Too much yellow frame/swingarm. Maybe if just top part of frame was yellow, bottom part of frame was black or grey and swingarm standard aluminum color

I wasn't a fan when those ugly ass things came out the first time, no need to bring them back now. Suzuki needs to be yellow and blue IMO

The yellow swingarm kills it for me......Pretty sweet other than that. Maybe some pink ODI grips. but definitely sand blast all that powdercoat off the swingarm immediately to save this beauty

I'd say go with a Suzuki blue frame and black swingarm.

Ugly as hell but awesome at the same time. Needs aluminum swingarm though.

I like it a lot but the swing arm is the only thing I don't know if I like or not

I have to agree with brad on this one, the swingarm is overkill, other than that, it's a helluva good looking bike.

I'm not encouraging anything that promotes pastels coming back...or shag carpet.

I love it.

I proudly raced a 1992 RM125 and loved it.

I think it looks awesome! But, the reason it looks awesome is for nostalgic reasons, not because I actually like the deign. Know what I mean?

I just love retro stuff, so I'd run the hell out of it. I'd have at least a bare swing arm though, If not the frame too.

I was thinking the same thing as I scrolled down reading the replies.
