1978 SUZUKI RM125 A 

I loved that old logo they had on the gas tank. A guy in my riding area had a RM370 back in the mid 70’s that was an accident waiting to happen especially with him on it.

That is a bad mamma-jamma!!! Makes me miss my first real MX bike, '79 RM80N. My dad and uncle took us to LA/Disneyland on the train. When I found out it was in Anaheim, I saved my pennies to buy a swingarm and gears from DG. The old, small shop with the full glass front. Actually purchased the parts from Gary H. I was 11-12 at most, and he spent 20-30 minutes talking with me about the gearing mods, track types. Nothing better than a kid with a roll of wadded up bills, some spare room in a suitcase, and a mission for speed. Thanks for reminding me of a damn good memory.

mx history right there, suzuki rm125s ruled 70s early 80s , 10 mx 125 world GP championships all in a row, the best bikes ever

My brother and I each had one. Great bikes and pretty quick! My dad was a pharmacist and had a pristine yard. One pass through on the pipe and we would rip it up and get our ass's chewed hahaha!!

Probably the greatest all-around 125 engine, it was great in the woods, and screamed on the track. Basically the same as the pe175 that was only slightly modified for better low speed riding.

Omg look at that!!! What a sound!!!! A big part of motocross history right there in one machine!!!!

I remember they were the first long travel Suzuki and everone wanted one for racing

I absolutely love the collection of dirt bikes Kaplan Cycles

Growing up, I always rode other people's dirtbikes, since I couldn't afford my own dirtbike. My first personal bike was a Mint 1982 or 1983...I can't remember the exact year, Suzuki RM 125, that I bought in 1992 for $800 which was a great deal. It had low hours on it, and also had a radiator. That is one gorgeous 2 stroke vintage mx bike.

We must have different model designation in Australia. I had that exact model RM, which was the last twin shock RM125 here. But that twin shock 1978 model was a RM125 C here

Stunning graphics 👌

So awesome 👌!!!!

So much character so awesome 😮❤

That is a rm 125 C

I had a 78 RM125 Ken and it had an aluminium tank on it. The one here is plastic , so someone must've replaced the original tank. Personally I prefer an aluminum tank because with a plastic tank decals won't stay on very well , they bubble up and peel off. Caused by the gas fumes bleeding through the plastic plus the gas fumes will make the yellow pigment in the plastic become a brownish yellow after several years.

what time warp am I from.. I was only talk about 125 cc . I understand different capacities had different upgrades. But as I remember the RM125C was the last twin shock in that capacity

I had one of these back in 78 now i ride a 2000 model ha ya I'm an simi old guy would love to compare the suspension especially the forks cuz my 2000 has some really stiff forks

Sweeeet bike

I have the same bike and it is beat to shit!

The RM 125 A was a 1976 model
