Looks like a1987 or 1988 RM 250 frame based on the removable subframe and the way the chain guide guard bolts to the frame,it's a cool bike -perfect for the NZ Pre 91 class eh Bill !

Pretty sure Suzuki had a factory 500 team in 84 and the bikes were all water cooled ??

looks like front calliper  mounting bracket is welded on, rather than part of casting.

It's a later model frame guys definitely 1987 or 1988 production RM 250

What year would this have been, with Vromans on the watercooled 500 factory Suzuki ? I thought 1984, as it doesn't even seem to have disc brakes. There was a close up picture of one of these bikes on facebook recently and I wish that I had saved it.

A bit of info on works RN 500s, I worked on 1983 Models in 1984,
the Factory stopped Racing at the end of 1983 although they produced spare parts in 2 advance orders early and mid 1984,
they were single downtube frame with offset intake and exhaust, most 1983 bikes were air cooled, Harry Everts was allocated a couple of watercooled bikes, the bike featured for sale, unfortunatley has little in common with 1982 to 1984 works RN500s.
