You feel free to correct me, but I dont think the RM 125, from the year 2000, featured the flowered seat tape.

I thought that was back in 81 or 82?

2000' RM125 What does the 2000 feet refer to? The length of the last burn out?

The lesson here is just because it doesn't have valves doesn't make it 'a sweet 2s'.

I've been riding new KTM 2 strokes since '07 before it was cool and I swear the 2 stroke fanatics around here make me want to ride a 6 stroke just to get as far away as possible.

I think that's either an 82' or 83'? It is NOT a 2000!

This is a 2000......




This is an 82-83'.......



This is an 84 RM 125.....and even it is different from the CL ad.

Part of the suspension linkage.
Actually the 81-85 Full Floater suspension was/is regarded as one of the best to ever roll off a MX assembly line. Properly valved it will work every bit as well as today's rear suspension systems.

I'd guess that bike is an 83. Reed valve so it's not an 81, not a blue framed 84, and the 82 had steel linkage struts- that one has aluminum struts like the 83 did.

Jeffro- that's an 85 with the disk brake. Otherwise identical to the drum braked 84.

You are correct, Matt. Yellow paint on the forks says 1983.
Jeffro's second pic is an '83 as well.

Gold wheels and gray engine (along with the aforementioned disc brake) indicates an '85.

None of you know what you're talking about.

The ad clearly states that it is a 2000 foot Sazuki. I don't know where you are getting all of this '82, '83, '85, 2000 nonsense.
