Early bird for Suzuki
By TMX Archives on 28th Aug 08
WITH Suzuki having been late launching its 2008-model RM-Z450, it is certainly not going to make the same mistake with the 2009 model and with Suzuki GB having just unveiled the 2009 UK motocross line-up, with new variations of the outstanding four-stroke range and a continued commitment to two-stroke models, the bigger news is that they will be in the shops with immediate effect.
Following the launch of the first fuel injected production motocross machine last year with the RM-Z450, which was well received, Suzuki have remained faithful to the winning formula with changes to colours and graphics for the 2009 model year – a change also applied to the successful
RM-Z250.
And with two-stroke models deleted from some manufacturer line-ups, Suzuki GB remain committed for the new year, with the continuation of the RM250 and RM125. Despite the continued debate between small capacity four-stroke and two-stroke models, Suzuki continue to wave the 2T flag in Youth motocross, with the small-wheel and big-wheel variants of the iconic RM85.
Suzuki GB marketing manager, George Cheeseman, commented: "We stole a march this year with the introduction of the world's first fuel injected MX production bike with the RM-Z450, and it proved its pedigree straight from the crate. For 2009, the winning formula remains with colour and graphic changes to both the 450 and 250 with continued commitment in the UK for our RM two-stroke range too, which we believe is still very important and valid for our market.”
All models from the 2009 range are due to arrive at official Suzuki dealers with immediate effect and all also come with free membership to the Suzuki off-road team club. For more information on this visit www.suzukioffroadteam.co.uk
