Suzuki RH 250 works bike Perth gumtree

[Slakewell]

The 74 RH weighed nothing and was as fast as mid 80's RM The only thing that didn't impress was the front brake. Is for sure the most competitive bike you can legally use in pre 75.

There is allot missing on that bike and it's priced about half of what a restored would bring these days. I hope it finds a home that loves it. Are you going to try and buy it VMX247?

Ok  Easiest why to tell if it is an RH (no need to call it a 250) is if the gear shift shaft also comes out on the right hand side to fit right side gear shift, it is an RH.

The bike shown is an 1975 model so not legal for Pre 75.  John Kittle has got one now too.

How do I know these things?  I had one in 1975.  Two came into Queensland in first shipment and then another 5 or so came in a few months later.

The bike was similar to the earlier YZs limited production based on the works bike.  They are not very rare.  Also they were not available in the US.

The motor was stronger than the RM 250 A the next year, but the rest of the bike not as good.

If it was restored in good condition maybe it would be worth the money, but not in the state it is in.  Also has it got the original wheels etc.

This is the same as the one I had.  The tank graphics the same as the 74 TM.  The second shipment just had the Suzuki sticker.

Notice the gear shaft also coming out on the right hand side.  The side covers are missing to but the stand they came with is still with it.  My exhaust pipe got flatten very quickly I turned it into an up pipe.

Seems to be a few differences between Dave's post possible  ( 74 )  and the Gumtree example' ( 75 )
Air box
shock mount points

I could be wrong

This bike is a 74 with the frame modified for laid down shocks.. it's different to a 75.
I have both a 74 & 75 RH

impressive pipe! (said the barmaid to the bishop...)

Perhaps the one in the add is a 74 with the updated rear end. I understand the last of the 74's were modified via a factory specced upgrade.

If what I heard was right the NZ ones were modded by Steve Roberts.

The one in the ad is a 75, I can tell by the frame and the air box.

Swing arm pivot is the obvious L to M difference

[JohnnyO]

Yeah the L has roller bearings in the frame the same as the bike here with the 74 L tank and modified rear suspension
Just confirms what I've already said

[albrid-3]

so the RH advertised is a 75 model, is it the real deal.
