My first full sized bike was an 82 RM125, I would give so much to have that bike back! When your 13 it felt like you could never bottom out that full floater even if you wanted to!
That's the bike that got me hooked on big bores. My best friend was one of the fastest open class riders in the Midwest riding that same bike in 81. I ended up owning his 465 the following year. It was my first big bore.
@@davebrunette6394 U lucky guy! RIP like crazy don't they biggest I had was totally stripped Kmx200 and that ripped I can only imagine using a couple of big bore bands and shooting about 500m in an instant!👊🏻
Oh how I miss my RM465 Z 82 model ,4 speed too, was as reliable as an axe and would stand up every gear Great video - enjoyed it very much. Cheers Paul ,Australia
That's a Sweet looking RM 465 sounds awesome as well love vintage Suzuki's you never disappoint with bringing back the memories to us with these great MX bikes of the past.
This guy is a true hero by restoring incredibly machines. I had a 1985 250YZ, 1988 250CR and finally a 1992 KX 125. Awesome machines that take me back to the good old days. Kaplan great job!1
Your breaking my heart man ... I raced an 81' 125 and 250 . I literaly had to sell my stereo and my car to buy them but , It was so worth it . I bought a clapped out VW ( the stink bug ) later but THAT YEAR WAS INCREDIBLE ! Green Valley ( Texas ) , OKC ( red dirt ) , Possum Hollow ( IMMACULATE TRACK ! Missouri ) , Of course Ponca City ( Oklahoma ) and Track South of Dallas that was all sand and had the most hellacious woops ever I don't remember the name , Arkansas and Louisiana WHAT A YEAR ! Suzuki was firing on all cylinders that year , Yeah that 465 will give you the moto shits and giggles and tear up some terra firma , loft some man sized rocks and put a permanent smile on your face BRAP BRAP BRAP SUZI .... miss you . PK
Very nice,I've never seen an RM465 before......the DG can is very much like the aftermarket DEP Sport cans that were sold for the RG 250 Gamma road bikes.
I have one of these bikes in one of my storage buildings in fallston NC. It has sat for years, but doesn’t need a lot to be rideable, it has all the original plastics though, and original rims as well if I remember correctly. The motor was bored 60 over the 465 stock. Everything other than that on the bike is original other even the blue seat cover, mine I think is an 82.
One year ago today me and a buddy came up and took a tour of the museum and got to meet Ken and Jr... awesome people. Hoping to come back again one of these days keep doing what you guys do
Being a recent 64 yr o;ld this Bike is from my Era when Younger. On Japanese makes if I couldn't have a Yamaha I had to have a Suzuki. THAT Bike was and still is a FAST Tractor.
Absolutely wonderful dirt bike 1982 RM465 Big bore I must say rip the house right off the foundations. I had a 1986 rm 250 but it wasn't big board. I used to call it. My big Tweety Bird from hell. Absolutely Maniac of a bike. I love my big crazy yellow
awesome bigbore video s i graduated 1983,, was that a 1979 twin cam honda 750 on sidewalk? first bike my dad let me ride his ts400 suzi,enduro, and a 78? ktm 420 bigbores, thanks kaplans
I had the 82. Your bike has the double leading shoe front brake that came with the 83 or 84 500. Big improvement. My single shoe 82 front was a little weak. Suspension great. Four speed not so.
Suzuki nailed it with the 465 r m , if you were lucky enough to have one in the day ,you were envied by all , ps , I rember these bad boys roosting rocks at a 80 mph uphill in the Mr motocross series in australia in the 80s 😎✌
They have such lightweight lower ends on them. Great power off idle. I wouldn't suggest screaming one to redline often. But in the meat of its powerband, which isn't as high of an rpm as you'd think. They have a unique character that was a bit dangerous honestly.
I got a yellow Yamaha tri zinger three wheeler u can have I went through it and couldn't get it running but have all parts that came off it tires all hold air
SusukiRM 250 LOOKS Best THAT RM 465 ISA beauty it rips so fast only needs 2 gears ,hard to band 3 gears inarow SO SCARY U HAVE TO BE IN A STRAIGHT LINE CAZ OF THE TOURGE POWER
Anyone remember gentlemen jim meehan from nesc in the 80s. Did he ride one of these or was he on a ktm in the open class? I know he was on suzukis in 125
We love Uncle Jim we have his 8 ft tall trophy from when he won the Grand Slam Championship all four championships 100 125 250 and 500 only person ever to do it in New England he is a legend

All 1981-82 RM = best looking bikes ever made

Best running too. Many were under carbureted, get the right one on then and they absolutely fly!
@@jeff9062absolutely Jeff there’s small easy to do mod’s on them that makes a night and day difference 👍🇦🇺
They are beautiful
Wat bud..
This is like a history channel for bikes! Another amazing machine!
Only a Suzuki has that distinctive sound only people who road air cooled RMs and PEs know what I mean 😉
It's like a crisp ting 👌🏻
I know what you mean. I've spent a lot of time on my 1981 PE175 and 1982 RM465.

I owned a 1983 RM 250 for a few years. I never realized how fast and how great of a bike it is until i sold it and purchased other 250s
That's the way it goes, you never realize what you have until it's gone!
That is so true.
Early 80's Rm's Were/Are Just Beautiful Bikes. Timeless.
THE HAMMAMATSU HAMMER
I have always wanted one of these big bore Suzuki’s. That bike is perfect!!!!
The RM465 truly is a wonderful bike. I've spent many hours riding and racing my 1982 RM465. It's the most magical feeling bike I've ever ridden.
I had a 81 RM 125 love the old RMs grate bikes
Nothing makes you happier than walking into your garage and seeing this!! YES!!! Those beauties are rare.
You're right, we don't see them every day!

I was in high school when I bought my 1981 RM-250 from paper route and lawn mowing $$. It was great, but this was a dream!
I was High in School when I bought my first CR125.
I loved those Days ❤️🔥🤟🏼

My best friend bought one exactly like that. We were in our senior year. That bike was insanely power. It would wheelie forever it seems like.
DROOOOOOLLLLLLLL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ DREAM MACHINE!
If it was only possible to finance a Canadian! Would love to live the dream! ❤
How good did it sound as it came on pipe in the mid-range and up !! Absolute beauty - when I was a lad it was team yellow or red, I was team yellow 😎
Love Suzuki 👊

The 81 RM465 is a Dream Machine. Should be in a Museum.
The only bike that ever beat my YZ490!
This bike is just eye candy 😊
I don’t ever think I’ve seen a Susie 465 ? Seen 400 - that is a brand new bike. . Wow 👍🥳
They were pretty rare, we don't see them every day!
Love this
Beauties.!!!

I flipped one off these in the 90's as everyone was scared to ride it and it spat me straight off instantly selt it
I’d love to ride one of those original Full Floater systems before they had to change it
I had the 82. Your bike has the double leading shoe front brake that came with the 83 or 84 500. Big improvement. My single shoe 82 front was a little weak. Suspension great. Four speed not so.
Love it. Do u guys have 1980 81 CR Honda 125 motocross?
Rocks, ruts, and rooster tails
If I found these they wouldn’t be for sale just couldn’t sell them
Suzuki nailed it with the 465 r m , if you were lucky enough to have one in the day ,you were envied by all , ps , I rember these bad boys roosting rocks at a 80 mph uphill in the Mr motocross series in australia in the 80s 😎✌

Beautiful ❤💪🏻💪🏻🙏🥊🇫🇷
I wish I could visit your museum
I had one 1982
you'll need Oring chains - sprockets swinging arm bushes Tyres often
What a classic 👌
