1975 SUZUKI RM125
The RM series of Moto-Cross machines were launched in 1975, replacing the old TM models. The range ran from 50cc right up to 400cc, and were very successful off the back of Suzuki’s World championship winning works machinery. By 1981 the models adopted liquid-cooling and the Full Floater swing-arm, a giant evolutionary leap in the handling stakes, giving Suzuki a real edge against the competition at that time. The extra performance of this model was achieved through more radical porting, which was hand finished. Re-designing the expansion chamber and a larger Mikuni carburettor complimented the additional port work.

The early 1970s witnessed a flurry of development in off-road and dual-purpose bikes that is still without peer for its diversity and excellence in execution.
Two-stroke European motorcycles were often a dominant force in racing at this time, and although Honda had achieved some success with the SL-350, a dual-purpose variant of the venerable road-going CB350 twin, dealers and consumers alike were begging for a purpose-built Honda dirt bike.
Honda delivered with the 1972 XL250 Motosport, a single-cylinder with a trick four-valve head, upswept exhaust system and a serious off-road chassis.
Today the 1978 HONDA XL250 it has full classic status especially in North America, where it was hugely popular.
