Damn.

Someone's been using his brain!

I had the Vital MX '17 RM450Z for quite a few months and it was an EXCELLENT & VERY DEPENDABLE track bike. It was very INEXPENSIVE to run. It really woke up w/ an INEXPENSIVE steel and aluminum FMF pipe.

The forks actually work pretty Damn Good IF you adjust them! He shock is amazing.

Then There's THIS: people are buying them for THOUSANDS LESS than other bikes. I saw one for sale at a dealer in Nor Cal for less than $7,000 out the door...taxes, tittle...ALL OF IT.

Note: take the stock chain, chain block and rub block & Throw'em AWAY! Call TP Desgins and get your favorite color replacements (I had one of the Carbon ones and it'll probably be avail to the public, soon).

It's the same Suzuki debate that goes on every month. Either go buy a Suzuki or quit whining

I have ridden a few of them. Never liked them. I would buy one before I bought a Yamaha though...


I get a kick out of everyone in here calling people "mouth breathers" because of their differing opinion. Not everyone is forced to like the same shit bros. Mere simpletons are the type who cannot handle a differingopinion. I hope all of you built windows into your safe spaces....Gotta have something to lick while you're regaining your thoughts.

I've had every brand. I would buy any RMZ in a heartbeat. As far as 4t I would probably go with Zook or the KXF just because I like the way they look better. These bikes are all close

I run the Renthal Twin-Ring, Chain and Ultralight CS sprocket...seems to last a long, long time. I'm running all Renthal on my projects...bars, Grips..some levers, too. The stuff is excellent.

Keep us informed on your fork-progress!

Personally, I don't think you can beat them. I love mine. Got it for low 6's OTD. Put a rocket exhaust on it. And played with the suspension. Haven't replaced a (non crashed damaged) thing in 50 hours.

I've had RM250's, the two stroke but never had either of the 4's. That being said regarding price.....I could not stand the looks of the YZ, but found a left over 450, got out the door less than $7000 and now that I've spent some time on the bike I absolutely love the thing... except for this lol !!!

Dont see how anyone who says they love motocross, express such disdain for a brand that is/was such an integral part in the creation of motocross as we know it. Its like some of you pricks revel in the fact that Suzuki is cutting back production and/or having bad sales in recent years. The biggest two names that ever raced motocross won on Suzuki and that alone should have merit with you mouth breathers, but I digress.




Seems like someone struck a nerve with you? Jeez. The sales are down because people don't think they are as good as other bikes on the market, and that theory is kind of solidified with all the shootout results. Does that mean it's a bad bike? Absolutely not but most feel their money is better spent elsewhere just like Suzuki feels like the money they've been spending to go racing would be better spent elsewhere.

It's funny. I see and hear people bitch about the prices of new dirt bikes and 4 strokes, etc. They clamor for a cheaper option like stripped down 2 strokes. But then we have the Suzuki RMZs - an all around great bike, turns on a dime, plenty of power for the average rider, reliable as the sun coming up. You can buy one brand new for

This comes up every time someone posts something about Suzuki. You may want to check their financials before making such a statement.

Yup!

Also, a New AM. Program in the US including a team run by Brooks.

Suzuki has backed out of markets and programs that they see as "non-beneficial".
That team gets very little support from Suzuki...very little...
