the global economy is in the dump and there are serious supply chain issues

you retards think they're going to dump all that $$ into R&D for an MX bike that barely sells ??

What is their MSRP compared to the others?

Wonder if it's actually impacting sales, like are people bargain hunting Yellow bikes now?

I just want to know the strategy man, like who the fuck and what are they thinking.

Now that the Austrians raised the prices of their bikes the different is "finally" significant between the Suzuki and the Austrians. But the difference to the other Japanese bikes is really small.
8999 for the RMZ
9599 for the standard Kawasaki
9599 for the standard Honda
9599 for the Yamaha

Suzuki is good bike if you get it for 5000. No way anyone will pay same money as other Japan bikes.

They didn't put new graphics to the drz either. It seems that they don't want to update this bike. No changes to suspensions or the motor. So they may only focused on a complete new bike. When we'll see it? That's a big question!
But that's not a tragedy, while waiting you can switch brand and buy a Honda for example!

I'm just going to postulate a question here... could it be that Suzuki doesn't want to dump tons of R&D money into a category they have already lost? Maybe develop an E-RMZ and be ready to crush it when that segment takes over?

Interesting take..... Who knows. At this point in the game it would be cool to see them do something though...

Never been a Suzuki fan, but in search of a second bike mostly for dunes and snow.

What's the opinion on a 2018 with 1 hour for 6k , good deal?

I am thinking of low balling the dude at 5k.

That's pretty much what I am thinking. Aside from having to learn how to kick a bike over again and the weight, what are the major flaws, the shock?

That's literally the same thing as buying a 2023 model with one hour on it

Kicking them is so easy, they start right up. You only notice the weight putting it on the stand, they feel light and flickable when riding them. They're bulletproof, probably the perfect dune bike.

Kinda like the 23 vs 19 Kawi. I can’t believe you hippies can ride such a antiquated off-road vehicle.

I have previous gen Aussie 450s. Just not the newest 23 gen. So with all the stuff going on with the newest platform, I am holding on to my current stuff there for the track until the 24s come out.

However, I want to add another bike to my arsenal for a fun build, and for some reason building a sick RMZ just seems “fun”.

I could race it sometimes on track days. Buy a supermoto kit for city rips. No matter what a clean, all yellow RMZ just looks so good. Who cares if it’s a little plump.

At this point in my life, buying new bikes should be more about enjoyment than race competitiveness, plus my FC 450 is still the same as the current GG platform.

Someone talk me out of it. Or into it…

Bikes don't suck. The person riding it is the one who sucks.

Your post history is literally 99% shitting on Suzuki or talking shit to Sandusky for liking Suzuki. Insane. I bet you don’t even race.
