Sigh.
Really, have you EVER seen an RM in a pre-75 race ?

[cemotobull]

Thanks ted, I do recall seeing them around in the 70's. nice bit of kit. An old mate was thinking of selling his.

The first RM250 was a 1976 model, the only RM in 1975 was the RM125M & RM125S.

^^ that ^^

However, I have seen a few RH75 250s being called RM250.  Have also seen a couple TM250M that have laid down shocks and some twit has altered the frame & engine numbers.

As someone has already said the only RM that was a 1975 model was the RM125M and S.

Suzuki brought out a limit number of "works bike" RH Suzukis in 1975 (RH is 250, RN 500 class and RA 125).

I had a RH in 1975 and a RM125S.

And Pre 75 means before 1975 so 1974 model down.

Love those Rm125S and 75 RH 250s Kev , they really capture the transition era

Yes the RH (no need to call it a 250) had a great motor.  I traded mine in on a RM 250 A in 1976.  Anyway I did the gearbox on it at a meeting early in 1976.  The guy who had the RH let me ride it at the meeting.  The motor was a lot better than to RM.  Anyway after that Mayfairs the Qld Suzuki importer, who I was working for, swapped the RM 250 for a RM 370.  That was a great bike.

I hope the RM 370s are as good as they say - I see mine in 1 week

Bet no one has an RA. J

I think Allan Tomkins had one in Australia in the early eighties.
