Comments

It appears you're interested in specifications for the NSU 8PS. This Sport model is powered by a Twin, four-stroke engine with 996.00 ccm (60.78 cubic inches) of actual displacement before compression. Fueling is metered via Carburettor allowing this machine to produce its 16.00 HP (11.7 kW) horsepower and torque. According to our records engine heat of the NSU 8PS is moderated by Air. You'll need to get familiar with the 3-speed transmission and pay attention to final drive Chain maintainence. Our best information shows that the front tire size is 28-Mar and the rear is 28-Mar. The entire package is supported by the frame, Steel. We know you like to go fast or cruise all day, but when you need to stop, you'll be dependant on front brakes and rear brakes. The NSU 8PS was launched in 1926, and we're happy to know (or assume) you've got one in your garage. To help you keep your ride in tip-top shape, consider purchasing an owner or service manual.
