The Motocross Vault Podcast by Tony Blazier

This is a look back at KTM's all-new 250 motocross machine for 1998. This is an important year for KTM as they revamped their entire lineup with radical new machines that incorporated a no-link PDS shock and sleek new bodywork throughout. While not the best 250 of 1998, the all-new 250SX signaled KTM's willingness to try and go toe-to-toe with the Japanese in the 250 division.

This is a look back at Suzuki's all-new RM125 motocrosser for 2001. This is the first year for the design that would become the last for Suzuki's legendary 125 machine. This machine would take Travis Pastrana to the 2001 125 East Supercross title and almost power him to a second 125 national outdoor title before a series of concussions derailed his title defense.

In 1998 Yamaha brought the four-stroke back into the motocross mainstream with the introduction of the YZ400F. Using technology from their road-race team Yamaha brought an all-new level of performance to the Open class with the revolutionary YZ400F. While this first version was heavy and somewhat temperamental at times, it was a quantum leap forward from previous four-stroke race machines and the beginning of a movement that would transform the sport in the decade to come. 

This is the story of Suzuki's 1989 RMX250. Based on the all-new 1989 RM250, the RMX was Suzuki's most serious off-road Enduro machine ever. While the stock machine was rather de-tuned to meet EPA guidelines, underneath all those restrictions beats the heart of a winner and multi-time AMA Off-Road champion.
