Excell gold rims Boyesen clutch and ignition cover Porting and head milling for improved power. 2001 CR250r shock by pro-action. 2000 CR500 front fork. 1999 CR250r frame. polysport plastics. renthal handlebar and
2005 Suzuki RM 450Z

Purchased: Oct 2005
Info: I just returned from my dealer and took the 450 back with me. Brand new, a 2005, in october. I got a good deal on it! And they took my lovely 250 back... Well, now I can´t wait to try this bike and compare it with my CR500AF. I won´t race the CR500 but I still practice and trail ride the bike often, so it might be easier to switch to a 450 instead of a 250.

1998 Suzuki RM 250

Info: This was my second RM250. A much more better bike than my 95, very reliable for a zook and very light and agile. I sold it almost new because it was completely rebuilt for the racing season, wich never happenned. Sold this bike in may 2001. Got my CR500 instead.
1995 Suzuki RM 250

Sold: Aug 1999
Info: My first 250. Bought in 1997. Won my first race on it. And won for the last time on it too. Traded against my 98RM. When I sold it, it was so burned out that the dealer gave me 1000$ for it, when the other 95 were selling 3000$. I don´t recommend these suzukis. If you want a good suzuki 250, don´t buy anything older than 97. The 125 were fine though...

Info: My 1984 XR80. This is my second bike. My father bought it to me when I was 8 years old, I sold it in 1995 when I was 15. It had no power, even when I was young I wished for more... (check my other bikes, you will understand). My next bike was a 93 RM125. What a difference!

Purchased: Aug 1995
Sold: Aug 1997
Info: My little screamer. I was once a 125 rider, when I was 16 year old kid yeah... I wish I was still 150 lbs, because riding a 125 pinned is such a thrill!

Purchased: Jun 2005
Sold: Oct 2005
Info: This a 2005 RM250. This bike is very nice, the handling is amazing. The midrange is very strong, but I wish for a little more low-end and a bit more top-end. Fortunately the power is very snappy and it kick hard with only a small slip of the clutch. I added pro-taper triple clamp and bars, Nstyle sticker kit, pro-circuit silencer shorty, the suspension have heavier spring by race tech and I
