      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 a great way of putting it. Seeing all of these late ‘70s and early ‘80s Japanese bikes is a thrill. I owned quite a few of them, so it’s great to see them in this kind of condition.

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 .

    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.

    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 think that the big 4 should take a page from guitar manufacturers like Fender and Gibson and do limited runs of vintage reissues from different eras. Imagine being able to buy a brand new vintage signature series Mark Barnett RM125, a Bob Hannah YZ250, a Marty Smith CR250, or a Brad Lackey KX500. Later on a second series, a Ricky Carmichael RM250, a James Stewart KX250, etc.. In the guitar world they sell a lot of these. Not sure how it would pan out in the motorcycle world, but it would be a blast to see.

      @@KaplanCycles​​⁠Hey, quick question. Are the RMs and YZs from the late ‘70s early ‘80s rare to find in this condition these days compared to CRs because riders rode the wheels off the RMs and YZs, or is it because there were a lot more CRs produced and sold? I grew up in Texas in the ‘70s and RMs and YZs were everywhere. Rarely saw CRs until mid ‘80s and really rarely saw KXs until the ‘90s. Sweet RMs like this one are almost impossible to find. Especially 125s. Thanks.

    So im really confused looking at this bike. Its a mix between an 81 & 82. Perhaps a mid year production? The graphics on the tank are 81, round slide carb is 81 (82 had the flat/square), 82 front number plate (81 were round), 82 front fender. Is the trans a 5 or 4 speed? 82 were 4 speed... not original seat and cover either. The tank/nut protector is not factory. Awesome bike regardless! My brother still has his 81, but its not this nice.(original owner) wish i would have never sold my 82... first new bike i ever owned.
