The early seventies were marked by increased interest from the Japanese manufacturers in all branches of off road motorcycle sport. The introduction of the RL250 Exacta trials bike for 1974 marked Suzuki's first attempt at producing a machine of this type. The single cylinder two stroke engine proved to be well suited to the task delivering 18bhp @ 6000rpm and 16.6 ft.lbs of torque at 6500 rpm, unfortunately the frame left a little to be desired, with slow steering and a comparatively long wheelbase resulting in slow sales. Interestingly the machines performance seems to have been reconsidered in recent years with suggestions that it is more forgiving for average riders than the subsequent Beamish framed examples.
This early example was restored by Full Sutton Prison and is presented in exceptional condition, apparently never seeing a section since the rebuild was completed.
