1983 Suzuki RM

1983 SUZUKI RM500 – ULTRA RARE. TWO-YEAR ONLY PRODUCTION. INVESTMENT GRADE
If you know… you know. And if you don't—read carefully. This is the rarest of all Japanese open-class two-strokes. Period. Suzuki only produced the RM500 for two short years, in extremely limited numbers.

Estimated fewer than 3,000 total units worldwide

Roughly half made it to the United States

Put that into perspective:
We'll restore 100 Honda CR500s before we see ONE RM500.
They simply do not come up for sale—anywhere.
THE BIKE
This particular example has undergone a full comprehensive frame-up restoration, bringing it back to a level that honors just how significant this machine truly is. From the chassis to the engine, every detail has been addressed to create a bike that is not only visually stunning—but mechanically dialed.
WHY THIS BIKE MATTERS

Rarest Japanese 500cc motocross bike ever produced

Two-year-only model (1983–1984)

Far rarer than CR500, KX500, or YZ490

Even compared to the Yamaha WR500 (approx. 1,000 made), this stands apart due to its ultra-short production run and near-zero survival rate.

PERFORMANCE & PRESENCE
Fire it up and you'll understand immediately—
This thing sounds absolutely wicked. It's a raw, violent, no-compromise open-class monster—a true representation of the golden era of 500cc motocross. Loud
Fast
Unapologetically brutal
Exactly the way a 500 should be.
INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
With collectors waking up to just how few of these exist, values are climbing fast. You just don't see these come up for sale.
And when they do…
They don't last. We've had hundreds of CR500s through our shop.
RM500s?
Only a handful. Ever.
FINAL WORD
This is more than a motorcycle—It's a museum-grade piece of motocross history and one of the most elusive Japanese dirt bikes ever built. We'd love to keep it… but it's going to auction. Don't miss your chance—this will be gone in a New York second.
