The 2006 MY RM250 is a two-stroke quarter-liter dirt racing machine which has been used by Ricky Carmichael and he proved that it is indeed a champ's bike. Quick throttle response, amazing power and torque for riding hard and excellent damping capabilities, even when landing really tall jumps. | The 2006 MY RM250 is a two-stroke quarter-liter dirt racing machine which has been used by Ricky Carmichael and he proved that it is indeed a champ's bike.

This bike is a tough-as-nails engineering marvel and can also take a beating. The strong chassis is complemented by racing-grade Showa suspensions with enhanced adjustability, while the pegs and bars are also complying with the rigors of hard riding. Cue powerful hydraulic brakes, precise cornering and a narrow, easy-to-flip profile for the ultimate ride. | This bike is a tough-as-nails engineering marvel and can also take a beating.
