Subway Honda's had some good bikes almost bought one of JTs bikes since we were the same height.
This was Fox before is became a clothing company
Fox was first to do water cooling. They made their own water cooled head and mounted that to a steering head radiator and a screen numberplate. No water pump, used what's known as "thermosiphon" (simply put, heat rises, cooler falls).
Fox revolutionized suspension with the infamous Fox Airs, that even the factories used, the massive Simons forks and so much more.
People forget that Fox was originally a suspension/performance company
Almost won a National the first time out with that water cooler RM.
Almost all of their riders, later became top factory guys and/or champions

The Eleven10 mods bikes looked so fast, but I wouldn't consider that a privateer bike.
Loved watching them ride
Tichenors blue RM was cool.
Those Noleen Yamahas were factory beaters that year for sure.
Larry Ward 2001 Red Bud on the MotoXXX YZ250F would also be a candidate. He ripped it that summer. 3 overall podiums. Was having a sneaky good 2002 125ESX season, too, before injury.
In a time where Pro Circuit engines dominated the 250 class, I never thought I would see one of these Hondas roll past a PC bike on a straight with the rider looking and waving at the same time.
Honda only came calling once he started winning.
