In racing, you judge a bike's performance by its ability to launch you into the winner's circle - which is where you'll find the Suzuki RM-Z250. The reason is simple. The RM-Z250 has an incredibly balanced combination of power and handling. Its wide and strong powerband lets you accelerate hard out of corners and rocket down the straights. Optimum engine braking invites you to charge hard into corners. It's exceptionally easy starting hot or cold. And has a lightweight design for precise handling even on the toughest tracks. And for 2006, its engine and transmission are refined for easier operation and increased long-term durability. The RM-Z250 - it promises race-winning performance, and delivers on the promise.
