When we talk about an American dream engine then you quickly go from Pro Circuit. And even in one stroke. No valve or camshaft engine that we put on the rack today. As a basis of the cocktail Dirt Bike Avenue, the Belgian importer for Pro Circuit. Has prepared. This is a breathtaking cocktail immediately became both in driving experience and for lovers of good stuff ...
It is me how many special pieces at this Suzuki are both in the block on the frame. Pro Circuit exhaust and muffler, Pro Circuit triple clamps (aerospace quality aluminum), V-Force reed valves, foot rests, wheels Haan Wheels a whole range of carbon protectors of Lightspeed ... and then we did not talk about the suspensions, prepared by Pro Circuit itself in the U.S.! The list of goodies is long and that makes it more special RM 250 only.
Two strokes are not the stillekes years?
A nagging question arises, however. Why so much work on a two-stroke engine, which were really outdated compared to modern instruments celebrating? There Hugues Felix, owner of Dirt Bike Avenue, disagreed. "There is definitely a nice play due to two strokes. Like me there are many pilots flying the lightness, the "business convenience"and the handling of a 2T appreciate, "said Hugues enthusiastically. "What can a stroke compared to a relatively limited budget for a two-stroke prep match to a nice level. Financial terms of maintenance and there is certainly no comparison! So why would you give yourself a favor? "
Agreed, it is cheaper to have a stroke all the way to get points, but the Pro Circuit RM 250 received this treatment, you can still count on a sloppy â?¬ 6000 (see below the budget in detail.) For a second opinion, we appealed to Philip Raffa, former Inter in the FBL, the RM 250 and someone inside and outside because he knows a lot of season drove. Although Philippe later stepped on a four-stroke made ??him fun to get back on the 2T Soes sit.
"Surprisingly, no U.S. SX springs!"
On the one hand the suspension or for a sense of security, but they quickly seduce you into an attacking driving style. For riders at a certain level they are excellent although it would be slower riders agree that the suspension a little too hard to find. "As expected, you notice that the top block by Suzuki has been pimped," let us know a test pilot. "He is also a lot stronger and richer torque at the bottom compared to the original engine. That he would be able to surprise a novice. However, its flexibility and torque curves to allow a lower gear to cut than the standard block. If you throttle feel him pull it, but not to be brutal. The gearbox ratios are fine, you never see him come to an end. "
For the suspension has Hugues Felix Pro Circuit specifically asked for a soft setup earlier. The result was verrrassend in the positive sense. "At first sight, the suspension both front and back hard. Say American style, for Supercross. If you are driving this impression disappears quickly: both on small bumps and under braking is smooth and precise on how the suspension works. The biggest jumps the suspension works very progressive. Very efficient and reassuring, thus Raffa. "
In short, this is a smooth engine, easy and powerful who do not have to take the most impressive acts celebrating. While we have to admit that these RM 250 over the duration of a race it is less tiring than the most celebrated acts of today.
You could almost nostalgic for the era of the two strokes were. In any case, the evidence that the branched still on their guard for machines that are sometimes labeled as a technology of yesteryear. An important note here is the level of the pilot. You simply have a certain level of driving required to get the most from such a motor. But if that's the case, then why not try something different again?

That is a sweeeeeeeet looking bike! :D
-
WoW that was kinda hard to follow, but I made it. All three of those RM's are sweet. But the bottom one has FMF logo on the shroud and a Pro Circuit pipe,lol. No biggie.
-
Wow, those are sweet! Where are they racing them at? I noticed one of them had a black number plate background, so I guess it's racing in the Lites class?

I'm not sure what the regulations are overseas? Or at least it looks like it's overseas?

I wish I could find any of those graphics kits sets (with seat cover) online somewhere!

I remember Mike Brown piloting that thing in 2006.
He actually posted better finishes on the 250 then the 450 he rode in the earlier rounds. I think he got some top 10s or top 5s on the smoker, after everyone had switched to 450s
-
Great looking bike.
-
nice

does anyone know the limit on how old a bike can be to race in ama supercross/motocross and if say the rm's were passed that limit could someone import one from england or somewhere they are still imported and still be legal to race it?

The bike has to have been submitted to the AMA by the manufacturer. There in lies the problem, because most OEMs don't bother to submit their 2-stroke lines anymore.
Here's a website that tells what is and isn't legal in AMA Pro Racing, as you can see Suzuki hasn't submitted a 2-stroke to be included since 2006.
