I raced that exact bike in 1978 against Ron Lechien and Scott Burnworth.
Absolutely LOVE IT. 💕
I had that bike! I was 13. With new Metzlers It was a rocket and beat any Honda 125 Elsinore I ran against. The thing i remember is the police showed up in 10 mins since it was ungodly loud. The spark arrestor on the back makes a wicked crackle. Thanks for a flashback to my childhood Captain!
I raced an rm 80 Bin 1977 for four years .Strong motor with usable power all through the rev range .......2nd size over port and polish ,FMF power pipe and porcupine head .Fast as pre water cooled 80s .I won my local C grade comp in 1981 .Loved my bike .Love my SUZUKI .
Air cooled 80s until 82 made strong
Power in mids and man its so much different than water cooled 80 that had top end.
Riding a 2 stroke 80cc is just awesome.
I had this same bike as a kid in the very early 90s. That think could really rip!!!
She's a beauty, thanks for the flashback!
If I won the Lottery I would open up a Shop and do EXACTLY what you guys are doing..
You are living the dream brother. 👍✌
You won't be winning the lotto I can a sure you that it's corrupt
If I hit the lottery. I would back the,NEMM to its fullest. They deserve it in many ways. Thanks for the throw back,Ken. You're whole team is amazing.
My first bike....That baby was fast and loud! Neighbors hated it lol.
My best friend Charles got one new for his 11th birthday. I learned to ride on this very bike. So scary! Would stand straight up in 4th gear when hitting that crazy power band. The sound still gives me nostalgic chills! He moved up to an 81 Rm 125 and could take me in whole shot but the 80 would pass it on the country roads at about 55 mph. Oh I loved this bike! Memories.👍
My very first bike was a RM80 and i loved riding as a kid. I got to take it to school and we used it in our automotive class, when we were studying 2 stroke engines. I pretended i was the Fonz and rode all around the place lol.
I was 7 yo and My first bike was a 1978 RM50. Wished I had never sold it. I wouldn’t mind finding another. Even if I have to restore it. Would bring back memories
Love the 1975-1979 Suz RMs. I need to become a collector 😁
That’s the bike I learned to ride on in ‘77 or ‘78!
I had a pennysaver&paper route. My dad and I walked into,Stadium Suzuki over by Shea Stadium. We paid just over $600.00 for the thing. That thing hauled some ass!
I also recall walking into Stadium Cycle in Flushing in 1978 with my dad and buying my '78 RM80 ($550.00 cash). We were on our way back from work in lower Manhattan. It was a Friday afterrnon. I had been pestering my father for months for that bike, as my '75 Honda XR75 was no longer cutting it. We menaced the streets of north Flushing, Bayside, and Whitestone for years with that bike. The best years of our lives. We still talk about it to this day.
Sounds as if we were neighbors. We use to tool around everywhere. Douglaston,Little Neck,Bayside. We all went behind a Chevy dealership in Douglaston,Bay Chevy off Northern Blvd. I'm digging you're story,to much alike 🏁
I raced a RM 80 when I was 12 those little bikes could fly. I use to practice with guys in the 125 class and I could get the hole shot a lot of the time. Once I got out front on a good day that little bike was hard to beat. One of my favorite bikes ever, when I went to the 125 class I switched to a CR125 never owned another Suzuki after that I rode Honda’s until I was well into my twenties and early thirties. Now an old fart I keep a WR450 for playing around in the woods.
I had a 78' RM80, and I would love to ride one again!! My dad changed the gearing, so it wasn't so close, and installed a Super Trapp, so I didn't set the Forrest on fire.
I have one. Still a beast!!!
I had one I was 10 and about 70 lbs that thing was fast! Thanks for the memories brother! 👍
I had the kx 80 in 79.
Wow!!.. What a piece of vintage glory!!.. Had a 1978 RM250 that i traded for a blown up 86 CR500. Kick myself in the ass all the time because i dont have either now. Id buy another 78 RM250 if i seen yall had one for sale. What a great bike it was.
Beautiful machine, no question! Im hoping the kickstarter isnt stuck in that position though.
That Suzuki is a awesome bike had one in my day beautiful machine you just don't never see them anymore but that bike is going to make some one very pleased with a classic that's very rare I have seen bikes like that but they were tore the hell up they were junk with parts laying everywhere that's one beautiful dirt bike it makes me think about the good old days take care just wanted to say what a awesome bike beautiful machine and sounds great that bike got some power
These things were a blast
Such a cool bike. Ty.
My very first bike. Oh the memories.
District 6..I raced that same bike
My first 80cc.
Yep my best friend bought one first year for 6 speed it was a mean machine we were going into the 8th grade a buddy had a new yz 80 same year the RM was faster both were screamers for sure great memories from my youth
Nice nice for sharing awesome
I think that was the first year they did the six-speed transmission YZ had a 5-speed transmission the RM80 vs YZ 80in Motocross magazine that year the RM was the faster better bike even the suspension was better. Yamaha had Monoshock which sagged after a season of hard riding.
Do you guys know any way to clean the second muffler - or a replacement that I can use?
Back around ‘79 this big kid thought he was a bad ass flyin down Vienna Park gravel roads. Loud!! Wakin up all the neighbors!! Then hit the woods and would ditch the cops.
I do remember that big kid....HELLRAISER.... always runnin' it wide open
I had a brand new yz80D 1977 or 78
Awesome looking museum and bikes! Just doesnt look right with Danzig riding showcasing them .
What's up with the kicker is it stuck ?
I have à xr 80 1983

Anyone know the original color code for this bike?
My First two stroke experience was on that same year and cc motocrosser one eye watering best buzz the next same best buzz 91 KX500 Google's on Strong head wind up hill let's do a top ender on this thing Before she taped out 5 cog was almost left sitting on the ground from not being able to hang on Try a heat gun with the plastic come up brand new
