It's not a museum piece, but here's my 97. I stupidly sold it two months ago and the idiot seized it up two days later. It was a giant piece of shit when I got it, but when I was done it was a reliable and nice running bike. Wish to god I'd kept it. I love RM250's.

I agree.
While I think that yellow is the best colour for a dirt bike, white kinda suits RM's too.

My 2004 RM 250. More details are in my bike check. It's on its second rebuild. Bought it from the original owner with about 25-30 hours on it total at the end of 2013, fully rebuilt it, and put 22.4 hours on it over the last year (as of 10/29/14).

I've never had a bike so dialed in before... The motor is perfect with the PC pipe and Boyesen reeds. Suspension is excellent and set up perfectly for outdoor MX as well as tighter tracks. This bike is one that I will never sell; In 3-4 years, I'll probably try to pick up a KTM 250sx to take its place, and then I'll frame it, fog the motor, and display it in my man cave.

I'm building a Chevy Trucks factory replica 2002 KX125 now, I may end up selling that to fund the purchase of an RM125 Smile depends how it turns out!

I love the clean OEM look. If this look would gain popularity it would put a lot of fly-by-night graphics companies out of business.
