Looks like 2017 rmz 450 and rmz 250 will boast modest at best changes, again lol. 2018 rmz is supposed to be all new lol

The Shop
now THAT is interesting.
amIright?
i think the problem is everyone is used to honda on their 4 year plan which ultimately F**ks things up. Anyone remember the 08-09 change? it was such a debacle that privateers were not using the 09 bikes
NEW doesnt = better,
BUT they could stand to put in a more durable clutch, lose some weight, add a little better power, go back to spring forks
Had a 2014 rmz 250
Have ridden a friends 2006 rm 250
Have ridden a friends 2012 rmz 450
Have also ridden a close friends 2016 rmz 250
By know means am I at like a testing level of mxa but I'm pretty familiar with suzuki bikes.

Done over 100 hours, haven't even needed to change a shim yet. I'm happy to wait for 2018 :-)
I think with the 125 and 250f you can use all power you can get.
With 450f and 250 2 stroke I think the general public can't make use of all the power that's available.
I am a suzuki guy here too btw... lol
4200.
A Is there any issues known with Suzuki’s? Reliability? Not looking for biased Suzuki fans either lol.
Only upside to this deal is brand new bike with no payments. I planned on buying an 18/19 from the dealership later this year. wasnt planning on buying a Suzuki if I were to finance but I do plan on putting 4K down when I pick one up..
Are these bikes pretty reliable? Also if I remember correctly rmz are smaller sized bikes?
I had a 2012 which was bulletproof, fantastic bike.
Not firsthand experience, but my friend has a 2016 with over 100 hours on it, piston at 50 hours and its been faultless, not sure if there were major changes which may affect them?
