I got mine for 6,500, revalved it, installed a slip on purely for vanity, and have the best bike i've ever ridden for less than 7,500.
I'm basically an unpaid suzuki diplomat at this point.
Exactly. It's maybe not the most competitive bike in stock form but damn if it doesn't win in value.
They're already ahead of you on that one🤣

I think that is a fair argument. The spot that it currently sits, as a budget friendly option, I can see the argument for. But even with that, it seems like a lot of complaints about the rear shock, the kickstarter etc. So I do think it could stand some small upgrades to an otherwise existing bike and could remain budget friendly. Unless they went all out with a really crazy redesign that warranted a big price hike, I think it could still capture that market. But to be fair, I've seen Kawis going super cheap and they have been getting updates too, so I dunno. But that part of your point, I do totally get. They could leave it alone and keep at as cheap as possible and it has it's niche market, for sure.

Does anyone know if RMZ sales have increased any sine K Roc's tile, and even if unchanged, ( I'll take KYB over Showa anyday) will there be an increase in demand for 2027?
Plenty of other choices on the market, as I stated earlier. Suzuki are on the money, for the budget conscious, whom can then afford to hop-up as they improve. Remember, 95% of bikes sold will never race. Just for the fun of riding.
Right now, it's unique in the market, an affordable enrty into the 450 market. If they fully update, price etc., they're playing in the volcano, with,how many models, Triumph, GasGas, Ducati, Honda, Kawa, Husky, Beta, KTM, Yamaha, TM, (did I forget any?) (Stark?). Why change? If you want 'better', there's options. Suzuki is SMART!
Ai
I think its cool you can ride around on a forever current model with Suzuki
why is your comment still there and mine immediately disappeared and the pic with the rest of the kickstart lever was corrected?
what is going on here??? 😏
Let me guess, this post will also disappear within a few seconds😚

"Add E-start, lose weight, new motor, remain the cheapest bike in class"
Did I do it right?
Seriously though, if I was in the market for a four stroke, I would put the Suzuki on my short list because of the value. It seems that many of the buyers (i.e. their consumer base) think this way.
That's great in theory but in reality the market disagrees
Take away the affordable option? Plenty on track.... Championship winning platform. Nothing to debate here. Want something 'faster', how many options are there? No brainer. I hope they don't mess with it. BNG, go!
Do we know it's the bike that's the problem and not the marketing, race support, contingency, etc? That all has been half-assed at best. Like have we even ever heard Suzuki mention that their bike is thousands less than competitors even once?
Obviously just throwing a few bucks at Kenny recently to prove it as a viable platform has already reframed people's views on the machine.
They cost roughly the same as their competitors . . . until they discount them deeply because they can't sell them.
Seeing a Suzuki in the wild is like seeing a unicorn, they just don't sell many of them.
For the sake of continuing to have Suzuki in the sport I hope they give the RMZ some love.

Hell of a lot more Hyundai customers than Benz buyers I guess.
It's only thousands less after discounts, and other bikes get discounted too. If Suzuki continues on this path, where even a Kove makes it look obsolete, they will not sell any RMZs. To all those "got a great deal" gentlemen who bought a new Suzuki for $7500 or so, it seems foolish when a used 5 year old one is the same thing for even less money - perhaps thousands. It has been stated infinitum they are stone-axe reliable so logically used is as good as new.
That's part of what I'm saying: They have the numbers. They know exactly how many they discount out. They haven't changed the bike... And yet they haven't reduced the price to what they sell them for anyways and made that price advantage part of the sales platform?
That's bad marketing, not a bad product
Everyone talk about the Suzuki being a great value, but when I was bike shopping last, I could get a KX450 for cheaper than a RMZ450 and the KX came with e-start, wifi app for mapping, and better suspension settings. I bought the KX and don't regret it one bit. I want to love the Suzuki, but there are just better deals out there for bikes that offer more.
Exactly. Or a low hour used Honda, Yamaha, KTM, etc.. A new Suzuki is not a deal when a used one that is exactly the same bike costs thousands less.
I would LOVE to switch back to Suzuki, but after 3 knee surgeries I need the button.
If they would just update a few things like that you'd see a huge resurgence of all the old yellow faithful coming back......
That's why 2nd place is always the goal 🙃
Keep riding tractors then, Farmer.
Seems the Suzuki is Amish technology friend.
the rear shock and the valving in the forks.....
You will be washing the front out on that KX. Also be careful when you jump. You must pull the clutch in all the way when brake tapping or the engine will die. Same can be said about entering corners. 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice thing about RMZ is that you can go to the junk yard and parts from the 90’s will still fit the current model.
Gee, junk yard parts is a handy feature.
