| Suzuki's profilation of this bike | 
  | It reverberates like thunder and strikes like lightning. It´s the RM-Z250, the four-stroke motocross weapon that´s been taking the competition apart. The RM-Z250 has it all. An incredibly wide and strong powerband that lets you launch out of corners. Optimum engine braking. Exceptionally easy starting hot or cold. And a lightweight design for precision handling on the toughest tracks.  |
