I guess all the rumors can be put to rest. They just wanted to put out a quality product.

Who knows the real story, but I believe they had some sort of failure on the early release bikes and had to correct the problem, hence the delayed delivery.

Did you hear that from your girlfriends dogs previous owner who is a factory big wig at Suzuki, or are you just gifted?

Best looking Rmz450 IMO - http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?pic=2/3900151783.jpg&s=x1

Its a supermoto'ed Rmz450 - even though I love dirtriding I still think supermoto is awesome and looks more fun (that is if you get get street legal - I dont think having one only as a track tool is any fun).

EDIT - If you didnt know, the tires have tire warmers on them to make the rubber more sticky... since Ive never seen them do that on a dirtbike I figured some of you might not know what they were.
