My current bike a 1998 rm 250 that I got for $150.

My 1999 rm 250 from 2 years ago. Wish I would have kept that. Engine and suspension were amazing on it.

O'neal Pro Style levers. They were funky. I had a pair of polished blue ones on my RM 80 and the ones on this 93 RM 250 were "purple splatter"

Looking good team Vital RM!

It would be good if UFO made some re-styled plastics for the rm's.

The RM250 is obviously a popular bike, and it would not be hard for them to update everything like they did with the yz plastics...

If anyone has a connection to UFO can they please pass the message along? Cheers fellow RM250 Fiends

I've talked with them about it. Its something that has been considered but isn't in the works right now. The investment to building molds is expensive and a lot of work when its uncertain if you will even break even on the plastic.

I think the yz restyle was easier to do because Yamaha was still producing the bikes so there was more potential for sales. The RMs now haven't been made in 7 years so you're looking at a fixed and only dwindling number of bikes out there in the world.

Currently working on my RM125. On the search for a 2004 or newer RM250. Once I acquire on of those, my stable will be complete. I'll have one of each of the RM's and RMZ's!

My 01 RM270, last years winter project. If anybody has a line on a Factory Fatty or PC Works for this bike let me know. The dented up plated Fatty is okay for these bush rides but looks pretty ghetto at track Dizzy Love this bike!
