The Finishing Touches - 1992 RM250 Restoration - Episode 26 

Hands down the best restoration video I’ve ever watched, can’t wait for the CR build now.

I had 89 rm 250 just out of college. I used to day dream about a complete restoration all the time! Love the old RMS!

I found your channel by dumb luck, shortly after aquiring a 1992 RM250 listed as free on the local Craigslist. Complete and in very good condition for the price,the previous owner had given up after not getting spark and a healthy amount of money spent in the process. I had not even considered riding bikes again after a serious crash twenty years ago had pretzeled the forks on my RM400 and compressed two vertebrae in my back,but the arrival of the 250 and the recent retirement from work sparked the dormant need to roost!! Now after just completing the restoration of my 3rd dirtbike (the '92 RM250,a "82 Husqvarna 250CR swedish left-kicker basket case, and a '97 Honda CR250 needing very little repair, I realize the videos you produced in the series on your RM250 and the detail and precision you applied motivated viewers to strive for perfection and persevere through the setbacks and keep your eye on the goal. The end result is worth all the effort and a source of pride that cannot be bought at any price. Thank you.sir,and keep the fire stoked!

Great example of going the extra mile to preserve originality, as much as possible.

I've never owned, ridden or worked on a motorbike of any kind (mopeds don't count right lol) but watching this entire series has been a real pleasure. Thank you so much for your efforts!

How do you not have 100,000 subs. Your content is so amazing and well put together. Best RU-vid channel 100% man. Amazing work.

Well worth watching, just about to restore an old XR, thanks for the encouragement!

Yep , i have to agree with many who have posted before .... this is a restoration is on a level most guys can't even comprehend . Absolutely incredible attention to detail though out the entire build . Congratulations , it looks amazing !!!!

Give this man A award

I literally come back here every couple months to re-watch this series. So satisfying to watch you do your thing. Can’t wait for more and hope you’re staying safe.

The bike looks absolutely fantastic I'll for sure be coming to have a look at this when it's on show, your attention to detail and knowledge are second to none and I doubt there is a better example of a 1992 rm250 in the world! On another note perhaps before you start the CR resto you could do a video of the bikes you have restored in the past and currently own, I'm sure a man like yourself has quite the collection.

So I’ve just finished binge watching the entire build for the RM250. I can honestly say I’ve never seen a better build series period. The attention to detail, literally down to the smallest screw is simply incredible. You should be very satisfied with what you’ve done here. Suzuki need to buy this for their heritage museum!

I literally ignored the majority of people and work and watched all 26 episodes in a single day. How do you not have a million subs is beyond me but thank you for your time, dedication, and outright genius on this. What a beautiful, beautiful job. Gives me a lot of inspiration for my 1987 and 98 RM125 builds.

I have been following for months... I'm almost sad it's done... very satisfying is see this bike come together, I can't wait to watch the cr be restored. keep the videos coming!!!

11:15 - there it is... I was watching closely for it. Honestly, this is the best youtube series that I have ever seen. It isn't just the nostalgia of my 1992 RM 250. The care and attention to detail that you put into the build is inspiring. I also really enjoyed the fabrication that you did. Don't have a specific tool, just build one. Don't have the proper carburetor inlet, here's an old brass bolt, let's fabricate one. You are very talented! Congratulations on such an amazing rebuild!

Best series ever on anything. Don't stop!

I can't put it into words. I'll say a simple modest awesome. Just brilliant. Almost forgot... tanks for sharing.

Simply the best restoration video on RU-vid! Have been amazed since you posted the first episode on dirt bike world. Thank you for the passion and talent.

Hands down the best rebuild series out there. Can't wait to see what's in store next!

Well.... To sum it up; Amazing attention to detail, amazing machining, amazing photography. WOW. Well done.

Best looking 90s 2 stroke by far💯👍

I never see before a restoration like this, I'm impress by all details and home made parts ! Now she's brand new like 27 years ago in a Suzuki brand store. Congrat from France man

This is without a doubt the best restoration series on youtube. Others should watch this to see what a thorough build is. My god man your attention to detail is enviable

I have never seen before such an amazing work! I've been watching every episode since the first one, I'm so excited to see the cr 250 build! Greetings from Uruguay and keep it going!

Wow mate! I've just spent the last couple of days watching every single episode from start to finish! Simply brilliant!!

It's always a big pleasure to see this RM and your videos in general. Suzuki should give you a prize for the job done, this bike is worthy of a museum, seriously ! Can't believe that now you'r moving onto the cr, which is basically the same bike as mine, will be even more interresting to watch. P.s. I'd be glad if you want to come give a look at my 1992 cr 250 and 1998 kx 125 on my channel... Inspired by you I restored the Kx as oem looking as I could, not a super detailed work like yours, but still pretty accurate and qualitative, unfortunately I didn't made a video abut it resto, but some day I will put toghether a photo slideshow of the work, it took months...

A big thanks for sharing the quality work on this RM250, from across the pond in the US North Carolina mountains.

Definitely setting the standard both for build quality and filming. Inspiring stuff.

This is no doubt one of the best restoration video.

This is the holy grail of bike restos. Incredibly well done. Can't wait to hear this bad boy fire up!

I was hoping to hear that baby fire up...Awesome build can't wait for the next

Absolutely beautiful! You should be very proud. Not too many people have the patience to do something like this.

How i wish i can ride a bike like this.... Wow!!! GOD bless us all... Thanks brother..

Wow that thing is beautiful!! When I was a kid that bike was the holy Grail of dirt bikes! Great video series! Can't wait to see more!

Wow, that turned out nothing short of SPECTACULAR 🙌🏼 👏🏼👌🏼Congratulation, this has got to be one of the best build videos I have ever watched, your attention to the smallest detail simply sets you apart from the rest. Thanks for sharing this build with us, I'm looking forward to enjoying many more of your projects 👍🏼

I have enjoyed watching all 26 of these episodes, what a skilled craftsman you are! 10 out 10 on this series!

No joke this is my 3rd time watching this build from start to finish and it still blows me away. Absolutely stunning restoration man, i really do hope you have another planned for the channel.

Best decal application method I've ever seen. Love this series.

One of the best restoration projects I have ever seen, congrats man, well done you did the bike justice, I was riding a CR250 at the time so was not a fan of this bike in 92, but from the start you have made me a fan of the 92 Edition, just stunning, really appreciate that era more these days, I think possibly you made that bike better than new, can wait to hear it fire up. Thanks for producing a stunning series, looking fwd to the next project.🤙

Bike is amazing! You have raised the bar for making videos. Perfect camera work, just the right amount of narrative and pleasing music to just whatch your craftsmanship at work.

Totally agree with attention to detail! Your spot on ! I just finished a similar build with 93 wr 250, stripped an rebuilt down to every single bolt! It’s a good feeling!!!

Wait... CR250 comming up???? BEST FUCKING CHANNEL THERE IS!

I got the same bike 92 and it’s hands down best bike played around on from all the rest

Amazing work! Can’t wait to see the CR250!!

I'm in the UK just stumbled across this I'm looking at getting a rm 1990 I have got to say this is the most interesting and comprehensive strip down and re-build I have ever seen ...your craftsmanship and attention to detail is staggering. Well done man I love restoring things myself. You have showed me that next level ..love it do another...

This series has been addictive. Superb restoration. When fitting engines or heads and barrels into freshly painted frames try protecting the frame with lengths of plumbers foam pipe insulation. Its cheap and reusable. Great job mate.

You gotta start it, that suspense is going to drive us all crazy.

Absolutely Outstanding. As a fellow aficionado of Japanese 2 strokes, this is pure art. I subbed!

Amazing. I'm just finishing watching this series and cannot wait to see it get kicked over. I'm just starting my first build-nothing special mind you-but your videos have made it so clear how much time and effort can go into creating something so beautiful and I'm going to have to revisit some of the things I've let slide because I thought "eh, who'll notice". Truly inspiring.

You have done an amazing job! Beautifully put together with incredible attention to detail! Loved watching this build.

Wonderful ....simply wonderful ...loved each part of the series

I concur with most of the comments, the attention to detail is at another level, really enjoyable series of videos

Much love and respect for the work you have done. I can't wait to her running. This is coming from non dirt bike rider, I just appreciate the art and attention to details.

Great work! Looks like it just rolled of the production line!

Wow!! Gave me goose bumps seeing it finished. Well done mate :)

Still watching for a video from you. Can’t wait to see the cr

Superb job Glenn, all episodes were great to watch and also a guide restoring my own 1992 RM. Dont forget the unleaded fuel only decal between the tank and steering stern😉.

Absolutely insane, Truly a labor of love. Well done!

Great job on the bike. The whole series was fun to watch. Hope you do another one soon

👌🎉Very very good I followed all the videos of the restoration, congratulations for the production. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

What a transformation. Amazing work !!!

Congratulations on the project! pretty! a true documentary. will be the basis for many restorations! It looked like it was out of the shop today!

Stunning.......top work, cant wait till the next project

The RM looks amazing! well done!

Whoa! This bike is amazing!

As others have said one of the best builds on you tube,can't wait for the next one

Absolutely awesome work mate, congrats on finishing it! Can't wait to see the CR resto.

amazing build, unbelievable. Cant wait to try that 2 tape application process! good idea with the application sheet on there too, i always end up with a few scratches on mine from pressing so hard installing them. keep the vids coming!!!

Awesome project! Looking foreward to the next rebuild :)

You’re a perfectionist and I love it. A job well done! Bring on the CR

Best restoration project i have seen. Thanks

This is what I have waited for!

I am so glad i didnt find this till it was done... binge watched the lot, great content, great build, great bike. And so well edited, i will even cut you slack for the music.We did an 89 125 , on a budget , to race and had a ball, this shows what can be done with patience and a bit (well a lot) of money. Subbed . Cant wait for the CR build

Mate, the best vids ive seen on youtube for ages. I watched the whole series in 1 day. This channel is going to be huge. Keep up the great work and I cant wait for the next resto!!

It's a thing of beauty, mate.

So satisfying! Beautiful work.

I just watched every episode as if it was a Netflix series. I got hooked! Man I loved it! Can’t wait to see the CR 250 series! Season 2 for me haha

Looks fantastic! Great job!

Can't wait for the CR! Really enjoyed every episode... Great job!

Incredible build! Love seeing hammered bikes given a second chance

Can’t wait to see some more restoration videos they look so good

Perfection and worthy of any collector love your work forever inspireing 👏🏼

Such an amazing job the finished result looks worth the effort thanks for sharing the whole journey

Well done! Now Suzuki probably want to buy the bike back;)

Congratulations MR. G9Garage! was a awesome restauration process and nice RM250.

Pure Talent ! Cant wait for next project.

Fantastic Job! Have really enjoyed the whole series 👍

amazing job !! thanks for all videos

This is a museum quality restoration second to none. It will be a shame once you fire it up and it gets dirty.

Amazing build mate, awesome seeing you make parts and tools. I only hope my 01 yz 250 comes up half as good.

Amazing work, a true restortation

Excellent work you are an exemple

Great job! Well done mate

Just completed watching all the episodes. That’s a kind of dedication you put on to something you truly love. Really enjoyed them. Thanks!! -From Nepal 🇳🇵

Congrats on the rebuild, it turned out amazing. I bought myself a 98' RMX250 because of your repair videos. Hope to have some fun on restoring mine also

Loved your dedication and perseverance... great work

I must say, you do the best, most thorough work of anybody I've ever seen! As a new subscriber, all I can say is.... Bravo!!!!

Another nice build✊🏻

Beautiful work mate, well done ! I am half way through a 2005 KLR650 resto / build and I have a Yamaha XJ650 waiting patiently for me to finish the Kawa. Thanks for the inspiration not to rush and do things right. All the very best for your future builds. Subscribed and locked in, in anticipation of your future projects. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍🏻

Beautiful mate, congratulations.
