  • This is a look back at Suzuki's all-new RM125 motocrosser for 2001. This is the first year for the design that would become the last for Suzuki's legendary 125 machine. This machine would take Travis Pastrana to the 2001 125 East Supercross title and almost power him to a second 125 national outdoor title before a series of concussions derailed his title defense.

      What state? That's dope I see a 98 in Cali for 2300 obo and nobody is biting but it supposedly is already rebuilt. I ended up getting an 01 CR125 instead.

    Blazer, l owned Suzuki 2001 RM125, and it was definitely the best DirtBike that l ever owned.... Something magic about this Model 2001 Suzuki RM125, and the only flaw about the 2001 Suzuki RM125 are the transmission shift forks..
    Tony, thanks for devoting this video to only 2001 Suzuki RM125 👍

    My favorite race bike of all time was the 01 RM 125. That bike was good at everything and I was faster on it than my yz400f! The only downside was the durability of the machine, I recall going through several clutches and cylinders (due to porous casting) in one season. Still one of the best overall 125s in my opinion.

      @@rapscallion3421 The reason you attempt passive aggressive insults on the internet is a combination of factors. Primarily, it is your insecurity and your intellectual capacity. I didn't feel very soft when I raced, rode bulls or served in the military to protect your right to douchebaggery. Also, nowhere does it say I owned a Suzuki, your insecurity created that narrative.. Grow up.

    From 2001 to 2008, the RM was more CR than the CR. The Suzuki RM 2t of the period is Honda-esque....kind of mid 90s CR and that is not a criticism.

    Tony, have you heard anything about new management at Suzuki, and that this new manager is pro-motocross?....so hopefully Suzuki can start looking more seriously at keeping their bikes updated. I think Suzuki has been concentrating on selling daily commute bikes and cars in India!! Not mx though :-(

    Blows my mind how much effort they put into changing every little detail to try to be competitive and now they just leave em be year after year.....look at the poor RM 85. It’s been the same so many years. No reason they can’t put a few bucks into it and raise it up a notch. Sad.

    My buddy in high school had one of these I remember how good it cornered and was decently fast but man what a piece of shit. The new yellow they used faded after a month the CDI box went out (twice) after a month and the seat was so soft i could remember cornering on it and feeling the subframe through the seat. The bike wore out super fast too the levers would flop around the frame stretched out causing bolts to fall out and he was only a mid pack C rider

    *KTM* is where it is at now and/or EURO as they are the only only ones developing 2 strokes.
