      Been there, done that. Had a 465 RM Suzuki, 1982 model, back when I was in the Air Force out in So. California just East of Riverside Cal. Could go East to the mountains/ hills to ride, or up on Big Bear mt. to ride. Went to Korea and sold it. Miss that bike every day.

    Beautiful Suzuki RM 500! I had that identical year RM in a 125cc. That was my first racing 2 stroke dirtbike, in the Summer of 1992, although I had ridden them, many years before that though. Then, within a few months, I bought a new 1993 Yamaha YZ 250, which was a huge step up, to put it mildly. 😂😂

    Back around 1997 I was racin in the expert 250 class a local guy in his 40s who raced professionally in Europe in the 80s turns up at the local track with his old RM465 and raced in the pro class, he was in the top 10 all day!

      Whatever you can afford.
      Be aware that a IT490, YZ490 or WR500 will need race has to run properly untill you get the head mod done, and they vibrate the most. They can also have a pretty violent hit when running right too, so the pucker factor is there.

      That’s a good amount. You should be able to land a decent 250 or 500 with 3k. Keep an eye out and stop at the tracks. Im going with a 250 due to better availability. Not concerned about brand, riders win races, not bikes. I have had mostly Suzuki due to their rider support. If it’s in great condition, is my goal.
