So many people trash the Suzuki’s on here, yeah they still have a Kickstarter, but FFS it doesn’t mean anything, the right rider can easily win on one.
Remember the Yamaha was a big fat blue pig until Dylan and Eli started riding for them, now all of a sudden the Yamaha’s are amazing.
I really hope Kenny ends up on one to show everyone the bike is more than capable of winning.

Kenny 1000% won't be on a Suzuki.

Suzuki is basically career ending suicide at this point for any top tier rider looking for a possible championship run. I guess it’s better than not racing though!

Because of what reason exactly?

The weight? Any top team will easily trim it to fighting weight with titanium, carbon fibre and other tricks.

Power? Any top team will easily be able to eek out more power than any 450 rider needs.

Kickstart? Is that all you’ve got?



The bike itself wouldn’t be the limiting factor. The team operating it, however, might be.

How? Is it the really strong low end the motors naturally produce, or the amazing chassis they have? Which one of these things is career suicide? Possibly the bulletproof transmissions?

Martin also podium'd Millville in 2020, so that was slightly more recently than Loretta's Ranch.

Three.
Not a 2018+ though. Yet. I keep making cheeky offers on good used ones, but haven’t yet snagged a bargain.

Although, I’ve recently seen this up for sale and I really quite fancy it. It looks mint and the 06 Is dear to my heart. Four speed loveliness!

Sort of irrelevant when they can't even get their bike on the box in current times.

A-mart podiumed on the RMZ but couldn't on the fire breathing YZF.

Baggett first looked like a real solid sx rider on the RMZ 450.

Apparently Savatgy doesn't want the ride the RMZ again but he did no worse on it. To his credit, he must be more comfy on the KXF.

Max Anstie did no better on the SX-F

Bogle did no better (actually worse) on the SX-F

There are usually 2-4 RMZs on the line max and 1-2 of those slow ass bikes are always top 5-10 on the start.

Roczen won a damn championship on the outdated RMZ 450 (that was similar to what came out centuries ago in 2008)

etc...
