Ricky Carmichael Tests 2011 RM-Z at Loretta Lynn's‏




Ricky Carmichael debuts new 2011 RM-Z at Loretta Lynn’s




Brea, CA, August 9, 2010 — Ricky Carmichael was on-hand at the 29th
annual AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships at the legendary
Loretta Lynn Ranch in Tennessee this past weekend. RC was excited to
sign autographs for the young amateur motocross riders and future
racing heroes. While he was there, Carmichael also took an opportunity
to be the first rider to throw his leg around the recently announced
2011 line-up of Suzuki motocross machines. “The bikes are fantastic and
the engineers did a great job building winning motocross machines with
the RM-Z250 and RM-Z450,” Carmichael stated. Ricky immediately noticed
the engine updates and excellent handling—two key features that help
make the new RM-Z’s a perfect weapon for amateur and pro racers
everywhere. “They feel light, compact and very strong.” He added. “I
had a great time riding the new bikes at Loretta’s.”




 


The
2011 Suzuki RM-Z450 (bottom) and RM-Z250 (top) motocross bikes are
race-bred descendents of championship-winning motorcycles and American
Suzuki is excited that Ricky, arguably the greatest rider of all-time,
has endorsed the new 2011 machines.




And
there’s no doubt that the Suzuki RM-Z motocross machines are forces to
be reckoned with…Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki rider Ryan Dungey proved that
earlier this year with his Yoshimura-prepped RM-Z450 by winning the
Supercross championship in his rookie year. Dungey is also currently
dominating the competition in the Lucas Oil Motocross Championship this
summer. With 7 straight wins to his credit, Dungey is showing the world
that the RM-Z is the best bike on the track. He currently holds a
commanding points lead in the series with only four rounds of
competition remaining.
