1978 Suzuki RM80 Showroom collector bikeI purchased this RM from a collector a few years ago for my son. We used it used a few times around a farm and it's been sitting in my living room for the past year.The RM80 1978 is one of the best small bore dirt bikes ever built. This is from the era when Suzuki was building bikes that were winning championships.I did some minor updates like OEM number plate, jetting, NOS grips ( no installed), NOS rear sprocket.The bike was restored from the ground up, runs like a bat out of hell. The power band on this RM is incredible.The 78 RM80 is a rare bike, I have seen one only on Ebay in the past 3 years. You won't find many RM80's in this condition period, and you if you come across one that needs work, be prepared to search for parts and pay high dollar amounts for them.COMES WITH OWNER MANUAL AND ORIGINAL 1978 BROCHURE!About the condition: *Bike quality : Show Quality Restoration work and condition: Frame: powder coated gloss blackHardware: all zinc plated and replacedTons of new OEM and NOS partsEngine: New gaskets, Jug honed, new Wiseco Piston and rings, all new cables, new bearings.

Vintage motocross bikes don't have titles. *Bike qualityIt is one of the hardest jobs to convey the subjective condition of a vintage motorcycle through a computer. We restore and sell quality motorcycles in different stages and conditions. Keep in mind that Vintage motorcycles are very photogenic and will ALWAYS need attention and care. If we list a motorcycles as “vintage”, the following is what you should expect: Trailer Queen or Show Quality = This is a top rating given to motorcycles that have gone through professional restorations have and have been very well kept or are in top original survivor condition. Unrestored condition : A bike that is unrestored, and still has most of its original partsremember that: a bike can be restored 100 times but can only be original once. Racer Quality = These are collector vehicles that are in good enough shape to be a proud owner and is in good running condition that can be use for racing. Racer Quality does not mean "ready to race". Most motorcycles will need SOMETHING adjusted, tweaked, modified, replaced, repaired by YOU before you ride or race it.Investment Quality = Mid top range for a vintage motorcycle that is worthy of collecting. Is solid and well kept through-out and has value in its originality and condition, which is expected to appreciate with time. Project Quality = We very rarely offer projects and as the word implies these are motorcycles that need extended amounts of work and restoration.
