[MotoMan]

I got a brand new RM 450 in my garage!!

Check it out:




No...its not mine, but it sure is pretty.

An for a minute there I thought you saw the light.

[MWV46]

Very Nice! I'm jealous. I think I would probably trade my red 450 for a new yellow one, maybe even a green one, if I had the cash to do it.

Its nice of Suzuki to put a little blue on it, so even you can ride it.

[cowboyona426]

I almost thought we were going to have to beat you silly because you had lost your mind! It would look a lot nicer if it were blue and said Yamaha on it, but what's the story?

I never comment on any of thsoe Imposter Yeller Bikes

Sweet looking bike. I'm wondering why RC and team Suzuki isnt running those colors also. I believe his seat is still black..

[Woody_393]

Yeah Jim, what is the story?

[Keetoman393]

Come on Jim... what's the story??? Had to jump on the band wagon myself.

That is a sharp looking bike!

[Vintage Dave393]

RC's seat is black because, well, he still has that irritable colon syndrome.

[GopedTTr]

That looks *****en!!

I guess you guys want to know the whole story eh?

The bike belongs to a friend of mine, Randy. He has been riding for a long time and when I was healthy we did ALOT of riding together, he's a good rider and may join us here on ATM shortly, he just got internet access and a computer last week so he is still enjoying the "pleasures" of the internet. lol.

As for the bike itself, no one has even ridden it yet it has been started...twice. It's just to damn cold here to even think about it right now. I am trying to get him to take it down to Motoplex but he hasn't yet.

I cannot wait to ride it, one because I love new bikes and two, because I want to see how well I can hang on. I can assure you I will give as detailed a report as I can once it warms up here. As for the color scheme...It kinda makes me nauseous when I look at it...IMO the graphics have to go.

Oh he came off a '04 CRF 450.

Thats the story.

[TRXman86]

sure is purdy though yea the color is definatly is a mix of vomit in my mouth and baby poop LOL JK looks like the ne ltr 450 quadsm imagine that

[MWV46]

You guys are harsh! I love the color scheme! The graphics could be better but I like the colors, kind of retro, they remind me of my 79 RM80. I didnt like the yellow and black scheme it reminded me to much of an old Yammy

[Woody_393]

I don't mind them either, and I look forward to the review.

[Keetoman393]

I like the colors myself. That is saying a lot coming from a guy that bleeds blue!

P.S. Jim, STAY OFF THE BIKE IN MARCH!!!!

March and April. lol.

[zoohoot393]

Yeah...follow Dr. Keeto's orders

[MotoMan]

Well we got the bike out last evening for it's initial run...it was fairly muddy, but hey they can't stay new for long.

I took her for a short spin around my track, and found that I really really like the way that bike turns, I have NEVER ridden ANYTHING that turns so effortlessly as that Suzuki, you just point it where you want it and it goes there....period. The motor was a little weaker down low then my Yamaha was, but the power band is very pleasant to ride. Longevity will be the deciding factor here, we will see.

I didn't ride for very long, but I did ride long enough to realize that when you can't feel your left hand....it gets interesting trying to find the clutch lol. I will say this though, I CAN ride, not for long, but I can do it....one more year.
