As for "best" motor there is no best one out there, it depends on your track size, weather conditions and many other things.
Here is a list:
1. Economical and good motor - STS D3
2. All round good but pricey - NS12 S3
3. Good short track motor - RR12 L3
4. Dang expensive and very good - JP NS12 S3 or JP X12

When I saw it, it just came out. To me, it didn't look any different than the RS12S3. You could tell it was running out of revs at the end of the straight. But then again, we have a loooong straight. The NS3 doesn't seem to have that problem. Maybe it's just me

Anyway I just ordered a NSR12 S3 - that should see us back in the pack.

I've been researching and it seems that the NS12S3 is the choice if you want to join sanctioned races. Though, which is better, the standard or the turbo version ?
