Been looking for a nice two stroke 250 for a while now and found this 94 RM250 for $950 that I picked up today. It runs awesome and is actually in really nice shape. Previous owner did the top end and wheel bearings, sprockets, plus put on some new fenders.

What's everyone think?

It's needs some odds and ends here and there but a great deal I believe!

The RM had a strong motor and a good chassis that year, but you're probably gonna hate the forks.

Is the VIN number on this bike stamped somewhere else besides the sticker on the frame behind the front fender? I'm thinking this should be stamped somewhere but I don't know where to start looking.

It's sometimes also in the frame that runs under the motor.

What's so bad about the forks? I absolutely love the suspension on my 94 rm125. Feels better than my crf250

They were too flexible.

Suzuki actually went back to standard "right side up" forks for a couple of years until they figured it out.

What are you going to do with it? If you've got any interest in some x-country racing, check out "vintage hare scramble" on facebook. They run a 10 race series all over south central PA, and the modern class allows up to '94.

By the way, you got a steal. Most riders in that series are having to pay much more for much older rides...

Hman144, thank you! I;m just planning to putt around, nothing serious. I'm too old now for any kind of racing! It's been 30 years since I last rode (83 YZ125) so I'm just looking to get out and play around a little and hopefully get that youthful feeling back like when I owned the YZ! :-)

Dude you don't know what you're missing. I haven't ridden much the last few years, and haven't raced in over 10. I'm just over 50, and did some for the first time last season. Had a ball. These "races" are as much of a race as you make them- it's mostly just a bunch of older guys out having fun in the woods. Plus if you're a fan of old dirt bikes, you get to see some really cool iron and bench race with some like minded folks. (Some guys doing that series are 60+) A couple stops on the series get within an hour or two of you. You should check it out.
