Ace!- hard to believe this was a 'Normal' Sunday back in the day! good strong riding here!, especially keeping hold,- raced all three of these and Rm500s are are real handful after a few laps. They had good back ends tho' _Fantastic vid.

You need to fan that clutch to keep it in the power band otherwise you go nowhere fast. great little bikes but you have to cane them to make them go fast. wish I still had one.

nice one smx Horsham.. i rode that bike there age 19 in 1984.... great memories i was happy being a clubman.. c group was enough... i got an rm250 and got competitive in B group.. but the kids came along... had another try aged 42 in 2007 on a yz125 at horsham... fat.. unfit.. me hands were fooked after practice.. arms pumped.. nice to re-visit but its better as a young mans memory.. horsham is such a good clubman track.. ..

Bought the first one new to race the 82 season , freshened it up & raced it in 83 . That off season l found a used but mint cond 82 less then 100 miles away for a reasonable price so l happily bought that bad boy , god l wish l had mothballed that one for later in life lol , but l didn't , l rode the crap out of it & sold both off , quit mx & went to harescramble racing from that point til now but l'd love to find a good 82 RM 125 or 250Z to race vintage stuff .

Wow. Me too. First MX race for me was in 84 on a 82 RM 125 at A place called Bithlo outside of Orlando. It seized over a jump in first moto. Luckily I was so slow it wasn't disastrous. I was able to free it up before 2nd moto. It survived 2nd moto. Ofcourse after that I bored it and put a new piston in it. Loved that bike. Handled good and rear suspension was very good for the times.

So at this club you turn up do practice 2 laps ,, then all riders do a qualifying race 3 laps ,, and then you get graded into a.b.c.d groups etc :) and you have 3 races in that group over the day. :)
