The world’s first-ever mass produced fuel-injected
motocross machine, the ground-breaking new Suzuki RM-Z450K8 is now
available in Australia.
To celebrate, Suzuki is offering a range of exciting extras
worth over $1500 for a limited time only.
Every new RM-Z450, including previous models currently listed on
new motorcycle stock lists, will include an exclusive
Suzuki-branded, yellow 3x3m, E-Z UP pit tent, a One Industries
graphics and seat cover kit, a Motul start-up oil pack and an RK
520KZU chain - all as used by Team Shift Motul Suzuki - with a
total retail value of $1590 (inc GST).
Suzuki has opened the door to a whole new era in motocross
design with the introduction of the revolutionary new RM-Z450 fully
equipped with advanced fuel-injection technology.
Recently clinching both the Manufacturer's and Rider's titles in
the FIM MX1 Motocross World Championship with Belgian, Steve Ramon
aboard the RM-Z450, Suzuki is again the leader in motocross with
world-first technology incorporated on the latest RM-Z450.
Drawing on the expertise gained with race-bred fuel-injection
systems for the legendary Suzuki GSX-R road race machines and the
championship-winning QuadRacer 450 ATV, Suzuki has now applied
leading-edge engineering technology to the new RM-Z450.
Suzuki engineers have also used experience from developing Ricky
Carmichael's championship-winning RM-Z450 to redesign the
2008-model's chassis, suspension and brakes, offering sharper
handling, smoother suspension performance and more powerful
braking.
Powered by a 449cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid cooled,
DOHC, 4-valve engine, the RM-Z450 features an all-new Electronic
Fuel Injection (EFI) system which offers better roll on power and
improved low-to-mid range power.
The 2008 RM-Z450 incorporates a battery-less internal fuel pump
system which provides stable pressure delivery to operate the fuel
injection and utilises a 43mm Keihin throttle body specifically
designed for motocross.
The all-new, five-speed, constant mesh transmission on the
RM-Z450 offers greater versatility and features a new link-type
shifting mechanism.
The latest version of Suzuki’s flagship motocross machine
features an all-new, lighter frame with a new slim riding position,
creating additional room for the rider to manoeuvre and actively
take control of the machine.
Offering improved shock absorption with minimal weight, the
Showa cartridge-style front forks are fully adjustable for rebound
and compression settings, while the new Showa rear shock absorber
has a re-designed damper case, modified internal structure and
fully adjustable rebound, compression and pre-load settings.
Race-inspired, disc-brake wave rotors deliver better cooling
performance and increased mud deflection, while newly-designed pegs
have increased clearance between the mounting bracket and footrest
to prevent mud from caking up.
Finishing the package, Suzuki’s completely restyled
RM-Z450 has hot new looks, with sleek, aggressive, aerodynamic
bodywork, an edgy, new graphics design and a gold-coloured chain
for a full factory look.
The new Suzuki RM-Z450K8 four-stroke weapon is now available at
an RRP of $10,999 (inc GST) plus dealer delivery charges.
