Vehicle Detail
This 2006 Suzuki RM 250 is in excellent condition with only at most 5 rides on it including an easy brake in day. I am over 50 so you can imagine I was not winging the crap out of it. This bike was going to be my new race/track bike only, but I hurt my back at work and don't see myself racing anytime soon, plus I just have too many bikes. My bikes are all well cared for and this RM is no exception. Before ever ridden I put on new and current graphics kit, Factory Connection; frame guards, radiator braces, and glide plate. I also added Cycra hand guards and a black SDG Gripper seat which comes with the bike as well as the stock seat. I also added clear gipper graphic material on the frame for extra grip and to save the paint on the frame from wearing off. The gripper material has yellowed a bit and wore off fast on the frame guards as you can see. The graphics on the tank area have been worn off a bit by my knee braces as they are hell on graphics. I also changed the grips to my personal liking. Nothing else on this bike has been change except the oil and cleaning the air filter after every ride. It still has the stock tires that came on the bike so you can see how little it has been ridden. They are Bridgestones and I am not a big fan of Bridgestones so they would have been changed when worn. I have a tendency to change tires soon with a racing mentality. This bike has never been raced as I was only getting used to it at the track. It has some scratches on the front finder from when I fell over in a tight turn. This bike turns sooo quick as I was used to motocross racing my KX 500 which was much different to say the least. The 2006 RM 250's were tuned to have a bit more bottom end and were enfluenced by Rick Carmichael's Super Cross Championship the year before which makes this bike that much easier to ride. This bike is very fast, has great over rev and handles so nice. So fun to ride!!! Here is a video of Ricky on the RM 250 which seems to be his fun bike of choice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1l5Pz_GqS8 For comparision sake: New 2011 Yamaha YZ 250 goes for $7150.00 New 2011 KTM SX 250 goes for $6699.00 My 2006 RM 250 with a few easy rides goes for about half and those bikes don't handle any better or turn as well. I will accept Pay Pal or cash only, with a deposit of $500 in 24 hours after end of auction through Pay Pal. Please don't bid if not a serious buyer, thanks. Also see my 93 Honda CR 500
