I'm sure Phil had one [RH], I think TM Bill knows where that went. Paul ockie Doecke showed me the blueprints/plans on how to turn a TM400 frame into an RN? a few years ago, he was a master craftsman like Steve Roberts. They built all sorts of contraptions back then.

Bill O`Brien was also a sponsored rider from the 70`s and he was from N.Z Bill raced along side Ivan miller, Peter Pleon, not sure if he rode suzuki, he shifted to Colac Victoria years ago
I believe he still there was a member of the colac m/cycle club where I was there. very nice fellow and a very rider.

Can someone tell me what a restored YZ250B would be worth?

These RH75s were the Suzuki equivalent of the Yamaha.  I had one in 1975, I think I paid about $1,500.00 for it.  My bike was one of two in the first shipment into Queensland, the next shipment had about 5 more RH75s in it

Kev an RH is worth far more than a YZ250B as previous sales have shown..

Dam!!!!!  Did I ever tell you I saw one (RH75) for sale at Kippa-Ring several years ago, probably in about 1985 or so.  It was on Anzac avenue.  Anyway the guy wanted $600.00 for it, I think he thought it was a TM.  I didn't have the money available at that time.  Anyway I think Geoff bought it.  I sold him the stand from mine a little while later.

RH 74 model by leaps and bounds over the others . It was a true factory race bike the public could get their hands on.

Wow, never seen this brochure/pic before, very interesting, thanks.  The rear shocks, were they something special for the time?
