Suzuki introduced the RM (RM = Racing Model, TM = Trail Model) series of motocross models in 1975. The range quickly stretched out from 50 to 400cc and became very successful. A few years later the Full Floater swingarm was introduced and water-cooled engines came along in 1981. The '86 RM125G had a new and stronger frame. Suzuki says that the amount of frame parts has been decreased to close to half. The Full Floater rear suspension was new, both swing and the link system. An eccentric cam in the link system for increased progressiveness and improved damping. Lower seat height despite of the higher ground clearance. Also, the engine was new. It was slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, it had a new, flat, piston and AEC (Automatic Exhaust Control) system, Suzuki's variable expansion chamber to give the machine a broader powerband. The engine was coated Blue.
This bike has come as part of a private collection of bikes and the vendor has stated that it has had a full engine re-build but had hardly been run since so will require running in.
