QR Code Link to This Post
True vintage 2-stroke motocross monster.
This 1998 RM250 was professionally rebuilt by Naults of Manchester and has barely been ridden since. If you know these bikes, you know the late-90s RM250s are legendary for brutal power delivery, insane torque, and rock-solid durability.
This bike is FAST, clean, and mechanically extremely strong.
Highlights:
• Complete professional top-end rebuild
• Complete professional bottom-end rebuild
• Transmission rebuilt professionally
• Barely ridden since rebuild
• Original cylinder specs retained
• Original bore configuration maintained
• Massive compression
• Starts first kick
• Clean idle
• Strong clutch feel
• Tight, precise shifting transmission
This bike has the rare heavy long-stroke crank setup that newer bikes simply don’t have anymore. The torque is violent and immediate — true old-school 250 two-stroke power.
Compression is unbelievable. The kickstarter has serious resistance and the engine feels incredibly tight and healthy throughout the RPM range.
Transmission shifts beautifully with that solid “mechanical chunk” feel through every gear that tells you the rebuild was done correctly.
Handles excellent and feels planted, aggressive, and race-ready. These RM250s were built for motocross and still outperform many newer bikes in raw power and excitement.
The engine was rebuilt to precision while keeping original cylinder/ring specifications intact — no hacked-up overboring or shortcuts.
Perfect for:
• Vintage motocross
• Collectors
• Woods riding
• MX riders wanting real 2-stroke power
• Enthusiasts who appreciate classic Suzuki race bikes
This is not some worn-out project bike. It’s a professionally rebuilt RM250 with very low time since rebuild.
Comparable rebuilt vintage 250s out west are bringing $5k+.
Price is VERY firm at $4,300.
