I'll buy one and I don't care about the e start. I'm cool with the frame and the engine but I would prefer kyb suspension and really a factory edition with a ti pipe and get back with aluminum gas 

 

Like 2013 I had a ktm 300sx and a 2011 rmz 450. The rm 450 was way easier to ride.

I’ve rode a few 450 zuks and really liked them but I don’t like 450s in general. For guys that like 450s if they could add estart and keep everything the same, better stock suspension settings. What else do you really need?

This just tempts me to buy the RM125’s on my local Craigslist. Unfortunately speaking with my wallet doesn’t help Suzuki.

They ‘feel’ slower compared to other 450s . A slightly upgraded engine and an e start for me

What do I want from them? A full factory effort and presence at the races again. Secondarily, update the bike where it needs it most.

And people still don't believe that winning races and championships helps sell bikes

My brother has a 2024 RMZ 450.  He got a deal onit and has upgraded a lot of it because he had the money to do it.  My other brother has a 2015 RMZ 450.  Super reliable.

Anyone who thinks a showroom RMZ 450 is anything remotely similar to what Kenny just won the championship on is living on a rainbow and smoking pipe dreams. I’m not saying it’s a bad bike, I have no idea, never even sat on one. Just saying don’t think you can get one and it rides anything close to what like Roczens rides like. I suppose this is probably true for every factory bike on the track except maybe Sextons.

Actually, you could probably buy the  motor package from twisted and the suspension package from REP off the shelf and everything else is close to stock or off the shelf with Kenny. 

Only difference is the factory transmission which no one would really notice unless you're an elite rider.

Yeah theres only 2 things that we cant get. Thats the head and transmission.

Twisted will sell you everything and a head thats as close as he can get it from my understanding.

All I want Suzuki to do is put some kyb suspension and have the lowers coated like the old kxf kybs and a dark kashima uppers. Give us the factory head stock and call it a day. Its all they need to do. The bikes of the last 15-20 years are all more or less really good bikes still.

The 06-08 RM250 is likely the greatest 2stroke MX bike ever built.

 

Its 2stroke through and through.

If I were Suzuki I would offer a KR94 factory edition with A kit suspension by REP, head work, Twisted Tuning, and a button.  I think they would sell a boatload of them and it would not take long to get to production.
