This is video slidshow I put together covering the history of Suzuki's motocross machines from 1968 through 2018. It covers only the models offered here in the US only. I am aware some models and years differ around the world so keep that in mind.. This video covers the RM, TM, and RM-Z series of machines from 50cc to 500cc.
Was intrigued to see the 1976 RM 100 had a mud flap on the front , as standard, always assumed the one on mine was an add on by the first owner , who funnily enough, tracked me down on FB recently after not seeing him for 35 years.
Its basically a KX100 with yellow plastic and Zook decals.
The Shop
Brother had a 2005 RMZ/KXF 250 and he would switch plastics from time to time and people were gullible enough to believe he had 2 bikes.
My brother had a RM65 at the time, made by Kawasaki.
And my dad worked at Kawasaki, with a bunch of Suzuki quads around.
Kawasaki really stepped up the 250F game when they ditched Suzuki in 2006. Sorry Tyler, the early Zook 250Fs sucked.
This was a revival, I do not remember what it was, I think last year I did not know which race, maybe Assen or Lommel...
What a brand. I cant wait to see their upcoming models. Suzuki is not dead.
Green LT-A400 quads and DR-Z400s
Yellow KX100s and KX65s
