[QUOTE="los36, post: 741148, member: 28254"] They did a total redesign in '01 and missed the mark a little. The motor left something to be desired and the suspension was off the mark. Both problems were fixable, though. In '02, the swingarm mount was moved a few mm's on the frame and the suspension settings were refined. A big improvement. The forks tend to bottom, but the shock is decent. The power is fairly broad and strong. I have had my '02 since Oct. 01 and have not had to spend any money on abnormal repairs. The newer Suzuki's are built much better than they were in the early - mid ninetys. The 03 and 04 have continued to improve on the design introduce in 01. I hear that the 04 is awesome. FYI - the PV linkage problems that you've heard about were related to the RM 125 in 01 or 02. If you're not going to buy new, I'd strongly recommend the 02 or 03. The 01 is OK, but the newer bikes are setup a bit better out-of-the-box. [/QUOTE]
