The 2004 MY RM125 is a small-displacement 2-stroke beast engineered to deliver top-notch performance for beginners. Small, lightweight, nimble and yet punchy to the max, the RM125 shares the upgrades with its quarter-liter sister. This means a new piston, redesigned exhaust ports and valves and plenty of other improvements in the frame, suspensions, brakes and ergonomics departments.
While the 2004 model year looks very similar to the previous versions, the changes will make a solid difference on the track. If an eighth-liter machine is next on your shopping list, you'll have no regrets getting this one.
