'Race-proven refinements to engine, chassis and suspension produce better, more integrated balance of power and responsiveness. 'Modified exhaust valve design for improved throttle response across the powerband. 'Thoroughly refined carburetor provides crisper throttle response in a variety of conditions, induding responsiveness immediately following landings from large jumps. 'Tighter piston clearance increases piston durability and reduces mechanical noise. Adams Motorsports 528 N.E. Blvd. Montgomery, AL 36117 (334) 271-5500 CALIFOR IA Hahm Motorsports 125 E. Ball Rd.

Azusa Ave. Covina, CA 91722 (626) 974-6600 Sure, the RM 125 won the AMA Eastern Regional 125 Supercross Series and the 2000 AMA 125 National Motocross Series. But we didn't get to the top of the podium by resting on our championships. Which is why the new RM 125 for 2002 is thoroughly modified for even better power, more responsive handling and lighter weight. The new RM12S's powerband is punched up right where you need it most: in the low-end and mid-range. One of the keys to the RM 12S's improved performance is its redesigned exhaust valve. It directs exhaust completely through the exhaust port - instead of partially directing it into the power chamber - to even out the exhaust pulse for better low-end power and improved throttle response. To match the RM12S's new power characteristics, the chassis and suspension systems have been fine-tuned. In particular, the rear shock linkage is repositioned to produce a new lever ratio. That not only increases ground clearance, it puts more weight on the front wheel. You'll feel that as more responsive turning in tight corners. Add in the RM 12S's extra low-end and mid-range power, and you've got a bike designed to blitz the competition on tight, technical tracks. The RM 125 is also modified to excel on wide-open courses. The frame is beefed up around the steering head for greater rigidity, and it's modified to produce increased rake and trail. That lets you attack the straightaways with confidence. So get on the reigning Eastern Regional Supercross champion - the new RM 125 for 2002. And start building a winning tradition of your own. Escondido Cycle Center 1415 Montiel Rd.
