New guy in Japan

[raul507]

Hey everyone. My name is Raul and I'm currently stationed here in Japan with the US military. I own a Bros and I'm two years into my upgrades to her. The next thing to tackle is Brembo's for the front and rear and eventually replace the current instrument cluster with an Acewell digital tac.

I'm really hoping someone else has done the Bros/Brembo upgrade and can help me with find a bracket that will fit.

Thanks!!!

NIce Bike. Are you gonna fly it home when your done?

What branch are you in?

[raul507]

I'm in the Air Force and I do plan on taking it home. I bought a hawk frame from the states and when i get back I'm going to swap out everything to get it registered.

[Doc]

Sweet.

How much longer do you have?

I am sorry to hear you are a Zoomie... :P

( I am Army )

Yeah no ground pounder here!!
My momma didn't raise no fool :P :P

I've got 3 more years here in Japan. I'm about 30 miles outside of Tokyo so things aren't too bad. I've bought a couple other bike while I've been here but I don't drive them.

NSR80
RVF400

I plan on taking them back with me and selling them. I've got an MG back in the states that's in need of restoration and I'm hoping to offset the cost with the bike sales.

Shhhhhhhh!

Lets talk.

Welcome mate.. bike looks the nuts

[raul507]

Uh if you could get me one of those NSRs? That would be great! Heck you got 3 years and I know we could ship it somehow.

Lets talk.

You know that could almost be possible. Where are you in the states. Do y'all have a post "Post Office". I'm thinking maybe we could send it armed forces postal. The only problem would be a title and registration. The bikes here don't meet US standards so the bike would have to be for the track?

Let me know you think?

RAUL!!!! Another Lister found us! Welcome!

Hey, man, your Japanese Bros looks amazing. When I can afford a new exhaust, I'll be hitting Hord up for the exact same thing. Unbelievably sexy (are you listening, JD? How much does this little one-off cost?).

Glad you're stationed someplace cool and not elsewhere, bro. Send me a Harajuku girl or something.

[dagus]

By the way, I thought you might like this better than the vest you're complaining about You've probably already seen it though.

Raul,
Have you taken some pictures of you bike with a Super Sabre in the background? I'm sure I've seen some picture somewhere

[Doc]

Hey Raul,
So How much do those NSR 50's run?

[raul507]

It's hard to say. I found mine for 75000 yen which is about 680-700 us dollars. The fairing was cracked and the engine need a little work but I planned on doing the RC211V body work for it anyway. I'm still working on getting it painted REPSOL colors.

You can pay anywhere from what I paid for mine (maybe cheaper) to 2500-3000 thousand us dollars
