I Bought My Dream Dirt Bike!

- I bought my dream dirt bike, but I don't know what to do with it! So I need some help to decide what to do with this very special motorcycle.... Ever since I was a kid I've loved the Suzuki RM250, in my opinion it's the sexiest bike of the 2 Stroke era that I grew up in, so when I found this brand new 18-year-old 2006 RM 250 I couldn't believe my eyes. I just had to own it....so here we are! But should we ride it? or should we leave it as it is? Let me know what you think!

Option 3. Hermetically seal this one and find a used one to refurbish & ride.
Great idea
@@victorfourie907 My first thoughts also!
Agreed, this bike should be preserved and I'm sure there are plenty of good used ones out there.
Definitely this !
This is the best idea by far
Option 1. Save that beauty. Find a clapped out one and revive it instead.
id do that :)
This right here.
Option 1, no question.
Find a used one to build and race. Keep this as it is forever.
I am with the majority of others. Seal this one up and save it. Do a series on building one. You will never replace what you have now. Make your accountant happy and build a super racer. I was ten years before you in falling in love with these things. Broke my collar bone on one one at age 12 and still loved it. Awesome machine you have.
keep bike put it in living room and get a 2006 beater bike option 1
I agree
Option 1 for sure. Put it in a glass box in your lounge. Better than the TV to look at 😂
Great idea
Option 1. No question.
Getting a second RM to ride/build would CLEARLY be the most sensible. From a viewer standpoint, building a race bike from a cheap clapped one is just as/more entertaining anyways. I hope your mind isn't already made up and this whole poll isn't just rhetorical...
Option 2, send it! Keep it original and perfectly maintained, and it will stay a time capsule. You and a select few will be able to experience and enjoy what it was like back then.
Get another -06 rm250 and do a build and ride that one instead!
Just race used rm250 and keep the timecapsule as a timecapsule. Also would be cool to see how you can restore the rm250 and visually compare it to a time capsule like that.
Option 2 most definitely. Send it. The only reason these machines illicit the imaginative muse in each of us is because we all connect with the memory of riding one. No one has ever experienced that fully simply by looking at one. In order to live life to our maximum potential, we must actually live it. And the same is true for that machine.
Option 1
It’s survived this long and they are only new once! There’s a million other 2006 RM250’s out there that aren’t as special as this one that you could do the same thing with. Even a meticulously restored one would do the job if you felt the need to ride something completely stock and original.
The value isn’t at all the concern for me as these bikes are never going to pull huge money like a classic car.
I personally wouldn’t want the responsibility of owning something I didn’t feel like I could ride so I simply wouldn’t buy it unless I had a mansion full of bikes already and I wanted to display it.
You’re the new custodian of this unicorn. Treat her with respect 🙏
Option 1....... it's a unicorn.....
Would love to see Sean race it, though.....
Its a tough decision Glenn, that's why I need help :)
So difficult, having your favourite toy and not being able to play with it.
Yeah possibly the one time race up the prestige every bike has a story or something lol
Totally agree with option 3. You'd never get another like that unused, but there's plenty of options to buy another and use that. Get the best of both worlds max with option 3.
Option 2 of course..you'll never have the same memories watching it as you would riding your Dream Bike...Bring it to life Max 😁👍
Option 1. In the meantime try to find and store the spares needed to maintain it for a few years at least. And once you find yourself old enough to conclude on the last and final bike of your motocross life unpack it and ride with style and joy. Highly likely you will ride it calm and polite so the bike will last long.
Great channel, Max! Support from two-stroke Russia!
Option 2. We want to see Shaun torch guys on this majestic machine. What a great bike for this channel and thanks 999 for the great videos.
Thank JayLee
Option 2 1000000% anybody who says anything other doesn't like bikes and probably uses pro nouns. Money is nothing. Riding is everything
Option 2. Life is short. Live your dream and enjoy that bad boy to the fullest. Money will come and go, experiences can't be made any other way than to get out there and do it. I'm not a motocross bloke, but I agree that that is one sexy looking bike.
Ride it!! A bought a almost brand new ( never been on dirt and only started every few years) 94' KDX200 in 2021. Its my favorite trail bike. I dont regret not keeping it new for a minute.
Option 2!!!!!!! It was born to race and it's been waiting for too long. Parking it would be blasphemy
it would be cruel not to ride it, right?
@@999lazeryeah bro but you should ride it.. it's your dream bike.. old mate has his rm125 he will be fine lol
Ride it, race it, love it. The fun you will have on it will be 10x the financial loss. Plus, who knows if we have a tomorrow. You bought the greatest 2 stroke mx bike of all time. Enjoy it!
I agree 100% Love it and Ride it!
I chose option 1 but buy a used one...rebuild and race it. BUT....this is the most sensible option 2 I've seen. No. You aren't promised tomorrow.
Option 2. I'll admit it's an awesome time capsule and would look great on display. But ride it and make some memories and stories to tell. It'll still look great on display with some battle wounds and you'll have hours of stories to tell about the time you spent on it.
Option 2 all the way. Put an FMF race pipe on that thing. And make sure you only run VP premixed race fuel
No brainer for me…ride it and enjoy it!
Beautiful bike ! I’ve always wanted RM 2-stroke, come on Suzuki start manufacturing again.
Option 2. This is such a great bike that I think you just have to ride it.😎
Option one Max, it will never look the same after one ride
Option # 2 for sure, you need to Rip that bad Sazook.....
Option 2 for sure. The late model RM250s are king.
Option 1 mate. If you want to ride a Rm250, buy a used one, sped some dollars to upgrade and refurbish, but be smart on this one.
WOW !!!!! I raced RM 250 2 strokes from 1997 to 2005 with a new one every year !!!! I loved those bike ( still do ) with 2000 prob being my favorite !!! Man what a flashback 999 - thank you so much - I bought my 1st 97 RM 250 when the King Mcgrath switched over for for 1 year to yellow and thought it was the greatest thing ever !!!! Sean should for sure race that 250 no questions to ask !!!! Sean will def bring it on this ride !!! Thank you again Lazer for the incredible video's - always top notch buddy !!!
Option 2! Use and ride that bike as much as you can, you live only once enjoy it. But if I were you I would need to ride that bike myself 😂 I couldn’t watch someone else riding around having the time of their life on that RM.
don't worry If we ride it I'll be the first :) Thanks for watching
That is a piece of history, I would rather find a used one and rebuild that to good as new mechanically then ride one and keep the other for history's sake as is. I also don't like bikes just as show pieces but I think it is worth it keeping it as new, if it were a rebuilt/restored bike I would say send it because you could always just fix it up again but never been used is a different ballgame
You can always find another accountant. You were born to ride Max. Let it rip. Unleash the beast. Sean should prepare.
Time is worth more than money and there's good times to be had.
Option #1 is the only option, it's mint 👌. Find another bike, modify it to a full factory spec if possible, and have Shaun race that. Bring the RM along to track days so we can all enjoy a zero hour bike in all its glory, at the track events you will be at throughout the year.
Bro, you own it. You can always make more money. But there is nothing like riding a old school 2 stroke. Just send it. You will never regret it once you have ridden it. God Bless from the USA.
and money is fake so better to use and ride and still make money after.
Yeah, but there are countless 2 strokes everywhere, and this guy already knows how awesome 2 strokes are. Why ruin a perfect example when you could buy a used 06 rm250 and rebuild it back to stock, and beat the shit outta it. They are not rare but an un ridden 06 rm250 is extremely rare. And you can't un ride it, it will never be that again. It would be stupid as fuck to give that up for nothing.... literally nothing that a good rebuilt 06 bike could give. But it's also his to do with whatever so guess we'll see.
Ride it and enjoy the heck out of it.
Option 3. You race it alongside Sean on his his 91 model, at Farley Castle
💯👍
Option 1 ,Save it and get a clapped out 06 and do a build video series .
Two strokes for life
Option 3. Take all the plastic off and store it. Same with the seat and tank. Buy after market plastic and seat. Install clutch and magneto covers and save the stock ones. Clear plastic over the frame rails. Only ride on perfect loam tracks or drier, never ride this baby in the mud. Ride it but ride sparingly, you have other bikes. You have all of the original high wear stuff in a box for some day.
My dream bike is the 1977 Suzuki RM125, that thing was the beginning of all of this. Aluminum gas tank, leading axle forks, laid down shocks. It’s my dream bike.
Option 1 and buy a secondhand one to play on. It's history, preserve it as there are many secondhand ones you can buy and refurb to a similar standard.
Forget option 1 altogether. Box it up and look at it? NFW! Who knows what next week will bring on planet Earth. Enjoy that beautiful machine now. Get after it Max.
Option 2. Surely a no brainer. The value of seeing/experiencing the RM ripping it up, ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS. Go for it Boys.
option 2 ride it
Thanks for watching Kian :)
I absolutely love this type of bike! When I bought my ‘04 CR250R back in 2013, it was near stock and barely used. The market then was different so I bought it and rode it! I want to say option 1, but the worse thing for anything is just sitting. These bikes do not really exist anymore so I say ride it and enjoy it… but at the same time take really good care of it!
I vote option 2
Option 2 you can look after it and still look at it and it will make you smile even more riding it. Iv never understood why anyone buys cars and bikes and don't use them buy a used one and ride it.
I've always wanted to have a go on one of them. Ride it, you know you want to, I personally wouldn't be able to help myself :) You're going to look after it and treat it well... Send it dude!
Option 2! Very few people make money from motocross! We don't do this to make money, we use our last bit of monthly salary for fuel and track fees to get our mx fix and forget about life's problems. You only live once, have fun and ride it 🤟🏻
I’ve been in this situation. After 3-4 years it became almost annoying to own, as I’m not a big fan of trailer queens. My advice it to remove and replace, all of the plastic, the handlebars, throttle (saving original grip), seat, pipe/silencer and footpegs. Maybe even the side covers on the case.
Fire up your new UFO plastic, Renthal, FMF racer and have some fun. 20 + years from now when you feel like you might not be running racing it. You can always give the bike a resto and put all the original parts back on. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the feeling that it’s STILL a brand new bike.
Option 1, then find one to build. They are built to ride but not hard to find an 06 to build / restore. This is a beautiful bike.
Orrrr I thought you were going to turn it into a 500. If not go for option 1, just no point when you so many other great bikes to ride and race. Anyways Max why dont you swing a leg over it and go racing with Shaun. Now thats an idea for some future content, dad and lad go to war! All good stuff Max.
999lazer, I bought a 2006 RM 250 brand new. It was a light switch. The first thing I had to do was install heavy flywheel weight. Had it for about a year but my appetite for moto had died. I was wanting to ride/race desert stuff here in California. So I got my first 4 stroke an '07 Honda CRF 450X and modded it.
As an Rm 250 owner, I say ride it. Life is short, you only get one go around. I can 100% guarantee you’ll have way more fun with it if you ride it than squirrelling it away into a collection somewhere. Let’s see it in action!
I had the rmx 250, road legal 2 stroke. Loved it and smoked newer 4 strokes and got lots of looks and thumbs up everywhere I went.
There are plenty other of 2006 RMS that you can rebuild to ride and make exactly the way you want that bike there will only appreciate value as long as you don’t crank it over. But on the other hand, I’m a gearhead so I would more than likely probably ride the damn thing because it’s built to ride.
First of all you have found a needle in a haystack. Like you I watched Pichon race these RM250’s like a demon possessed, winning back to back MXGP 250 Championships. So for that reason I own an 2002 RM250. Hands down the best motocross bike I have ever owned.
All that said and not knowing what you paid for it, I’d keep it as an investment and find a used RM250 to restore and race.
Wish the comments allowed pictures as I’ve got a spread of these classic 2 stroke monsters none of which haven’t been rode though. I’d personally have it as a decoration atop the entertainment center. She’s a beauty
I've become also obsessed with the RM because of Travis Pastrana!!you have a great bike!!!keep it brand new! OPTION 1
Your father was right. My '02 RM 125 was without a doubt the best handling bike I ever threw a leg over. All I had to do was think it, and this bike would corner for me. This bike was responsible for half of my wins alone. I wouldn't have been able to win nearly as many races as I did without it.
I love my 02 RM125. So snappy, so nibble.
They was quick but years ago back in 2003 I bought a 6 month old ktm sx 125 2002 cusworth motorcycles Doncaster (shut down years ago) race bike it was unbelievably quick smoked 250 2 strokes on acceleration unbelievably quick for a 125.
Had an 03 RM125 for a few years. It was such a good bike. SO fun.
@@datapusher- good race bikes but chocolate gearboxes
Fire it up and send it 💥🚀🌕
999lazer is an entertainment channel. You need to factor in the entertain appeal of racing a mint 2006 bike into the financial equation.
I'd personally love to see how well Shawn can do on that machine. The 3rd option, buying a used 2006 RM250, wouldn't be very interesting unless you brought everything back to factory specifications, and that wouldn't be cheap either; if even possible.
Option 1!!! This is an incredibly rare find.
Option 1 for me. If I owned it, I would mount it on my lounge wall. Should be used but it's too good. I want one.
Plz option 2.. money comes and goes..
Ride it. Keep on top of it. Will still be worth plenty in 10/20/30 years and Youv got to enjoy it
Option 2
Money is fake. Therefore option 2 is the only sensible solution. Also Sean could absolutely do the bike some justice by racing it as its makers intended 😀
Exactly money only gets you the things you need or want it itself is worthless! Would you rather have nothing and be rich or have everything but not rich just enough money to get by fine! I know which I want!!
I’m one of the fortunate few that actually owns a 2006 RM250 RC Edition. By far the best, in a long line of excellent machines, that I’ve owned. Definitely ride it! Build it out in stages and document the steps for us. Step 1: Stock, step 2: updated with only suspension and cockpit fittings to personalize it for you. Step 3: Mild upgrades like a pipe, clutch and mild porting. Step 4: All-in with a 300 kit. Do you lap time tests during each phase and compare them to a modern 4T 250 and 450!
Option 2. In the game of life we go all in and all out. I say send it bud!!
Race it ! You can be certain to have a lot of fun riding the bike, you cannot be certain anyone will pay a premium for it in the future.
A lot of people still think that’s greatest dirt bike all time ! Tough decision!
Option 1. This one really pulls at my heart strings since I'm the exactly same way with Suzuki 2 strokes, a little more so with the 125 though. Save this one, find a decent condition used one and do a poll on parts to build that one with if you want fan engagement. You found a unicorn... Let the magic of that time piece live on.
Ride the seat off it mate!!!! I’d certainly regret owning it and not having ridden it, even if I sold it for much more later on!
I think it is the bike Pastrana landed his double flip on 🚴💨
Theirs a good chance that’s the last brand new 2006 rm 250 I would lock it away and get a used one to ride
Option 2 for sure to me. But before, disassembled it and grease the bearings and while doing that apply 4 stroke oil on the axes and bolts concerned (Just dry it before assembly and it leaves the ester for no rust)
Alex from France
Yolo!!! Ride that thing!!! It can be restored..
03’ rm250 put me in ICU for 11 days. Back in 2004 but one of my favorite bikes to ever ride. Handled better then any other 2 stroke I ever rode
I also had an '03, engine had power everywhere, was the best handling bike I ever rode as well.
Keep it original and have Doc Wob find and build you a bike to ride.
My favorite Suzuki 250 2 stroke is the RH72. I saw it in action (RN72) at Puyallup in 1971, under Joel Robert, Sylvain Geboers, and Roger DeCoster. Absolutely nothing has ever topped this particular race: the Suzuki trio not only won the race, but absolutely embarrassed the rest of the manufacturers and riders. BTW: every bike is a rider. Use it; you'll love it.
This bike is awsome, for me Option 1, love from Italy!!!
Dilemma!!?? For sure!! But this can never ever be replicated again. If it had low hours on it, I'd say rip it. But, this is an extinct find and must be in a museum. Riding it is like finding the last extinct dinosaur and killing it and eating it!! 😄😄
Option 1
Option 1. It hurts to say that because I want to see it rip so badly. But that is the most rare untouched find ive seen. My uncle bought the same bike brand new, im the same age as you, and its the same bike that got me into motocross. I have vivid memories of this thing rippin around the home track after the first fuel up in 2006!
Option 1. And find a moto collector museum to display (on loan.) It's not about the money, it's preservation of history.
My first and only real experience with motocross was on a Suzuki RM80 but from the early 90's!
On the 250... Ride the crap of it! The biggest waste ever would be to just have the thing sit and never to be ridden, might as well set your money on fire, sure, maybe you can sell it on in 10 years and get 3 times what you paid for it or more, but thats a big IF and for what?...
Enjoy it...
OPTION 3......... Keep that one mint and get another used one 😂
Option 1 way to cool to use
Option 2 ! Braaaap... Put some custom parts on it, too! And you can also go to USA next year to race the World Two-stroke Championship at Glenn Helen !
Option 2 I would love to see it in action
I’m for #3 keep it pristine and build a rocket 2006
Hi Max, as much as seeing it race would be cool. Keeping it unused is the only option!!
I've been a rider since i was three now I'm 53 and i can honestly say I've always wanted an 06 suzuki 250. Congratulations!!!
Keep it as is! Don’t ride that one and find a used one to build.
Option 1
if it was my investment.
its a difficult call, but i'd love to see it do what it was made for... but then again it'll never be new again.
Option 1 definitely
It is beautiful congrats finding this bike 🚴💨💯
Screw investors, that thing was built to ride.
