Fork tube diameter h as bee n increased 2mm to 35mm; fork action seemed to be a little soft. The fr on t. en d has th e sa m e amount of travel as th e rear, but the forks a re much softer. We bottomed them o u t mu ch eas ier ov er th e jumps, and hard braking for turns al so used u p most of the trav el. Stopping the RM80 is easy than ks to the strong, F ront d isc brake. Out - back the re is still a drum brake that is very effective, and combined with the strong disc up front overall brake ac tion is more than adeq ua te. O verall hand lin g on th e R M80 is excellent. It goes where it 's pointed, tu rns quickly and tracks well. But then agai n that could be because a bigger rider is better able to manhandle the smaller bike. Su zuki has come u p with a potent m in icyd e in the R M80. With a powerb and th at is be tter tha n th at . found on some 125s, good sus pension a nd ha nd ling, th e R M80 is goi ng to be tough to beat, whe the r . in the hands o f a small or a large • .rider.
