I've got the 08 (last year) version of this. I'll never sell it. Insanely fun. I've also got the PC Works + Shorty combo. Best-sounding bike ever at WFO.
Picked up this same bike a couple weeks ago, 06 rm 250 with v force reed valves and a pro circuit pipe. I ride sport bikes but this is my first dirt bike, it's a beast lol
IamRichTJ _ I'm 5'8. I'm a Yamaha guy but decided to go with the Suzuki because the yz's are super tall. I got lucky and the bike was already set up for a rider my height so it fits me great.
Aint1S I gave 2,200 for it which may or may not have been a reasonable deal. The bike itself is in great shape, it has beautiful gold excel rims on it. But it possibly has a crank seal leak, and the stator seems to be weak. I didn't get to ride it much but the crank seal leak might have been a high idle, I'm not 100% sure yet
Mike's bike looks dialed! Saw the latest races from the Canadian Motocross Championship series, he and other current/former AMA pros are up there racing. Don't know if that's just off-season training or if they're out of the Lucas Oil/Monster Energy loop for good. Always enjoyed watching Mike Alessi racing, when James Stewart was in his prime, M.A. was the only racer who could catch up to and pass 'Bubba' repeatedly...@ least until RC4 came into the premier class! Good kid, lots of talent.....even though he does a lot of complaining!! : )'
yeah but he reads the list of parts used to hop up this ten year old stocker off Craig's list and i can assure you none of that stuff is what Team Suzuki used on Ricky Carmichael's bike RM250, not a single part of it
justin castelli how is a non factory rider riding a production bike using over the counter hop up parts a "factory bike"? Factory bike means it was built for a factory rider by a factory team mechanics using special parts built by the factory that are not for sale.../facepalm
What is the material on the frame of the bike where your calf would be? Looks like 10 grit black sandpaper. I know it's there to help the rider hug the bike with his knees. Is it a common improvement anybody can make?
Van Alstyne it's actually skate board grip tape...litterly is black sticky sand paper...and yes its pretty common and cheap to do and it protects the frame
if this doesn't make you want to go and buy a 250 2 stroke i don't know what will lol that fucking sound of the clutch being raped is matched by nothing else it makes my brain melt
It's not factory. Factory contracts do not allow factory bikes to be ridden by any other person other than the factory rider. The contract also does not allow the rider to keep the factory bike.
They try to make me scared week and where I'm paranoid and where my arms start to hurt nervous and they feel weak and mybmusels feel pulled and stretched out innate that bad I dont like how I have to Be in this mask.....

DonMegaphone I had one too. Such a tough, raspy sound. Music to my ears. Precious memories.
Scored a freshly built 07 today for $2,400 🤘🏼
Sweet RM250 but I think you're drawing a long bow referring to it as "Factory".
rm 250 = legend!!!

how tall are you ?
IamRichTJ _ I'm 5'8. I'm a Yamaha guy but decided to go with the Suzuki because the yz's are super tall. I got lucky and the bike was already set up for a rider my height so it fits me great.
how much you give for it and how was the shape/upkeep of your bike?
Aint1S I gave 2,200 for it which may or may not have been a reasonable deal. The bike itself is in great shape, it has beautiful gold excel rims on it. But it possibly has a crank seal leak, and the stator seems to be weak. I didn't get to ride it much but the crank seal leak might have been a high idle, I'm not 100% sure yet
that doesn't sound too bad, much better than average wear for the age of the bike. Sounds like you got a well kept bike!
Factory bikes don't come from Craigslist.
That bike sounds crisp as f**k !
finally, an rm250
Right! finally got an RM but the ridding clips were pretty boring. I want to see more
I have one too, love it
What a beast, sounds amazing.
So you guys decided to ride this race machine in a field huh....
right? this is why I Don't like there videos. ..they always ride a feild or wide open trails...no mx or good woods riding
yup. This^^
Awesome! So long as you race it on a flat track.

How was the bike standing when he was talking about it ?
not a factory bike, still a nicely modded machine but. Sounds crisp. Would like to see it on a MX track
Got an 08 RM250 with the same pipe and shorty silencer. Everybody seems to like the sound, I sure do. Just rips.
@@DonMegaphone regular silencer bette ri ride same model better longer top end, shorty only hard hit
Damn he can ride, makes it look easy and effortless! Guess that's years of training for you though. Great video.
I love my 99' rm250, this bike is so sweet tho!!
This may be late, but how on earth is that bike standing up on its own.
...went back after you said this and looked again....must be magic!!! LOL
Beautiful RM I’ve been thinking about buying an older RM 125 and then have it bored out to an RM 167 by Ricks R,P,M. P,S that bike sounds great!
why are you calling a bike bought off Craig's List a "factory" bike?
Sure does look like one though
yeah but he reads the list of parts used to hop up this ten year old stocker off Craig's list and i can assure you none of that stuff is what Team Suzuki used on Ricky Carmichael's bike RM250, not a single part of it
Bc they turned it into a factory bike.

I'm a 7 foot 3, 13 year old Jew, would this bike be good for me?
No, seeing how you're a Jew you might want to look into getting a scooter instead.
