1986 Suzuki RM250 Motocross Test Review 

Strange I found that year Suzuki an absolute dog. Couldn’t touch a Honda or Yamaha

Thank you for watching

88 was the only good rm250 since the 82, and i'm restoring an 88 right now.

@@andreawhalen4142I’ve got one down here launches out of the gate like u wouldn’t believe 🚀👍🇦🇺

@@jamieteal2107 I'm an open class heavy modded class rider no 250 amazes me nor is quick to me, ill finish this rm just because i like it but i had already experienced about every japanese 250 made in the 80's and 90's for the majority of those years the cr's where quickest, 95cr's in particular would keep pace with an open bike for a bit. I want to build this rm because it's the bike"Bob Hannah built" and has more in common with the 84 cr factory bike than even honda's own bikes, bob knew what honda did to make the power and gladly shared it, it still took suzuki 3model years to produce it though. I bought a brand new 85rm250 back then, and it was a total pos and ate roost like a glutton.

@@andreawhalen4142 who cares

Thanks! 👍

Carlsbad .... Mr. Holland 💪 passing the world champion Jacky Vimond

I will try and do more in the future but it’s hard to find a lot of information on them now.

@@TheMotocrossVault I understand that. I guess I was just seeing if you had any interest in doing such.

Thanks 👍

Best fender ever. Some day I will back date an 89 to a duck bill

Great suggestion!

?? The 89’s were dogs

Thanks for proving you don't know chit.@@stevesmith756

Seems to me that he has.

Same to you!

I’m working on a banshee history video right now

Great 😊

Looking forward to the Banshee review 😁👊🏻

Yes I am for sure

This design was only used in 1986. The AETC was a new system introduced in 1987 that introduced a HPP style guillotine valve instead of the ATAC style exhaust chamber used in 1986.

@@TheMotocrossVault Ah ok mines an 88 so that makes sense, i owned an 85 and was so disappointed in the bike i jettisoned rm's for cr's until in the early 90's i had a chance to ride a friends 88rm and wow what a difference that 85 was a slug, my brothers 84 cr would melt it and it broke non stop, in fact it never did stop overheating. I spent every dime i made back then trying to make that 85 rm as quick as the 84 cr. Others had problems with 84 cr's pistons, my brothers never missed a beat and it was a beast, i just hated honda back then is all.

88 was a great bike even though it had a outdated look at the time, tike you said. I also have a 89 and think they would have been better bikes if they would have continued developing the 88 engine, instead of the case reed 250’s that followed.

@@brokenchainmx4350 Exactly! Btw I did some jetting for my client and friend who has an 89 fitted with Vforce Reed , Pro Circuit exhaust, copycat Pwk carb and flywheel weight. It’s very strong and usable .
