the GSX750FP and the GSXllOOFP. All three feature the same basic styling as before but with new and slightly toned-down graphics. The 600cc Katana will retail for $4999, the 750 $5899, and the 1100 $7299. The RMl25 and 250 motocrossers are all-new for '93, while the RM80 sees little changes. Immediately apparent is the new styling and color of the new RMs, which feature yellow plastic and black frames and engine cases. Many of the changes were made to increase strength, such as bigger engine cases, larger clutches, and frame modifications. Many sections of the frame, such as the backbone, are now constructed of square tubing. Suspension-wise', both the inverted Showa fork and single rear shock on the RMl25 and 250 feature major revalving, and the rear suspension has all-new linkages. The forks have 18way rebound and compression damping external adjustability. The rear shocks offer 21-way adjustments. Both the RMl25 and 250 have crankcase reed-valve induction systems, however, the 125 uses a 36mm Mikuni carburetor and the 250 a 38mm Keihin. The suggested retail price of the RMl25P is $3699 and the RM250P $4299. The RM80P will cost $2249. Although the off-road RMX250P didn't get the same style changes as the RM250, except for paint schemes, it does share many of the same internal changes as the RM250. It will carry a suggested retail price tag of $4299, The four-stroke DR250P and DR350P off-road only models are back again, but feature very few changes. The only major update to any of the three dual-purpose DR four-stroke models is the addition of an electricstarter to the DR250S, making it even more appealing for the beginner. The '93 DRSs will cost $3499 for the DR250SEP, $3599 for the DR350SP and $3899 for the DR650SP. The '93 Suzukis will start hitting showroom floors by mid-September.
