How far can you go on a 2001 RM80? Just ask Travis Pastrana - he started out on an RM80 and has ridden Suzuki RMs to the pinnacle of motocross stardom. Of course, what else would you expect? The RM80 - like every RM - is bred for winning.
The RM80 is known for having a great engine, and for good reason. Its power delivery is strong and controllable, so beginning and more advanced riders can ride up to their skill level. The engine has case-reed induction for quick, clean throttle response. And it has Suzuki's exclusive Automatic Exhaust Timing Control (AETC) system and liquid cooling for strong, consistent top-end performance.
One of the best things about the RM80 is that it's at home on a variety of tracks. With its lightweight responsiveness, it encourages you to go out and get experience on all kinds of tracks. The suspension front and rear has nearly 11 inches of travel, and it responds smoothly to small bumps yet offers exceptional resistance to bottoming over jumps. For maximum control, front and rear hydraulic disc brakes provide consistent feel and powerful stopping ability.
So get on an RM80 - you never know how far you'll go.
