- Опубліковано 22 жов 2024
- Arizona Firefighter and cancer survivor, Justin McMurrich, has worked with us at Vital MX on a few builds in the past. This time he has returned with a mint condition 2002 Suzuki RM125 #twostroke project bike. After a bit of much-needed elbow grease and replacing just about every part, the result was a fire-breathing #rm125 ready to rip the hills of Glen Helen.
Make sure to crank the volume and hit the play button as we run this bike through its paces and cover just about every detail that went into this Race Shop Build.
There is nothing sweeter than the sound and smell of a two stroke motocross bike
To hear you say that the 99-00 RM 125 was your favorite bike made me really proud to own one!
That’s a great sounding and great looking bike!
Ah yes, my favorite bike! I race my 2001 RM 125. I spent so many hours building mine.
My favorite dirtbike that l ever owned was 2001 RM 125.. the bike turns like no other dirtbike.. it's magic 👍
Love this build and the fact that it wasn't soo over the top. Just a raw fun bike for his young bloke.
Met Justin up at cahuilla a few weeks back they had this bike up there what a crisp sounding 125! And Justin couldn’t have possibly been a cooler guy to chat with. Great build!!
I like the seat, makes it look more modern.
Gorgeous bike an looks very fast!
Just got finished building out my 2004 rm125, things a beast really fun, can’t wait too take it too the track
Same
chain saw on wheels !!! nice !!!! and the castrol smell gotta love it !!!
Love these builds. I need to get one before theyre all gone.
Hurry an grab one soon.
Nobody knows more about that bike than Ping!
Cool build! My son and I just rebuilt a 2001 Rm125 from the frame up 👍
Great build!!! I Love all my RM’s that are in my 2strike stable!!!!
Yes all good and his boy must be stoked. Great build and good price.
Great ride. Thanks for posting
Remember in the 1990s the arena was filled with 2 stroke fumes
The good ole days 🤙🏻
The funnest bike to ride.
Beautiful build
This bike is such a classic
nice bike for sure
Love that they stayed with the original plastic style, I don't like the restyle kit that they offer for these. Beautiful machine, and sounds great!
The ole Pastrana favorite!
I own a bike that is just like this rm looks the same but they are way different. Always fun and enjoy riding the rm and kx 125
nothing turns like an rm!
Ping never lets us down with these gangster ass builds! They r rare around here in pa! But when u see one it’s usually all tricked out!
it looks fantastic
Job well Done 👊 👍😉
I believe that might be an 01 rm? You can tell by the swingarm as from 02 the swingarm was tapered! Bike looks and sounds amazing!
That’s excatly what I seen too
LOVE IT!! You should fly up here to Oregon and ride my 2003, 2005 Kx125 and Kx144 and my 2003 Kx265 at Mountain View Mx
I love my '01 RM125, but compared to modern bikes, the front brake and rear shock feel extremely lacking. Haven't been able to dial them in ...
I love mine, I got racetech in it.
@@mx500a4 Enzo did my suspension last go around. Forks were drastically improved but the shock has always felt harsh.
Throw a CRF master cylinder on that thing
@@jesseheidenthal1209 that's a great Idea!
Suzuki RM ❤️
That 125 actually sounds powerful
The swing arm is 2001 rm
I got a 270mm rotor, steel braided line & rebuilt the master cylinder on my 2005 Cr250r front brake and it still lacks stoping power. Any tips?
use a newer master cyl off a crf
Cant agree more, had a 2000 and 2001 rm125 - that 2000 was killer but ugly!! 2001 looked way better! Love these Suzuki's - wished they still made them even if there weren't as competitive in todays world.
Oh man that seat. Ping said he likes the older bikes and sitting in the bike. That need high seat... He said nothibg
Also has a billet top clamp probably pro taper
Anyone else notice the 2001 swingarm? Or the bikes an 01...2002 got the tapered swinger
Suzuki 2 strokes sound the best. The RC4 factory suzuki 250 is the best sounding bike of all time!!!
Amen to that!
The 98 was actually the best in my opinion and basically the same as the 99-00 other than the forks but the engine was better in 1998
I loved my 98. probably had 800hrs on that puppy till a house fire stole her
hey ping i got a 2000 suzuki rm 125 you should come to unadilla rewind in june and ill let you rip it for a test
Anyone else notice the bee 🐝 at 1:47? A bee on an angry bee.. no? Okay.
Swingarm is 2001
nice ! i bought a brand new one . back in the day . rpm did a 134 kit. rg3 suspension! great bike ! i hate . i got rid and or gave it away. my wife called it the million dollar bike.
super motorat
Somebody build Ping a 99
Put the mic up the silencer next time
It s à 2001 ! The swigarm is a 2001 model not a 2002 model !
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed that haha
I felt weird for noticing it. I guess we all had an 01 or 02
I don’t care how modded it is it will never be better then the new 125’s
Nobody asked
That’s a big steaming pile of crap and you know it, a fully modded bike isn’t as good as a newer bone stock bike?
