Suzuki RC 80 was first released by Suzuki Indonesia in 1984 to replace Suzuki FR-series.
This motorcycle was the first two-stroke underbone motorcycle in Indonesia that introduced Engine-forced cooling system (Suzuki JetCooled) and front telescopic fork system.

The engine's transmission was very smooth, Suzuki applied PECS (Power Engagement Clutch System) that working very well.
Has better power output compare to Yamaha V80, which was the only twostroke underbone motorcycle competitor at that time.
Suzuki JetCooled had been applied to this motorcycle, which makes this motorcycle does not have overheating problems.The durability is among the best of twostroke motorcycle.
Better stability compare to other underbone motorcycle at that time. (Compare to Yamaha V80 and 4 stroke - Honda Astrea 800)
We could see that this bike 'drink' too much gas and 2T oil compare to the competitor.
The braking system was also considered not good.
This motorcycle was on the market only for three years, therefore if you can own one, it is a very rare item. Suzuki stopped the production of this motorcycle on 1987 and released a new model that has larger capacity, which is Suzuki RC100.
