Richard Gerhold from Ohio
Hello Ray,
Sorry no action pixs, we have 8' of snow and ice on the ground, bike is in storage till April. This RL is a 1974 model and they were made for the US market only in 74 and 75. The bike has the original tires and there are still the little titts on them, I would guess the bike has less the 200 miles on it. It starts and runs like a new bike.  This RL 250 is kind of rare in the US as it has the optional light kit installed.  This kit was offered to the dealers in the US to help sell the bike as it could now be street legal.  In 1974 I was a part owner of a Suzuki dealership and I remember that we had 4 of them for sale and could not give them away.  We used two of them for pit bikes at the area MX parks which the shop bikes were racing.  Now some 33 years later they are much sought after by collectors and vintage trails riders. 
 
Ray, here are some specifications, and I attached a couple extra close ups if you can use they.   Thanks for offering parts and service for the old dirt bikes..
Sincerely,
Richard
