upermoto racing is one of
the most exciting things you
can do with your clothes on.
It's a perfect mix of road racing,
flat track and motocross, each
discipline required at one point or
another during the lap.
Over the past few years we've
built a couple of supermotos, but
those have essentially been just
throwing some wheels and brakes
at a Suzuki RM-Z450. All we did
was a few track days,t as the pace
of Cycle News life meant we could
hardly get a free moment to go rac-
ing, much less develop a steed that
could handle it.
For 2018, we had a new Suzuki
RM-Z450 sitting around the office
and since a year ago we moved
right next door to the gurus at AHM
Factory Services, we decided to
build another bike. Only this time
we would finally get into the sus-
