Suzuki RM125 1975

The RM125 debuted in 1975 to replace the production motocrosser TM. It was introduced as a production version of the works machine RA75 on which Gaston Rahier won the 125cc World Motocross GP championship in the same year. From 1975 to 1984, Suzuki dominated this class 10 years in a row with Gaston Rahier, Akira Watanabe, Harry Everts, Eric Geboers and Michele Rinaldi. The RM125 was a successful forerunner of future RM series line-up extended from 50cc to 500cc. The air-cooled 2-stroke single cylinder 123cc engine produced 23ps at 10,500rpm. The exhaust pipe of the first generation RM125 was placed under the engine like TM.
