How have the 2002 rm125's been working in the woods. "A" and "AA" riders, how do the bikes work stock, do they stay together? Suzuki's $0 down and 0% interest combined with their generous contingency is attractive.
I haven't ridden one in the woods yet but I'm sure it would make a great woods mount. I find the motor is easier to ride than my '01 CR and my 02 YZ. It didn't require much input from me with the clutch to get going even off the very bottom. The suspenion is softer overall compared to the CR and YZ but the trade off is worth the added plushness. It reminded me of m 86 CR conventional forks I really liked it. I was able to bottom it but stock I bet it would work great in the woods. The shifting was buttery smooth easier than the CR's and unlike the YZ it doesn't resist shifting under load WFO. The clutch feel is very similar to a hydrualic unit the engagement was very precise and the lever throw happens all in 1/4 of an inch. The ergo's are nice and roomy no complaints here it felt better than the YZ and alot more like a CR. The seat foam was on the soft side but that might work on those long trail rides. I can't tell a real difference in build quality I personally feel that is more of like personal thing. I know it would be just as good as my YZ & CR but if you ask someone I know who is lame on maintence they claim thier rm is a pile. I feel the brakes stomp on the YZ's and are almost at the same level as the CR's. So if you get one I don't think you'll be disappointed I liked enough I didn't want to give it back to my friend. No i'm not candy coating this, that is my str8 up feeling about the bike and I haven't touched a suzook since the early 90's.
