I've always been a fan of this RM look.



But for the newer bikes, it will be difficult to beat this look. (as many others have also said)

The RC edition I slick and clean but over used. I like to see more original builds of bikes that are more original like quicknick and a few others on this thread..... Love seeing all the bikes people put so much time and attention into!

Unless that second picture is a Chinese Suzuki, I'd say it might be a TM.

@ Sully.....thanks man for the kind words about the bike! I am thinking of keeping it a Makita replica , but am going to slap the #503 on there here soon. I've got to locate some black fork guards as well. Just like the look of them better. Hope to get the suspension done here in a few weeks too. I weigh about 185lbs and it's set up for a 130lb kid.....was kind of brutal with the suspension.

How about Mickaël Pichon's -01 factory 250? God, I wish I could get a set of these Corona graphics...

All the currant model Suzuki fork guards fit Jeffro. I like the RMZ guards more without the slider guides.

I've found most graphics fit the UFO style fork guards but I like the Acerbis/OEM RMZ style more. They're also a bit longer in length than the UFO guards.

I really like the full size side plates - IMO they don't need to be cut.
And the way most people cut them is so awful looking.

Someone already posted the green ECC bike so here is the red one.

I am in the process of updating my RMZ 450 for this upcoming season. I am getting rid of my black wheels and getting a set of yellow wheels, with uncolored billet hubs.

Also, I am I huge fan of recreating old themed graphics onto new bikes. AktivMX, the graphic company that I use, does a great job of recreating whatever they need to do. That being said, I am looking at a few different options right now. 1998 Factory Suzuki, because I think it looks clean and nice. 2002 Sobe Suzuki, because I have never seen someone recreate that. 1997 McGrath Suzuki of Troy... he was my idol growing up, and I thought it would be cool to have that kit on a new bike. I actually think its kind of ugly, but cool at the same time.

What other cool RM's in the past would be neat to use as a reference for a new kit?










I'm so sick of Black rims I'm about to Puke everytime I see them, Gold and Yellow Rock and Rule! Anything but Black!

Some black rims are okay but I'm very picky on which bike there on, like the new KTM 2 strokes with black rims, not the biggest fan of them.

That looks awesome! The 86-88 RMs with the blue frames and engines are by far my favorite. That bike looks sweet!

I would pay so much money for that bike. Just wow.
These are my two favourites in here. But the RMZ front fender on the RC replica bugs me a bit since Carmichael didn't ride with that fender. It's cleaner looking, but a replica is a replica.

I want an RM, if only for the front fender and number plate off the RMZ. The RC replica is mint. Love it.
