Since Suzuki moved the 2 stroke assembly lines to Brasil, (wich i read in a magazine in early 2009 or so)
where they are beïng manufactured from around 2008,
the Dutch MX magazine ,,Noppen Nieuws'' complained about several occasional manufacturing flaws.
The main complaint was that several bolts (from seat, fenders, cylinder bolts and triple clamps)
came loose on stock RM's from the moment they used the low-key Brazillian production lines
and it's personnel.
According to the Dutch mag it was noticable that they weren't beïng assembled in japan anymore...
Over here the RM's never went away, and are still the cheapest choice in 2 strokes.
Prices of the RM's have been just about the same for the last 4 years or so.
I still see both the RM125 and RM250 still kicking ass in the amateur races.
