The Suzuki RM-Z 450 is a Off-Road style motorcycle with an MSRP of TBD and is a Carryover for 2011.The 2011 RM-Z450 has undergone numerous updates: it now meets a stricter AMA noise limit (94db) while keeping smooth engine output; the compression ration has been increased from 12.2:1 up to 12.5:1 for higher output; intake and exhaust timing has been changed for better engine feeling with lower noise output; and ECU settings have been updated for more linear acceleration and improved over-rev.Here in the U.S. and around the globe, the RM-Z450 has helped racers collect wins and trophies, fiercely competing in venues from the World MX1 series to America’s AMA Supercross championship. It’s no secret that Champions Choose Suzuki!

Some of these refinements include meeting a stricter AMA noise limit (94b) while keeping the engine output smooth, increasing the compression ratio from 12.2:1 up to 12.5:1 for higher output, and changed the intake/exhaust timing for a better feeling.

Due to the numerous wins their motocross bikes have, this formula has proven to be successful for Suzuki. And their goal for 2011 was to make their championship-winning machine even more potent right out of the crate.
