Suzuki RM500 brochures

I have put some Suzuki RM 500 sales brochure scans on this page. I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions.

1983 Suzuki year code: D

1983 RM500 and RM250 sales brochure from Canada (single page). Click to enlarge. This scan of a larger brochure was sent to me by Andrew Ringdahl, Canada. He comments the new features for the 1983-year's models: “The '83 RM500 differed from the '82 465 mainly from the increase in engine bore size. Other than minor cosmetic changes, the bikes were very similar. With the '83 RM250, fork diameter was increased to 43mm. Engine changes included a different cylinder head (revised squish band), and increased crankshaft inertia. Unfortunately, these changes were a step backwards as the '82 had a more potent powerband. Minor cosmetic changes were the only visable differences.”

1985 Suzuki year code: F

1985 RM500 sales brochure from Australia (two pages). Click to enlarge. These brochure scans were sent to me by Steve Woods, Australia. Printed in Japan in September 1984.
