    Wow amazing. £1025 hate to think of how many thousands of man hours. Amazed at how many different skills that are needed to take on a project like this. Great work.
  • @leejonesNPT
    Great work again, and at a bargain price for a change😂. You could sell that at a handsome profit but i know you won’t. Looking forward to the next RM project from this batch.

    It’s all extraordinary, but man, the plastics, again, outstanding

    I am completely envious. This 250 is the legend of the early 1980’s!! You could holeshot a moto against factory bikes no problem. Great job on the restoration, it came out magnificent!!!

    I was already missing the updates, but now this masterpiece of a video restauration made me very happy. Greetings from AN Austrian fan!

    Brought back a lot of memories here, amazing work well worth the effort in saving the bike and its parts <3
  • Wow,brings back memories. I brought one brand new in 1982 from my local dealer for £1299. It was an absolute rock out of the gate. I got many wins and holeshots on it. Well done on the restoration. 👏👏👏
  • Used to go and watch these race against Yamahas, Hondas, KTMs and Kawasakis and the odd Maico at Hawkstone Park UK back in the 80's they were always a favourite, it's fantastic to see one so beautifully restored on a budget. What you did with those plastics was nothing short of a miracle. Can't wait to see what's next on the agenda

    I’ve restored a few ‘80’s and 90’s bikes over the years and know the cost and time they take. To do this for around $1900 AUD is incredible. Certainly helps having a well set up workshop and great diy mechanical skills. Absolute credit to you mate!!

    Mr Suzuki would be so proud 👏, well done, incredibly outstanding work, regards from Australia 🇦🇺.
  • It is therapeutic watching this bike come back to life,a great base to start with, also your skill set is very broad also a great education on how to go about saving one! I had a 83'125RM fond memories from 40yrs ago, Saving one bike at a time,well done!
  • @Robbthelytt

  • @sideast

    my first dirt bike was a 1983 rm 250 which I used for trail riding, and enduro racing.(lights run off a battery, and made up number plate). looking at the tank, and rad scoops on that one, i think mine may have been a 1982. it looks like I got conned back in 1987. anyhoo... i've had lots of dirt bikes since, and raced enduro up to 2006. I never experienced suspension as good as that one. I had one kx 250(1987),, three cr250's,(1992, 1996, and the beast 1998. Also a gas gas ec 250 2001( road legal finally). None of them even came close to the suspension of the old RM. great job with the restoration.
