You might not have heard of the Suzuki RH67 before, but it’s important in motorcycling history. Why? Because experts consider it to be the first Japanese motocrosser. Not many are left, and this beautifully restored example will probably sell for more than you’d expect.
It’s hard to find definitive records, but estimates are that just 100-200 were built and now about 20 remain. MSRP was about $975, and that bought you a two-stroke single that could produce a claimed 32 horsepower, yielding a top speed of 64 miles per hour. For a period review of the RH67 from Cycle World, check out the always fantastic Suzuki Cycles (not the manufacturer) site.
This specific Suzuki RH67 (VIN: TM250-10022) enjoyed a full restoration from Chris Carter. It was originally part of Floyd Emde’s collection – his son Don also raced RH67s and sent this bike to Carter for restoration. It’s numbers matching and all parts are either refurbished original or NOS except for the front number plate, which is a repro. Since the restoration (timeframe not disclosed), the bike has never been started. It was part of a collection, then was loaned to the AMA Museum. Now it can be part of your collection.
