A little pricey but dam those 2 rm's look brand new ...owned by ex motocross champ, wonder who that is? Still its rare to see one in this good of shape let alone 2 identical bikes any collectors out there?

I think thats a pretty good price for the condition those bikes are in. $2500 for the pair is a great deal.

The car in the background looks a bit newer than 94

I didnt realize till just now he didnt leave a link to email him at so I called him and left a voicemail......for those that couldnt see the ad bec I posted the link from my phone here it is again and it should work this time

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/mcy/2131103298.html

I found these because im going to be shopping for an 01 and up RM125 to go with my RM250's ....hopefulle find one with a siezed top end bec it would be cheap and as soon as I get my hands on one im going to Eric Gorr for a full on 144 kit ported and ready to rip. Just sounds like an awesome bike to ride a little moto on. I actually got Eric on the phone, he is an awesome dude that knows his 2 strokes and took time to talk with me about them after he was closed. He gave me all the info I needed to get the right year RM125 and Eric if you post or look on here I really appreciate your time!! Ill be picking up one of your kits as soon as I get the bike....cant wait!!

HAHAHA Google brought this up when I was searching for something unrelated,they're in my garage ( enclosed trailer cuz its been to busy work wise to unload everything) I bought them when we were in Ocotillo and I bought a sweet mint condition 03 CR85 from him too! Got all 3 for $3500 and he met me in Palm Springs. His name was Todd Campbell and he was super nice, and he takes GREAT care of his stuff!! He's now a cop, and thank God for that because when I was test riding them on some nobody road by a bunch of non-op wind generators and I mean a huge field of em, I had rode the 85, and one of the 125's.
Finally I'm going to ride the last 125, I've been going approx a thousand feet down the road, then turning around and coming straight back just to get through the gears, Then on the last run, here's a cop waiting for me at the end of my turnaround, I pull over, tell him I'm from MN, and that I'm buying some bikes I found on Craig's.
He looks at me with the "Your full of BS" look but lets me go back slowly to the trucks to check out my story. As were heading back I notice there's a chopper hovering over us, That cant be for me I'm thinking!!! He checks us out , scolds us, then Todd kicks in that he's a cop which I didn't know until then either.
The cop chews him a bit then proceeds to rudely tell us to get f out of there and how lucky we were to not get a ticket, 500 dollar ticket non the less!!!
After he leaves I ask Todd if he though the cop had called in the chopper for me? He says no doubt about it, most kids just pin it and try to outrun the cops so they call in a heli to make sure they cant get away!!! I understood right then that cali had their heads up their u now what if they are calling a chopper to catch kids on dirt sickles!!! No wonder they're broke!!!
Any how, that's my story, he was a great guy and the bikes were solid 8's or even 9's and were a BLAST to ride!! I will be restoring them to factory fresh with some new graphics, a new fork guard, and a new grip on one and then they get mothballed as there aren't any like this out there any more! He said they were given to a friend of his from Suzuki as a gift after the 94 season and the guy had only rode them like 5 times, every warning sticker and everything is still present.

The 125's of that generation were awesome.. The 250 on the other hand was a twitching unbalanced death trap, at least IMO
