Vehicle Information
Suzuki RM465 Dirt Bike (1981-1982)
The Suzuki RM465 was a prominent motocross bike produced for the 1981 and 1982 model years. This powerful two-stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, displacing 464 cc, delivered 51 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 57 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. A key innovation for the RM series in 1981 was the "Full-Floater" rear suspension system, enhancing its performance on the track. Between 1981 and 1982, the RM465 remained largely unchanged. The 1982 model was practically identical to the 1981 version, with any differences being minor cosmetic updates. Engine specifications, including displacement and power output, were consistent across both years. The model was primarily offered as a single "Base" trim, with designations like RM465X (1981) or RM465D/Z (1982) simply indicating the model year. A significant evolution occurred in 1983 with the introduction of the RM500, which featured an increased bore size and succeeded the RM465.
