Sold my 1976 RM125 in 1980 and bought a new 1980 RM125 for $1200 Fabulous motorcycle!
Too damn bad, that you can't still buy one for $1200. At that price, I could afford to buy their whole RM Lineup.
Bought a new one for a thousand dollars even on sale July of 1980 at Everett Suzuki in Washington state. I was 13 and just coming off a 79 XR 80 and wanted the new CR 80 from Everett Honda which l test rode in the alley that Saturday morning, but was told l was to big, so we went a mile down the road and l remember pulling up and all the rows of RMs at the dealership. It was exciting. I thought l was getting a RM 100, but Suzuki was having a sale, the 125 for a $1000. I was afraid of the thought of 125, but my dad made me get it , saying l would wear out the 100 like the XR. Best day of my life almost. I'm calling Kaplan to see if this bike is available. I remember that July day like it was yesterday. Great bike.
That CR 80 was anoydream machine. A friend of mine had one in 81 and he was a terror on it.
Reminds me of my 79 RM 400 which I loved in 1981 aged 15 , happy days 😊 Cheers all .
Had a brand new '79 RM80 that I graduated up from an MR50. I dreamt of an RM500, never had the chance to ride or own a 500, maybe some day.
I bought a brand new left over 1980 RM 125 in 1981. I paid $1000 for it. It was an awesome bike. At the time I only weighed about a 130 lbs. It didn't even know I was on it.
I had to give a thumbs up 10 seconds in on this one ! what a dime peace! one of the nicest bikes of that era!
I had one of those in 1980, fantastic bike
She’s a beauty - love the dual rear shocks
I am busy building one right now. And i have the same front end to put on. These are the bikes i learnt to ride on aswell so i have really fond memories of the 100 and 125.
The first real dirt bike I ever rode. I was 13 and I could barely touch the ground. Wanted one ever since.
Did you HEAR that SUZUKI?! Make it today and you'll sell the hell out of them !!!
Like Ken sr. I always had my eye on a Suzy Rm. A sweet bike !
That's fun to look at. Nice looking example. Those were good looking bikes. I too learned from Super Hunky and Dirt Bike magazine. My dad and I would share the mag. Those were good times. I was 15 and all I thought about 24/7 was bikes.
My friend had these bikes. A few over the years. Love riding that bike. Frist few bike I learned on 2002 dayz .
Beautiful!
wow so many memories mate just a buitilfull peace of kit ya
Love those vintage MX Suzuki RM's. They hauled ass, and I love the original graphics you have on the bike. Beautiful and Fast MX Racer.
Funny, i just went from an Ed bassmaster video to this one and you mentioned him!
You are living the dream driving all these bikes Ken! Even if its only for a few minutes!
What a beautiful 2 stroke!
I raced one ....I put in a Fox fork kit reringed it three times and it ran like a dream ! She pulled the holeshot at my first race in Ponca City ..LOVED THAT BIKE ! PK
素晴らしいコンディションですね！👍👍👍
日本人初のモトクロス世界チャンピオン、渡辺明さんを思い出しました。🇯🇵☺️
Very cool ! I had a 78 125 !☺️
I'm biased Suzuki for me 😜
The original Superman bike. Man that takes me back to when I was 15, a guy about 17 had one in 80 and when I saw him jumping that's i was so impressed. It's like a model T. They were water-cooled the next year, I had one of those.
Stunning RM125 pristine and rare species

One of the most beautiful motocross bikes ever produced .
These were right priced beautys and simple to work on these super aircooled two stroke bikes were the go back in the late 1970s and 80s mix the fuel with super race oil and off it goes like a rocket ship

I remember that 44 years later, at 60. From a GT80A, then a YX80D, to a taller than my inseam RM125T. My skills improved dramatically and was soon leaving an older mentor on a CR250 in the Walla Walla dust.
and Let the Good Times Roll....The Cars(song from that time is playing in my head)😀
Many greetings from Germany, for Ken Snr. The Godfather of the Honda CR. Long Life and many Fun with your CR 500s i Wish for you and your Family and Friends.
Thanks to enjoy These nice Videos
Thank you very much!
Ken, you always surprise me on these dirt bikes. That thing is the holy Grail. What a beast of a bike. Thank you Ken. Thank you Ronnie for the video Kaplan cycles number one
That is Super Sick! Bravo!
uno!
I commented on her yesterday and today I'm reading all of the other people who have the same fond memories wow. It was the best days of my life and I see that that's true for so many other's my age. Saturday night live was in it's prime to. $12,000 , there's no reason it should be any different today. You said it,it never really got any better than that.
Gimme that French fry 🍟

In 1980 I was riding a Can-am 125 MX-6 only because I couldn't afford this baby which had a price of about $1250 then. I was 17 years old and had a part time job but that was out of my reach. The Can-am was fun and affordable at that time and pretty bulletproof. Fast forward 44 years now and I have a 79' RM250N in my garage. Total blast to ride.
I had a 79 RM 250 to when I was 17 in 82, best bike I ever had.
Beautiful. I think 1983 forks had yellow sliders but whatever this looks and sounds great.
One of the best Suzuki models!??????
Time warp awesome ❤
Nice super hunky ref. 👍
I traded my old 74 kawi 125 for a 79 rm125 tbat was one heck of a upgrade
Exactly right i had a Rm 80 same year we would take 30 min between races n out new piston and rings in it jump on ride till the went down i had a 84 Yz that wasnt half as fast or durable .
Killer bike!
thats a perfect bike
Just look at it would ya
It is a mako copy of a 19 80 250
77 and 78 RM125 motors screamed till redline....79,80, and 81 RM125 motors had to be short shifted or power would just drop off when you hit 8000 rpms. I liked my 77 motor better than my 79 motor.
Wherever this bike ended up at please sell it to me !
PE 175 in the back y'all
Sweet! 💯👍
Look at it. Would ya just look a it. Holy shit Sr you make me laugh
