Speaking of price, that's also
where this bike gets interesting. The
"official" MSRP of the 2018 Suzuki
RM-Z250 is $7749, but a quick search
on CycleTrader.com will show you how
little that number actually means. Con-
sidering there is an all-new RM-Z250
in the queue for 2019, that means big
discounts on the remaining 2018 mod-
els. Eyes akimbo for some smoking
deals, kids. And a fat factory discount
could more than pay for the exhaust
and suspension re-valve that you're
probably going to get no matter what
brand you buy, right?
BOTTOM LINE
The Suzuki suffered in our
2018 250F comparison,
but just as we suspected, a
few turnkey upgrades will quickly
elevate the RM-Z250 to a much more
competitive level. Add to that the de-
pendable, well-rounded nature of the
Suzuki and you could have a great
bike for the right rider. CN
