Suzuki RM series
Japanese motorcycle, introduced 1975
The RM series is a model range of two-stroke motorcycles manufactured by Suzuki. The letters "RM" stand for "Racing Machine" and the motorcycles produced with this prefix in their model names are suited to use in motocross racing.
History
The first in the range was introduced in 1972 with the RM125M, This bike was plagued by mechanical issues (nearly all seized).[citation needed] and a half year model, the RM "S" was rushed out along with a kit of the "S" changes for M owners. The M model is now rare as most were converted to S specs. (ported barrel, bigger carb and different CDI) these were the last of the down pipe RM's and were followed by the RM125A, RM250A, and RM370A in 1976. Preceding the RM lineup was the TM series, which included the TM75, TM100, TM125, TM250, and TM400. Motorcycles within the RM series continue to be manufactured today, the famous RM125 was discontinued in America in late 2008 . The 100 cc RM100 was discontinued in 2005. The RM250 was discontinued by the 2008 model year. This may possibly be related to changed class structure.

Why this record matters
“Suzuki RM series” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Suzuki, series and Japanese provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q749924. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1972, 1976, 2008 and 2005.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
