This info is on NSR.com
1985 NS250R MC11
The NS250R MC11 was introduced in 1985 and was the leading edge design destined to be the ultimate configuration for a twin cylinder 2-stroke motorcycle!
It sported both an aluminium frame and swingarm, unheard of on a road-bike in it's day, along with Honda's trendy Astralight wheels. Again Honda used the ATAC system similar to the MVX, but had now introduced a nickel-silicone carbide (Nikasil) coating on the cylinders for reduced friction and greater wear resistance. 45hp @ 9500rpm out of the showroom made the NS250 an instant hit with Japanese sport riders and club racers alike!It's design and styling was taken directly from the works RS250R's of that era, a bike that was cleaning up in GP's and eventually allowed Freddie Spencer to win both the 250 and 500 World GP titles in the same season!A naked (unfaired) version designated the NS250F was also available. It came without the Astralight wheels or alloy swingarm. It was never as popular as the NS250R, and today is extremely rare!

Hi, first post on this forum for me! These were sold new in NZ in the late '80's and were quite popular so that could be an option if you were really keen. Basically the same as a NS400 but with a smaller twin cylinder engine.
