Does anyone know if the '03 RM 85's are out yet? A local dealer said that they aren't even in the country yet and won't be here until early september.

Was told end of August, early September for the 85's as well. We have one on hold and my son keeps bugging me about when it will be in.

The Rm 65's, 100's have just shown up here this week, so we are hoping the 85's are next.

There was an '03 RM85 on the floor at Chesterfield Power Sports last weekend. I know, 'cause my 12 year old was all over it. :)

Looks like they now have inverted forks like the YZ's.

That means the other RM on the floor was an '01 (at least?). Wonder what they would take for a bike that's been setting on the floor for almost 2 years?

Even with the conventional forks, would probably still make a good woods machine, eh?

Bikes that have been sitting generally cost the dealer a lot of money due to finance costs etc. Best way to buy a bike is on order or as it arrives on the floor. Dealer has had minimal cost. You might pay for it before he has had to. The other problem is that it is now a two model old bike. When you sell its getting old........

The 85 is still a Suzuki motor. The RM100, RM65 and RM60 are KX's in yellow plastic.

I thought that Suzuki motor was better anyway .They seemed to suffer less toasted cranks than the KXs
