Photo Info: This is my 1985 Suzuki RM250.
what was i thinking? why did i buy another Suzuki? I hate Suzuki''s! it was better than my DR, but not by much! it needed so much work doing toi it, i just couldnt afford to keep it, so i had to sell it after just 2 weeks. it was quite fast, i caned it up the road and it must have done about 80 - 85ish, but it didnt get there as fast as it should have, I have ridden a Husqvarna WRK260, and that pulled your arms off with acceleration, and the front wheel wouldnt stay down, but the RM seemed a little sedate, and the front wheel wouldnt even pop.
The suspension was awful. the fork seals had gone, and so had the gas shock, the result was that it felt really bad up the track, it shook, and bounced and bottommed out constantly. the motor needed rebuilding too, as it was still on its original piston from ''85 (!) as well as neading new chain and sprockets, a front tyre and a kick start, it would have cost me far too much to put right. so she had to go... |
