I've always wondered why nobody's made a zilla trike yet?

I am pretty sure that is CR500 in a suzuki frame.I agree. RM500 motors didn't look like that.

Was there ever a water pumper RM500?

[Red Rider]

Was there ever a water pumper RM500?Yes sir, and the Quadzilla 500 motor looked an awful lot like it. The RM500 got axed from the RM lineup quite a few years before Honda & Kawasaki dumped their 500's.

Nope, no production water pumper RM500. I had an 85 for a few years, last year of production, and the only RM500 with a disc brake.
Suzuki made several works RM500s for the GPs, but I don't know if any were used in the AMA. Canadian hero Ross Pederson also rocked a RM-CR500 in the late 80s.

Nope, no production water pumper RM500.You're absolutely correct! I should have researched it, rather than going on memory alone. The RM500 was only produced from 83-85, and they were all air-cooled models. I guess I was confusing the RM250 & LT250 Quadracer that had very similar engines. :wondering That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.
