Suzuki announce RMX450Z return

SUZUKI has announced the RMX450Z will be returning in limited numbers to its range for 2014.

The bike will use a revised 450cc fuel-injected four-stroke engine and have both electric and kick start.

The RMX will also have retuned suspension, a lighting kit, endure-specific gear ratios, a side stand, sump guard, and an 18” rear wheel.

Paul de Lusignan, GM of Suzuki GB said: "We're delighted to be bringing the RMX450Z back for 2014. The bike was launched to universal praise in 2010 and immediately went out and won two high profile championships in the hands of Tom Sagar, and we're confident new customers will find out just how capable a machine it is and be impressed with how competitively priced it is, at just £5,995. Despite using the same original architecture of the highly regarded RM-Z450, the RMX450Z is anything but a converted motocrosser, with specifically retuned engine and suspension, enduro-specific gear ratios, while the 18 inch rear wheel aids in tyre choice. It's a factory developed enduro machine."

The 2014 RMX450Z will be available in dealers from 27 January and will cost £5,995.
