I've read here and there that there will be an all-new 450 for 2018 along with (at least) a new 125.

They should just go all out and put Yellow rims on it and call it a factory edition.

I do love my Suzuki's though.

Apparently Suzuki is on the 10 year plan then?

The 2018 better be damn good.

It has always been a good looking bike, plus if you get it at the right time of year you can find new ones considerably cheaper than anyone else. At least in our area.

What are the Suzuki factory riders riding in the Japanese nationals? That's always the easiest way to tell what's coming to the U.S. dealer show rooms.

Yosh exhaust, factory graphics, yellow rims, RMZ450FE badging and charge $2k more. Watch em sell.

The Ktm FE's also have different front suspension.

The most underrated bike sold. Don't bag on them till you ride one that's set up right.

....get a step stand. Laughing That's what I did. They do feel like they are stuck to the ground. Maybe that's why they corner so well. Woohoo

To be honest, my little brother has a 2013 RMZ450...and though the scale says its heavy...it doesn't feel like it when riding.

My 09 feels like a dead horse when trying to load it on the stand after a hard 10 min moto lol. But it's very nimble on the track. Which is where it counts! Actually I think if there was a decent grab hole in the side shroud it wouldn't feel so fukin heavy. Makes my sons old 125 feel like a damn Bmx bike haha

Went the black rims route- bro!
- looked great and different for about two months then they looked like poop




Prefer the yellow...
If they don't hurry up I'm liken the TM 300's w/ their sweet but trick blue and white color scheme and parts
... It's not how fast you are, it's how cool the bike looks is what motivates you to get out there and moto!!!!
