@flyinbryan1619 You may be right, I raced motocross for 20 years and took a few blows to the head so my memory isn't what it use to be. Thanks for setting me straight. I do know I started racing the Suzuki RM 125 in 1978 and moved to the 250 in 79 and 80, 81 then went to the Honda CR 250 in 82, my senior year in high school. Thanks again. Jerry

@TheJer1963 nope, the 79 was the one with the squared rear fender. i had several and im looking at the 79 rm sales brochure right now.

I remember this bike well as I raced one in back in the day. You could buy a brand new one for $1,000. That was a lot of money then.It was the 1980 that had the flat, square rear fender. Never liked it at all.

My 79 RM125 still runs like it's brand new, I bored and rebuilt it some years back and it runs like a 175cc. Only thing now is that the muffler fell off and I need to find a new one, also I think the idle jet is too large, when driving up hills it sucks so much gas and struggles even in first gear.

brings back the good days as that was my first rm i had in 1987
