Cycle News RMZ450 First Impression

[DCox]

Here is Cycle News' first impression of the RMZ450. If this wasn't a first-year model, with all the inevitable bugs that will need to be addressed (maybe), this bike would probably be at the top of my list.

Thanks for posting that Darrell.

Interesting that the shock was faulty, probably a one-off, but just makes you wonder....

makes you wonder why someone at Suzuki would not check out the bike before sending it to a magazine for testing.....

[DCox]

Suzuki seems to be slowly addressing the fit and finish issue, but they seem to have a ways to go on simple items like cheap bolts, etc.--but nothing major.

From the sounds of it, the power this thing makes does sound sweet.

It does look like a good bike in the vid and like you said Darrell it does sound sweet.

Some people on Thumper talk got some RM-z450's in and they love them. One even has a CRF450R and likes the RM-z better. He has a comparison if you want to read it.

I would love to read it. Post the URL if you have it, as I am getting ready to pick a new bike up soon . . . .
