iding a factory bike is something we all dream about.
Getting the opportunity to do so is a different story, but
we got that opportunity just a few short days after the
SuperMotocross finale in Los Angeles, California. Suzuki gave
us the chance to ride Ken Roczen's Progressive/Ecstar Suzuki
race bike at Fox Raceway, located an hour-plus drive south of
the LA Coliseum. And, to make things even more interesting, we
got to compare it back-to-back with the 2024 Suzuki RM-Z450
production bike. Well, sort of production.
Ken Roczen's "factory"
Suzuki RM-Z450 is
surprisingly easy to ride,
much of which has to
do with much-improved
suspension.
