The limited edition looks preaty good but the stock bikes should go back to the yellow and red from 2005. Yellow and blue never look good together in my opinion.

 

[bedell99]

I actually think they look pretty good. I'm was pretty surprised to see how much they put into there 2-strokes.

the 450 got a lot of upgrades for 06. They are going after the CRF pretty serious aren't they. :ride:

The 250F just has new graphics, blue and yellow?? not good. they should have stuck with the red and yellow. and at least updated the suspension. No one will buy that bike.

 

[bedell99]

Steve I don't think they had a choice with how the alliance between kawasaki and suzuki fell apart. Your right no one will buy the bike, but I do like the yellow and blue.

The yellow and blue actually doesnt look all that bad once i looked at it the second time. The first time I didnt like it, but the second time it didnt look all that bad.

I like the yellow and blue.

Very surprised with the amount of mods they made to the rm250 for low end. The way they make it sound is it will dig a trench.

Though I'm not a suzuki or 4-stroke kind of person, the Limited edition RMZ is pretty blinging:)

It seems like all they addressed was low end HP on every model....I sure hope they don't sacrifice the ability to rev it out.

I went to Suzuki's website for more pictures and looked at their 4 wheeler and it has an all blue seat with yellow bodywork just like the old Suzuki's of the late 80's and 90'.

I don't mind the yellow and blue, but I don't like the dual tone seats on any of the Japanese bikes. I'd like to see one of the new RMs with an all blue seat.

I am very glad and excited for Yamaha and Suzuki for keeping and updating their 2-strokes. I think it will help them gain more of the other brands customers because not everyone wants the four strokes for the obvious reasons. If these other manufacturers only rely on the four strokes it will, I think, bite them in the butt!

 

[john3_16]

I thought the black seats on the 04' RM's looked really good....Interesting that the 06' Makita Suzuki RM250 replica comes with a solid black seat...But I agree, a solid color looks looks better than the two tone.

Thats what I was saying in another thread. If everyone goes to only 2 (or 3, including KTM) brands for 2-strokes than it could also give the company more money to spend on their 2-strokes. It could revive the 2-stroke completely after a while.


I think the Yamaha seats look cool in two tone, but thats about it.

The only other thing I don't get is the "4" on the RC bike. That might work on a JR50, but 90% of the people who buy the 250 will replace that. That said, it looks good, otherwise.

LOL....Kind of cheesy like the old YZ 80's that came with a #1 on the number plates.

The limited is not a 4 stroke... it's a 2 smoke!

It's just called: RM250Z not RMZ250!

With RC winning the titles this season, Suzuki is set to sell a boat-load of RMs this year.
With that sweet looking limited edition there will be allot of "Rick Racers" to contend with on our tracks.

Have cameras ready, it will be a stellar year for photo-ops :ohmy: :yikes: :laugh:
