Travis Pastrana Two-Stroke Motocross 2003 Suzuki RM125 | Garage Build | Racer X Films

Our base platform for this build was a 2003 Suzuki RM125 two-stroke that we essentially resurrected from the grave. It was a Craigslist find, and our bike builder, Scott Adkins of Pro SX MX Tech, was pretty upset when I brought the bike in for him to check out. (“That thing’s junk, take it back!” were the first words he uttered.) After some convincing, he finally decided to take it on. That was May of 2018. During the course of an entire year, Scott and his student Matt Goodbred slowly worked on tearing the bike apart, determining what was usable, and getting a parts list ready for the build. We used all of what’s listed below, plus an incredibly long list of OEM parts. 

Note: this project bike is not affiliated with Travis Pastrana or his sponsors. It was built for Racer X Illustrated and we are more than grateful that Pastrana agreed to ride it for our video. Thanks, Travis!
