DeCoster and Dungey.

Although RD5 didn't race pro one a 125, he has LL Schoolboy title to his name in 05. Just as the transitions to four strokes happened and he's of age to turn pro, he never had an opportunity to race a 125.

Just to debunk any urban legends about The Man watching a young Ryan Dungey audition on an RM125 for a highly coveted factory ride. Unless someone has those lost tapes? lol I kid Wink

Roczen never raced on RM 125s. Went straight to a 250 from the 85. At the age of 13

For some reason I thought Roczen raced an RM 125 at a GP. Possibly a KTM 125?

Mike Larocco!

Didn't Narita have a short battle with Pastrana at a mud race and then get on the podium but couldn't speak American so just pulled crazy faces? At least that's how I remember it.

Ok well my all time favorite was Tony Lorusso dominating New England for 2 decades on the RM125. Even beating the guys on 250F's
This bike was built for him
LORUSSO VIDEO NO MUSIC

I think it was Milleville around 2000-2001. Narita and Pastrana were flying. I think Kelly Smith May have given KTM a big win that day but I might be mixing up the years.

Saw he was mentioned, but Broc Hepper was blisteringly fast on an RM80 and RM125.

In District 5 we used to joke that Broc's dad controlled his bike with a remote control and Broc just hung on because none of us kids understood how he went so fast. He sure was an inspiration to all of us in Pennsylvania's District 5.

I can still picture him railing the sawdust/dirt berms of Pleasure Valley MX.

Nathan Ramsey had good rides on the rm125 that led to factory rides.
