Racer X Films: 2006 RM125

Показать описание

Like it or not, four-strokes own the sport of motocross these days. We’re always looking for fun projects, though, and nothing is as fun as a 125 two-stroke. Yes, they’re slower 250Fs, but their positives can't be overlooked. We got this Suzuki RM125 off Craigslist for $600 and did some TLC.

I brought a 2005 KX125 ($2300)...stripped it to the frame the next day...
Over 6mths months dropped another $2000 in to it..Rod kit, mains, piston, seat cover, leavers...etc. Now it have a race ready bike for when I want to ride and no monthy payments.And theres no better feeling than passing people on 2015 model bikes!!!

The early 2000s RM and the YZ are the most beautiful bikes IMO

I wouldn't trade my RM125 for a 250f even with 10k cash thrown in with it. So much fun, so much character. Honestly nothing could replace it.

its so satisfying watching the forks bounce when he rails the corners

You Americans are so lucky with your amazing tracks

Great idea for a vid! Would be interested in more rebuild vids but with some cost specs involved, would be a popular series for sure

*buys a 125 for 50$, puts 10, 000$ into it*

People are ridiculous why does every one think that 2 strokes blow up after one ride.

MrLizza

WRONG. 125s are just as fast as 250F's

I think you meant 250F's are EASIER to go fast on.

1:30 you mention this being good before moving to a 250 4strokes.

I'm in the market to buy my first mx bike and I'm torn between the two. I used to ride a Beta 50 RR just to have fun because my brother used it, also tried my friend's 125 2strokes Husky. I actually don't prefer one over the other but for the prices here in Italy I can find a 125 2S at the same price of the 250 2S in some cases(example, 2004 Yamaha YZ 250 in good shape) but there's also some good 250 4S.

I'd love to have the most simple bike as possible so what would be better for a starter? On the maintenaince side the 2S is easier and less cc is still more powerful compared to 4S versions but I don't know the difference while riding them since I tried 2S only so far. I know in the MXGP they use 4S only but that doesn't really matter for me...I don't know why but I'm liking Yamaha and Kawasakis's 2S quite a lot just by feeling, I just don't know what's the pros and confs of 2S and 4S when it comes to dirt riding.

P.s. I'm not a bike noob anyway, as I said I had some fun with a 50cc and a 125cc last summer but I've been riding 600/1000cc street bikes for four years now.

I have been begging for a motocross many years. My parents were saying too young, too expensive, dangerous. Now, when I told my dad there is a rm125 2008 with fmf shorty for sale, he imidietly wants to go look at it with me xD

When I turned 30 and no longer had to race teenagers the vet class racers seemed really slow.
So I bought me a RM 125 and never had any trouble beating them on their big bikes.

learning to carry speed through corners to make the obstacle out of the turn not just relying on hitting the gas like you can on those four strokes should be mandatory four up and coming racers
