At the 2011 RM-Z launch day Suzuki had a RM 125 & 250 for the press to ride.
There is a 5 page spread in the latest DRD magazine.
It's a good write up. ;D
If i get some time i might try to type it out for you guy's.

Quote: Two-strokes are two-strokes, there is nothing quite like them.The high pitch song when shifting through the powerband,the lightening corner entry speed from the lack of engine braking and the weight that just isn't there throwing you around the track makes them so much fun. Once I jumped onto the RM250, I didn't want to get off it- and I basically didn't. Ed

Here are the lap times.

              RM125           RM250      RM-Z250     RM-Z450
Karl        2:14.9           2:14.1      2:10.4      2:11.9

James      2:15.0           2:10.1      2:10.4      2:10.5

Chris        2:17.0           2:15.0      2:14.6      2:14.0

Interesting how different the times are.
Oh by the way.The "NEW" RM is 4 years old against the latest 4 strokes. :-[

i was considering buying a brand new RM before i got my bike, could have had it for $8000 or something like 11g for a ktm 250 two banger, honestly why would you pay that much more for a ktm???
