I purchased a 99 RM 125 a few years ago for pretty cheap. It needed a new top end but that's not too much money. In stock form the bike flies for me. Travis Pastrana rode one back in the day so it has to be a good bike. ;)
saw hims race sunday in lyng at round 4 of the british maxxis. was nice to hear a 2stroke concidering he was the only one riding one in the mxy2. i remeber at one point someone forced him wide so he like jumped a burm and cut them off. he's sick
I have a rm125 -99, pretty tortured but runs fine for the cheap price i got it for. gotta love their sound and when the rev hits a certain spot and it just flies away ;) though i like the torque (and sound when on high rev) of 4strokes too :)
honestly, i dont have a bike yet, but im getting one soon, and iv ridden my friends bikes, both 4 strokes and 2 strokes, and i prefer the 2 strokes better. a lot more fun, and for a beginner like me, the torque doesn't set in until i hit the power band, so i have time to get ready for it. i have nothing against 4 strokes, but im in love with 2 strokes
@CARSandBIKES9 so true ive a 1999 husaberg 600cc its the kick start model it has a decompression lever on it and it still takes me about half an hour to kick it.
Seems every 2stroke video has a competition in the comments section over 4stroke vs 2stroke . I own both I ride both I love both . get over it and ride ffs!
dang! nice video! your really good. from the looks of it that front tire doesnt like to stay on the ground much! xD keep beatin on those four strokes! go suzuki!
@17capriati Does the rear fly up and you feel like your gonna go over the bars?? You can pretty much any suspension...... Maybe your not throttling enough leading up to the jump? Try doing wheelies to get the balance point, stand at this point coming up to the jump with a fistful of throttle!! Dont be scared!!
2 strokes and 4 strokes all all good. I ride an 06 crf250r, and every time my friend let's me ride his cr250, he has to make me get off of it cause it's soo much more fun to ride in comparison to a 4 stroke. I love 4 strokes, but I think that 2 strokes are a lot more fun to ride
Very nice riding . I own 3 suzuki`s rm 125 and I fucking love the machine`s . I got 2 oldschool bike`s . 1 rm 125 from 1978 and a 1980 model .All the bikes are totally rebuilt . These I won`t sell for all the cash in the world . 1 rm 125 2005 model I also have . I love the smell , the power . Every body make his own choice what do you prefere 2 stroke of 4 stroke . Mxriding for life
@96DirtBikeman well i got my rm250! the suspencion feels funny tho. its either i get bucked out of no where then i turn the rebound down and i loop out off lips. how do i fix this?
@kxno24 Is that you in that vid?? oyeah im going to get a dep pipe for my yz 125 but i dont wont the big pipes on the yz i like the little dep pipes on the 125 it looks better :P
@strosse the 782 is a 2 cylinder, 2 stroke engine.....well at least thats how my seadoo spx is bored to an 800 sounds just like at 2:36 one beast of a machine
Lol to be honest I wasn't talking about 4 stroke dirt bikes. I was talking 4 strokes vs 2 strokes in general. It is a fact that 2 strokes get rebuilt more often than a 4 stroke. And I do all my work by the way.. don't need a shop to do it. Have a good day.
Please help, I want a RM125 ranging from 1999-2004 (its what I can afford, Australia is fucking expensive). What should I look out for? Are they good bikes?
i think a 250 would be good, it's gonna be a litle more difficult than the 125 at the beginning but i think you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly (sry for my bad english)
@95tomn oh yes i do agree they are easier to ride never said they werent but that is why more people ride them you can make shifting mistakes and still be going fast. and once the pros got the four strokes well everyone else wanted to be like them and get a four stroke its kinda like a fashion that stuck around.
i like how hes not a lazy rider,....he stands up all the time,...i spose its cause he rides a 2 stroke properly....like i see some 250f riders at my local track who only stand up over jumps,...and sometimes even seat hop them....it sucks cause there still quicker than me,......fuck i hate my 85.
@suzukimx2011 have you ridden both? they are way different. 4 strokes hook up way better on dirt and have a much smoother power delivery. 2 strokes just go like a raped ape and are used in motocross. 4 strokes kinda remind me of mowercross but id still ride one if that was all i had
Cody Rosa my dad does my mechanic work and he says he hates doing 4 stroke motors. They have so much to them and they cost a lot. Yeah 2 strokes might go through top ends more then 4 strokes but they are much cheaper. That's why im changing to 2 strokes and they are a lot more fun.
@MichaelsRM125 sweet! =D i got now a old kx80cc and old kx125 but i dont really like the kx125 so im getting a new and i might start race i dont know =]
@95tomn exactly i race a four stroke but i aint saying it was better cuz if i had the extra money id go buy a 2 stroke also for practicing on cuz it will make u faster riding a 125 around practicing all the time then jumping on the 250f. And it sure a hell alot cheaper to maintaine.
2 strokes....for ever!!!! thank's for this videos!!!!
that rev is called the powerband and i love it tooo!
I Love His Riding Style =D
Keep two stroke alive for ever and ever!
it amazes me how MX started in Europe but yet the US has the best tracks every body over seas want to come to the US and ride
Man that kid rips that 125💯👍👍
i love when i see pros riding 125s because it reminds me that theyre still really good bikes and not just a stepping stone
I purchased a 99 RM 125 a few years ago for pretty cheap. It needed a new top end but that's not too much money. In stock form the bike flies for me. Travis Pastrana rode one back in the day so it has to be a good bike. ;)
i just luv the sound of two stoke engines
beastin it!!
I have a 88 rm125 super clean! I'm pretty sure i'm taller than this guy and my feet barely touch the ground! Much respect!
ive got a 1993 and I love it! 2 stroke all the way!

Hey James,nice rideing!
Gotta see some more battle with our Tim Gajser!!
i'm fourteen and i love 2 -strokes , never even ridden a 4-er
2 strokes are true dirt bikes! Hate the way 4 strokes sound. Mx and supercross will never be the same.
im getting a rm 125 06 next week i cant wait for it :D
Love this video
@CARSandBIKES9 so true ive a 1999 husaberg 600cc its the kick start model it has a decompression lever on it and it still takes me about half an hour to kick it.
Sick air!!!!! Brapp!! Long live two strokes all the way
Seems every 2stroke video has a competition in the comments section over 4stroke vs 2stroke . I own both I ride both I love both . get over it and ride ffs!

ive only been riding my 85 for one year so it would probably be smarter to get a 125
or should i be looking into 150r?
i love how he's just beating up on four strokes :D
@kxno24 Is that you in that vid?? oyeah im going to get a dep pipe for my yz 125 but i dont wont the big pipes on the yz i like the little dep pipes on the 125 it looks better :P
@MichaelsRM125 well ye but i have been riding a while now and im getting borred of just riding for fun so next it will be the track ;)
heyy i was wondering would you recomend this bike to me im 5-4 5-5 in height
BRAVO
i ride 2 stroke but i cant hate a 4 stroke because 4 strokes are dirtbikes too and dirtbikes are my life
@strosse the 782 is a 2 cylinder, 2 stroke engine.....well at least thats how my seadoo spx is bored to an 800 sounds just like at 2:36 one beast of a machine

Please help, I want a RM125 ranging from 1999-2004 (its what I can afford, Australia is fucking expensive). What should I look out for? Are they good bikes?
2 strokes baby, the ONLY bikes to ride!!!
if anybody could tell me what type of pipe he is running on it that would be great
i have he same bike, how do people get them not to smoke like this? i run 32:1 r-50 oil and 93 octane gas..all mine does it smoke
what is the year of his bike i got a rm 125 2003
i think a 250 would be good, it's gonna be a litle more difficult than the 125 at the beginning but i think you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly (sry for my bad english)
How big do you recommend being to get an RM 125? and is there much of a size difference compared to an RM 85?
LONG LIVE 2STROKE
@strosse 780 might be but the 782 is a double
what bike should i get im 5' 10' and 140lbs
i don't care 4 stroke or 2 strokes I LOVE DIRT BIKES!!!!!
2 stroke ftw.
I want to buy a new the Rm 125 2007 it is a good bike?
amazing!
im 5'8 would i be too big for a 125???
Im about 5'2 should i get a 85 or 125?
how do you get that blaqck pro circuit pipe?
@95tomn oh yes i do agree they are easier to ride never said they werent but that is why more people ride them you can make shifting mistakes and still be going fast. and once the pros got the four strokes well everyone else wanted to be like them and get a four stroke its kinda like a fashion that stuck around.

@jakerm85 i know how that feels same thing with me but now i went to a 250f but i stand up mostly still blew up my 85 twice
@suzukimx2011 have you ridden both? they are way different. 4 strokes hook up way better on dirt and have a much smoother power delivery. 2 strokes just go like a raped ape and are used in motocross. 4 strokes kinda remind me of mowercross but id still ride one if that was all i had

imagine what he new 2015 models with EFI are gonna be like to work on. and the cost for maintenance and parts and labor
that's why im gonna stick to railing my 09 lmao
@17capriati thats weird what is ure weight and height
What pipe is that on he's bike?
keeping up with the 4 stokes
@ckray224 Of course, i used to have a trx250r and a drz125l
good rideing mate:)
@Conzo53 and i agree there's more compression in a 4 stroke...
How tall do u think you need to be to fit a 125? if not a 85?
hey there i just got my rm125 yesterday and im 5'6 yes it will fit you but you will be on your tipi toes
@Dabigcheez89 thank you everyone for the positive feedback :D
LMAO u had me laughing at the dark corners of your basement
hey im 5'6 does anyone know if ill fit a rm 125?
what is 2 nd 4 strokes ?
@dabigcheez89 you've never seen ashley fiolek apparently.
James Dunn doesnt live near london he lives in swindon man!!
yes
how did this rider from england get his bike over here? lol
yeah im either going to get a 125 or 250
@MichaelsRM125 sweet! =D i got now a old kx80cc and old kx125 but i dont really like the kx125 so im getting a new and i might start race i dont know =]
ive outgrown my 85 so i was thinking either a 250 or a 125
and I weighabout 130-135
@benaferhc5 wanted to say this myself but didnt know how to put it good work :)
@95tomn exactly i race a four stroke but i aint saying it was better cuz if i had the extra money id go buy a 2 stroke also for practicing on cuz it will make u faster riding a 125 around practicing all the time then jumping on the 250f. And it sure a hell alot cheaper to maintaine.
for a while i thought about selling my 2 stroke, but it would be a stupid mistake so not im rebuilding my 03 rm and i will die with it.
how old is he?
pipe??
sound at 02:36 ?? RIDE BACK PLS !!
my last name is dodson.... can i race for the team?
