  • Arizona Firefighter and cancer survivor, Justin McMurrich, has worked with us at Vital MX on a few builds in the past. This time he has returned with a mint condition 2002 Suzuki RM125 #twostroke project bike. After a bit of much-needed elbow grease and replacing just about every part, the result was a fire-breathing #rm125 ready to rip the hills of Glen Helen.
    Make sure to crank the volume and hit the play button as we run this bike through its paces and cover just about every detail that went into this Race Shop Build.

    Ah yes, my favorite bike! I race my 2001 RM 125. I spent so many hours building mine.

    Met Justin up at cahuilla a few weeks back they had this bike up there what a crisp sounding 125! And Justin couldn’t have possibly been a cooler guy to chat with. Great build!!

    Cant agree more, had a 2000 and 2001 rm125 - that 2000 was killer but ugly!! 2001 looked way better! Love these Suzuki's - wished they still made them even if there weren't as competitive in todays world.
