ???????? Kaidee

    Can prolly get a KRR for 10k baht,.

    Grazie, Luigio. So posting from a phone is a bit different than from laptop? When I posted pics from phone, it only showed a thumbnail. Then you have to click on the thumbnail to see the bigger image.

    Weird.. I just posted the above from the phone and it just gave a link to the picture, then when I used the edit function it automatically embedded the photo... still, posting from the mobile is a great achievement on the TD technology front and I can see this thread getting a new lease of life
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

    Luigi, I don't know why you think the Honda 150 SP is better than the 150 RR that I have except for maybe being a year later than mine. I have a 150RR and she's quite a rocket for a small 2 stroke bike. I've had 5 of them over the years and always made money after getting them.

    I have had all of mine fixed by a Thai friend of mine that lives close to me and they are cheap to repair. The highest speed I have done on my latest one was 160 kph when I first got her. I have no doubt she could get to 150 if I didn't run out of road. 555

    I don't do much speeding like that any more but I do love that she can jump up so quickly. 2 Strokes are so much fun.

    Been looking for a 250cc Honda 2 stroke to put into it or another one I know of down the road from me.

    If you find a Honda 150 SP for 10k baht I'll be willing to bet it needs a lot of work.

    You might find a KRR for 10k, not an NSR 150SP.

    The SP has proarm swingarm, wider rear tire and 37hp, compared to the RR's 30-ish.

    Yeah, the 250cc 2-strokes are sweet.

    Especially if you put a bit of Castrol R in the tank.

    No need for it to go in the tank, they have an oil injector, I used to own a Kawasaki 500 3 lunger 2 strocker and that is what went bad going down the road and the engine locked up doing about 50 mph down the road.


    Wish I still had that bike, it was a SCREAMER.

    My mad mates borrowed my Camper 35 years ago. The one in the middle is now renting my Gaffer in Perth. Can't believe he survived.

    As for two strokers, when I was young and ponderd magazines I often wished that I had one,No not a wank bitch,. I didn't mind if you called me a fool or if you said it's one to wind up on Sundays.

    Well you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school and have all the Bishops harmonizing lines.
