That thing is awesome. Did I miss something, or is there not a price listed?

Would be afraid to buy anything from someone that can't even spell Los Angeles when it's spelled correctly right in the top of his own ad. But still sweet bike.

From what I've observed, that'd be 95% of the people on this board.

That is a beautiful bike, but it is not like it is Barnett's works RH Suzuki...

I have a very clean fully restored '81 RM125 in my garage, paid about 1/4 of what he wants for the '82 version.

Best of luck to the seller, maybe he will find someone who wants one bad enough to cough up the dough?

what was the original sticker price of that bike??? looks like he's asking twice as much... do used RM's really double in price in twenty eight years?? will a 2010 RM450 sell for 16k in 2038??

but really...... very sweet and clean looking bike.... has the uber full floating suspension on it......

I think I paid $1,300 for my '82 RM125 when it was new. Great bike.

With a high price like that, you would think he would use some justification or details on why he wants that much money.

"Like new" is a great start, but to find a "like new" MX bike almost 30 years after it was really new has to have some kind of story to go with the history of where it has been for 28 years.

Or is it just a nicely done restoration? Either way, some additional details would help make the asking price more realistic.

Or maybe it was just a typo and he really only wants $595? I better call just to make sure I am dreaming.....

The retail on an '82 RM125 was about $1650, give or take a few. If he gets that price , he'll be doing good.

I think I will list our 1971 Kawasaki G31M Greenstreak for $10K and see what happens.

He definitely left a few things out of the ad....

I know the bike, and It was put together with suitcase full of cash, an obsessive mind, and a truck load of new old stock parts from around the world. Even the things that top restoration shops would just re plate or repaint were replace with NOS.

The bike is brand new!
