1992 RM125 SMALL by teyblyy, on Flickr


Here is my number one seed. Hard to imagine what the hell Suzuki was thinking with this one. The worst was when I saw guys with these just putting the numbers on OVER the stripes. At least they were actually good bikes.

Not to pick on Suzuki but the 91 was only marginally less hideous than the 92.

OK to me this was really a low point for Honda. The 95 Factory Honda's this year were some of my favorites of all time but the stock bike just looked silly to me.

I have this bike lol. Still with the original purple and yellow seat. It still runs like a scalded dog, but I spend more time working on it than riding it.

I know millions have been spent on advertising hyping this up, but I'm not too crazy about them!

The 92 RM is the worst looking by far, but then most of the 90's graphics were hideous. Take the 1994 YZ for example.... the designer must have been a comic book fan.

No worries at all bud! i love that pic, check out how identical my orig scan was, i used that as my av everywhere for about 8 years or more until my friend Josh finally made my custom OC one that is influenced by Ricky Carmichael's RC logo.

Hey, now!

In their day those things were pretty cool, until ya looped it! That was a great era to be a Team Green rider: those rear fenders weren't cheap!

Neither were the: Clutches, Pistons(kits), Shifters, Swg-arm bushings...all of which were hi-wear items.

Speaking of, surprised no one has posted a pic of a Roken.
And how about any of the "big wheel" bikes from the 80's. Nothing like ATV tires on a dirt bike!

I broke the rear fender once when I had this bike and one also got broken when I let someone else ride it, lol.

I think I went thru 3 of them, that year and 2 at the Am. Nat's...so, that's 5. They sent us all home from the Am. Nat's w/ spare plastic and tires!

This line of RM's were pretty fugly! everything all square, front and rear fenders, it was pretty lame how blocky they were.



I had the 50:



*ive posted this one a million times but, as fugly as they came stock, mine was trick! I had this weird rounded duckbill front fender (you can kinda see it), and custom tank cover and bar pad made by the Vohlands grandma, she was such a rad lady! (the whole Vohland family were awesome, great people) and it had Curnutt shocks, remember how squeaky they were? that is my brothers RM80 in the background.

Back then these bikes looked pretty damn nice.
They BROKE IN HALF; but, they looked good!
