I find that after hours of riding, the RM-Z250 is
still easy to ride and hasn’t worn me out as much
as previous bikes I have ridden. This is mostly due
to how well it handles and how well the power
is to manage. The stock suspension is easy to
set up and very easily adjusted. Having a good
suspension set up makes racing a lot easier, and
is one of the key things Suzuki has done right in
the new 250.
The new RM-Z looks good and feels good with
the new sharp and modern looking plastics. I
love the sleek feeling of this bike as it’s not too
large or heavy between the legs, which just
adds to the overall nimbleness and handling
of the bike. This has been made possible by a
lighter frame. Suzuki has put in a lot of effort to
making this bike a more racer-friendly machine
and I am enjoying every minute on it.
One of the cool new features Suzuki have done
for this bike is the new WiFi tuning kit. This allows
you to change map settings to however you
like. This allows you to set your bike anywhere
from an aggressive setting to a mellow setting,
depending on what suits you.
Another thing I like about Suzuki’s is that they
are kept simple which makes them easy to work
on and maintain. They are a very reliable bike
and just keep going. The power is very useable
which makes it very easy to hold onto while
riding for long periods, as well as having power
at your right hand when needed.
Racing both motocross and cross country
is made easy as this bike is very versatile
and handles the different disciplines easily.
Reliability and handling are big factors in both
disciplines of the sport and Suzuki has delivered
that in a great all-round motorcycle.
