The 1975 Suzuki RM125 is a very solid package. The little yellow zinger has good bottom-end snap and decent midrange pull. The motor makes decent power from the lower end of the powerband to the middle. Like most 125s, the RM puts out the most power from mid-to-top. Early versions (original, A and B) had a steel swing arm. C version and forward used an aluminum swing arm.
The 1979 Suzuki RM125 is a very solid package. The little yellow zinger has good bottom-end snap and decent midrange pull. The motor makes decent power from the lower end of the powerband to the middle. Like most 125s, the RM puts out the most power from mid-to-top.

The 2006 MY RM125 has received several tweaks for improved performance. This is one of Suzuki's highly-popular dirt racing machines, so it is natural that the house of Hamamatsu loads it with the best features and parts from the top shelf. The RM125 has a bigger piston ring knock pin, a narrower reed valve intake passage, a reshaped intake reed valve air guide, a narrower crankshaft, a new exhaust chamber shape and a revised ignition map.

The long history of the Suzuki RM125 model is the perfect testimony telling the successful story of this small-displacement bike. The RM125 is the natural step up for the young Suzuki riders who are done with the entry-point RM85 or its larger-wheeled RM85L sibling.
