Man those Suzukis look awesome!
That mechanic is well spoken.
Never was a big Suzuki fan but those bikes look beautiful. Suzuki needs to update their bikes now they are popular again
Kris, thank you for giving "la raza" some love! Mr. Medina, is very articulate, knowledgeable, and professional! Mike is very well spoken and any rider would be lucky to have him as their mechanic! The bike is stunning, too bad KR94 doesn't run a yellow seat, also loved the look with the white plastic that was used in the past! Best wishes to Mr. Medina, Twisted Tea HEP Suzuki, and you Kris, thank you for the content!
It looks so good
Shane is better than his results this year. He’s won a good bit of 250 SXs and also went 1-1 outdoors a few years ago. He should be a 7-10 rider.

I agree. He was also doing really well when he filled in on the Husky team, but seems to be struggling now

Don’t think he has it in him to be 7/10 guy . Seems to just make it hardly to main and the. Coast around
Beautiful.
Man i absolutely love those fork tubes
Stunning machine👍🏼
Seems like a great guy
Just got one of the 2023s for $6500 out the door, including a full Yoshimura exhaust system and an army graphics kit. Adjusted the suspension today and I have no idea what everyone is hating on. I’m 60 years old 2 fused vertebrae in my neck, three fused in my back, double knee replacements, and a screwed up shoulder. Started on the third kick and was hooked up like it was on rails. More torque then the YZ. Just a ripper for Half the price of any other 450 with a Yosh pipe. Believe me, this bike is better than 90% of the people that ride. Very slender in the middle and just a great buy. I was very concerned because of all the bad Press I have seen about the bike .Despite not being changed since 2018 but what I found out is,I have the best looking 450 on the market and it pulls like a train. Don’t waste any time if you can get your hands on a 23 with the free pipe and graphics kit,grab it quick. Completely thrilled. Been riding since I was five years old and I have a YZ250FX,also have a KTM 150 and 300 as well as a Honda CRF 250. I keep going on like a kid at Christmas, because I think of all the money I spent on these other motorcycles, and this thing will smoke them all and I haven’t even put on the pipe and had it tuned yet. Lol. 😂

I was recent shopping for a new street bike but took the time to look at the RMZs they had in store. You’re right, they are slender and good looking! When I live in a better area I’ll be looking to buy a new RMZ250 at the right price.
The best thing is the kick starter .. ,,, no need for a Butten,,
Suzie is the most beautiful bike on the track!!!👍😎🇫🇷🏁
Ths is a real dirt bike . For champ
The best Suzuki
That’s a nice restomod on a 97 rm500
What is the little lever below the kill switch??? Hit start? Launch release?

Hot start. Releases heat from engine making it easier to start is what I was told.
They need a push start
The rear fender looks too high up same a roczen

Super segment. To much power. Dont slam Suzuki
I can tell keefer is from the high desert just by his leather face.
Do you mean the god mobile? As much as he talks to his imaginary friend, you would think he’d be closer to the front.

I wish Suzuki would step it up The bikes are beautiful. Its an old design but if Webb,Tomac,and Sexton all still had kickstarters they would be the same speed they are now.
