Suzuki RM 125

The following year, 1978, the decision was made to widen the model range and the PE175C was released. This was again based upon an RM Series machine (the RM125) with appropriate alterations. The PE250C continued its development and had many small but effective improvements. The PE175C was built upon the RM125A frame and 6-speed RM125C components, along with the "A" softer suspension. Lighting and speedometer were provided courtesy of TS Trail/street machines. All PE's until the PE175Z had 36mm forks common across each model year with damping and spring-rate changes to suit. This new PE175C was keenly priced and proved immensely popular.
