History[edit]

The Suzuki RM85 is Suzuki's mid size Two stroke motorcross dirtbike. It competes with the likes of the Honda CR85, Kawasaki KX85, and Yamaha YZ85. It is a 5cc increase up from the former Suzuki RM80

Engine[edit]

The engine was a liquid cooled single cylinder, two-stroke. A 48.0mm bore x 46.8mm stroke result in a displacement of just 84.7 cubic centimeters.

Drive[edit]

The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet multi-plate.

Chassis[edit]

It came with a 70/100-17 front tire and a 90/100-14 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a telescopi fork while the rear was equipped with a link type, coil spring, oil damped, adjustable spring preload. The RM85 was fitted with a 1.32 Gallon (5.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 152.12 pounds (69.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 48.82 inches (1240 mm) long.

2002 Suzuki RM85[edit]

Born in 2002, the RM85 was created for the smaller motocross enthusiasts. This machine replaced the RM80, both sharing the disc brakes, the liquid-cooled single cylinder two-stroke engine, and the rigid aluminum cradle frame.

The 2004 MY Suzuki RM85 is a great entry point 2-stroke motocross machine which offers a high-performance platform in a non-intimidating trim, allowing young riders to hone in their skills prior to hopping on the big bikes.

The bike received a lot of minor tweaks for better ergonomics and reliability, while the suspensions offer racing-type performance with countless setup possibilities. The smaller rims offer better balance and a more reassuring feel to shorter riders, as well.

2004 Suzuki RM85L[edit]

The 2004 MY RM85 is a neat bike for young riders, but in case your kid is taller than the rest, this bike could be less than satisfactory. Still, this doesn't mean you have to change the bike, as Suzuki's L version of the RM85 is already here. The RM85L is equipped with bigger wheels which offer better ergonomics to taller riders, as well as a longer suspension travel.

The engine remains the same punchy 85cc 2-stroke mill mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and offering the same premium MX racing experience as the big bikes, only at a smaller scale. Great as a beginner's race bike, the RM85L is also a wonderful choice for weekend fun in the wild.
