CRM250 Mk3 1994 - 1996

So here we have the MK3, and this was the model that looked so different to the MK2, yet it was actually a very similar bike. The frame and bodywork was all new again, with much more modern styling, Oil was held back in a plastic tank, but the main difference was the suspension. The suspension while looking very similar to the MK2 was actually very well refined, and while still quite soft still actually seemed to climb up those muddy hills and soak up the bumps much better than the previous models.
The engine was actually the same as the MK2 and performed about the same too. Overall bike weight remained the same at 125kg but actually felt lighter to ride (until you got stuck in that 2 foot deep muddy bog and tried pulling it out anyway). This is actually my favoured bike as it is relatively cheap still, and looks far newer than the MK2 model. The paint schemes for the MK3 were a little sinister to say the least and did nothing to help the bikes sales, yet it was still the favoured choice over the RMX range.
