Does anyone know whitch was available to the public first (in australasia )
1975 RM 125 M
1975 RH 250 M
Obviously the RH was released in limited #s but they bear a striking resembalance

Good question Bill, i really can't remember.
People often think my '75 RH250 is an RM125S.

Thats a hard one Bill, I know the YZ125C came out before the other long travel 125's and it was out late 74....The RM/M,S was the counter attack as Suzuki where still punting the TM...I think it may have come out mid 75 and the RH a bit earlier to go head to head with the mighty YZB ;D. I remember people saying that the shops still had RH's for sale when the RMA's came out so maybe the RH's where late 75?....I've confused myself now. JohnnyO should now.....

My recollection, and it is a bit cloudy, is that the 250/370 RM A were out before the 125A. I had a paper run that took in the local suzuki shop at Padstow and was a regular gawker at Hazelton's in Sydney and can remember both the RM and RH- although I didn't realise what was involved , I do remember a price difference.
Taking a punt, I reckon the RM125M would have been out before the RH250M.
Suzuki were very keen to show their strength in the 125's.
