'Larger radiator for enhanced engine cooling. •All-new RM I 25/RM250-style bodywork. Talk about a radical leap forward. This year, we totally redesigned the RM80 to create the all-new RM8S! And when we say totally, we mean front to back and inside-out, to help it set new standards in performance, responsiveness and style. With an increase in displacement to 84.7cc, its new liquid-cooled, case-reed engine cranks out more horsepower and torque than ever. It's also loaded with advanced technology. It has a new SeEM-plated cylinder that's lighter, more durable and cooler-running than a conventional cylinder. Newly designed one-piece oval-shaped exhaust valves provide better exhaust port sealing for exceptional low-end performance. A new carburetor helps provide instantaneous throttle response across the powerband. And it has a new, larger radiator for more efficient cooling. The end result is a bike that responds with a surge of low-end and mid-range performance launching out of corners, and rewards you with screaming top-end performance. As with every Suzuki RM, the RM8S's chassis and suspension systems are engineered to complement its power characteristics. Which is why the chassis has been redesigned to be stronger and more rigid. That gives it precise handling even on rough straightaways, which gives you the confidence you need to attack the competition on Wide-open tracks. As radically new as the RM8S is, it has styling to match. Its redesigned RM 12S/2S0-style bodywork tells everybody on the track you're serious about winning. The RM8S for 2002. All-new and ready to blitz the competition. $SUZUKI® WWw.suzuki.com At Suzuki we want every ride to be safe and enjoyable. So always wear a helmet. eye protection and protective clothing.
