No problems .... My main interest was why the 250 had 6 transfer veins ( test 4 )  and different head combustion designs.

Devoured every page, couldn't decide which one I was man enough for back when I was 15. Ended up with a kx400 in '76. And no, I wasn't man enough for that tank slappin pogo whatsoever. It was great for sliden wheelies on muriwai beach tho.
Cheers Chris.

That was a great article and a good find old fart. In your research finding this info for the RM 250 and 370 was there an article about the RM 125 B . This is my current project and some info about the bike would be really helpful.

Did you find the 125B article?  did ya? did ya?  ;-)

Very interesting reading, back in the day, I went from a RM125A to a RM250B to TS185B (when I got my learners permit), then when I made a come-back (the first of many) I had another 125A.
