Your Collection: 1984 Suzuki RM125

Sunday, November 6, 2011 | 6:00 AM

This weeks collection comes to us from Otniel Antezana in L.A.

"Hello there, I'm sending you guys my father's latest project, his fully rebuilt 1984 Suzuki RM125 Full Floater. He spent a lot of hours working on this bike and got it running/looking like gold. This bike won the first Glen Helen Vintage race of 2011 on Vintage GP3. My father is 50 years old by the way... his name is Tito Antezana. We are from Bolivia but been residing in Los Angeles for ten years now. We love Dirt bikes."

Thanks for your time,

-Otniel

I never raced a "full floater" did ride a couple and after you got used to the stinkbug efffect they were really plush. Probably the most exotic rear suspension ever on a production bike.

Nice old bike -- I had an 85 when I was a kid, was almost identical except it had a front disc. Congrats on the resto and good to see it's still getting some track time!

Almost bought that bike myself, it was on the LA Craigslist for about a month over the summer for $1700.

Sweeeeeeeeet. Those bikes really had character. I love the era where people developed the bikes hoping to eek out a compeditive edge. Those days are gone, and now the better rider almost always wins. While the better rider used to win even back then, we all had room to delude ourselves and it really felt great. Reality sucks.
