Rupp Factory Documentary

Post by Mark Loraine » Mon Mar 30, 2026 9:34 pm

Newly released on Yotube about Rupp in Mansfield, haven't watched it yet, May be an a i creation as most of YouTube has been infested with compilations of inaccurate so called Documentaries; among a whole lotta other headfaked scheisse.

What really gets me is that the thumb nail image of a Rupp RMT 80 wasn't even covered, which is why I clicked on the clickbait. I had hoped they would be covering that as well as the RMX 125 which was my first introduction to a "Power-Band" and that was pivotal in my adolescence.

Really surprised that Rupp came out with the RMX 125 especially since Ohio is the home of Penton. Although the Rupp shared the same engine and gas tank shape and quite a few quality components as the Penton it was viewed as nothing more then a Penton copy that had no mx or enduro pedigree.
