Suzuki RM description

Buy it now or best offer. This is a nice example of a vintage racing bike. It is not a restoration, and I have no idea what is, or is not original, I'm not a collector. My son took an interest in vintage motocross, so I found a bike suitable for his size, and this has been one brilliant little bike. He's outgrown it, and it's time for something else, so I hope someone with similar desires will pick this up and continue it's fine pedigree. My son has won two high point trophies racing this bike over two seasons. It will need going over before you can go win another championship on it, but it's certainly capable. The tires are new, we put them on before the last race of the season, and they are fresh and sharp, less than an hour ride time on them. They even still have the little rubber tabs hanging off the knobs. Mr. twist and slip it (my son) burned up a clutch in February, so we quickly slipped a new one in, nice and fresh, and works great. Super smooth and light action. Makes me jealous. We put brand new OEM Suzuki Carburetor boot and manifold on, nice, supple rubber. The carb goes on like it should, no fighting old, hard, cracked rubber. She starts and idles first kick and runs very smoothly. I feel like it's a little soft on power, but the kid didn't seem to have any issues at 110 pounds. The bike is equipped with a Supertrapp muffler, we got teased a bit at the track, and were told we were giving up power, so I took the end off and ran it straight through. After practice Junior asked me to put it back on because it was too loud. He said it didn't make it better. My estimation is there is probably something better, but this is reasonably pleasant to the ears, and, well, he was winning. The fuel tank is yellow, and says Suzuki, it even holds fuel, but it is not pretty. Someone has sealed it from the inside with some magic sealer of some sort. It has scratches and minor dents, but it's working. Hard to really tell from the pictures. It looks pretty good, it's steel, I was dreaming of putting an aluminum 125 tank on it, but this really did serve it's purpose for racing, and I honestly never had any inkling to restore it, so didn't look too hard. Bike has the original side panels on it, with some effort, they could be sanded and buffed back to their yellow glory. It has UFO fenders on it, would look much better with some original fenders, but I wasn't going to drop that kind of cash for crash boy. At one race, we stripped the splines for the gear selector. An intrepid individual had a welder at the track, so we tacked it on (can easily be knocked off) and saved the day with 1-1 finishes. I know that is a pet peeve for many, but fortunately, it's an easy fix, especially if you plan to dig into the engine. Suzuki parts are cheap and plentiful. This one is in a good position, and there was no reason to change what was working. If you are going to race it, it will be just fine, and won't bug you a bit. If you are going to restore, you need a new shaft anyway. Outside of the little issues, this bike runs and rides well, and is ready to make a new rider happy. This is the perfect entry into a full sized bike for getting a kid into vintage motocross. I see so many bikes for sale that claim to be restorations, and they are a joke. Please realize that this is a rider/racer, and will need the attention that any bike will need after a season of racing, including lube all the bearings, check, and likely replace the fork seals, check the chain, attention to the carburetor and air filter, and any other things you may do. I don't believe the footrests are original, and there are no return springs on them, but they seem to work for him and I left them alone. There is no title, and we will have to issue a bill of sale. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, there are many options, and I'll happily help your shipper load the bike. I will respond to any questions as quickly as possible. |
