For 2005, the Suzuki RM250 is thoroughly modified to crank out more low-endand mid-range power
than ever with power delivery that's smooth and controllable.
Ofcourse, when ourengineers getona roll, there's nostopping them.They also refined the RM250's
suspension front and rear, making it more stable and responsive on tight, technical tracks and more
plush on rough, wide-open courses. Our engineers shaved weight off parts from top to bottom, making
the 2005 machine a true featherweight.
The best thing about thisyear's RM250, though, is what stays the same. It stilloffers a better comblnation of power and handlingthan any competitor onthe track. And thaI's a winningcombination you
can use to reach the top of the podium!
