[QUOTE="hoov165x, post: 514278, member: 31778"] I had an '85 RM250. It was one of my all time favorites- and one that Suzuki couldn't match with subsequent models for years. The Full Floater rear suspension was the best of its time, and is still considered by many to be on a par with anything offered to date. If I remember right the motor dynoed at approx. 37 rear wheel horsepower. It was very smooth, useable HP too. Although for some of us the motor lacked a real strong hit. As with all Suzukis, especially the older models, loctite everything. I ran mine stock except for boyesen reeds and was pleased with the performance. As with all older machines, I would recommend tearing it down to the frame and checking everything for cracks, wear, etc. Rebuild as necessary. Have fun! BTW this bike is incredibly easy to whip over jumps. More so than any other bike I have had. I also had a YZ465H (81). Awesome bike, huh? [/QUOTE]
