Its a shame that Suzuki dropped its 2 stroke line. This generation of the RM250 was the best line of bikes that Suzuki ever produced. With a few minor upgrades, these bikes would be competitive with modern 250's.

there were plans to make the latest generation suzuki frames accept the old 2 stroke motors, only requiring a single small adapter on one of the engine mounts... and somehow the project was scrapped from the guys up above, but there are some articles and pictures available online... i think the underlying problem is the factory doesn’t have the necessary requirements to reproduce the two stroke frames or engines (to provide continued replacement parts support)

See there boys 2 strokes will come back. Everyone loves them .

Best sounding bike ever made. I love the video of carmichael and Pastrana doing SX practice on RM 250s

RM is great platform, YZ’s are always my first choice and RM’s follow closely. I love that build, sounds solid. Lots of hot stuff on that bike. I am two stroke fan for life, keep the videos. 👍🏼

Just some extra info, in the same month, Ive ridden RCs 250 in Florida, CRs YZ250 in Sydney Australia and the last ever (#00999) 2008 KX250R8 to leave the Kawasaki heavy industries factory in Japan (63hp/61nm@8000) along with a number of additional factory fitted extras at its owners race facility in Perth, Australia, and what I can say is - all post 2002 250cc two strokes that have modern intergrated powervalves, don't have any where near such lag as 4strokes, as when you dump the throttle...they GO, especially those with Vforce reeds and PC pipes fitted..which is why they are nicknamed 'stingers'...

Love to see him try to lap that track quicker on a 4 stroke. I think he be trying for a long time. That bike is awsome.

I always put a flywheel weight on all the 2 strokes , its not just for offroad. Alwsys do reeds, pipe and silencer 's too !

It’s the flywheel weight that gets the traction to the ground

I want to seen you build the oldest bike that can rip a modern track! Like the first yamaha monoshock.

What sounds better than a 2 stroke on the pipe?😎

Suzuki are barely making 4 strokes, so I highly doubt they'll ever make a 2 stroke again. Unfortunately suzuki are struggling big time at the moment, their bikes haven't been updated properly for years, they have no factory team in Europe, and no official factory team in the USA. Unless someone injects a serious amount of cash into suzuki's mx bike program I don't think we'll see them around for much longer. It's a real shame, I loved my '03 RM125's. I was sponsored by a suzuki dealership in' 03,and was given 3 bikes for the year. The stock practice bike was awesome, explosive power on the bottom end and she handled like a dream with just a set of Renthals and the stock suspension setup properly. The race bike was on another level completely. It was almost too fast. The RM was definitely my favourite of the brands I rode for, and I still have the race bike from that year!

How did they get seven more horsepower I want to know for my 08
