The 2012 model of the championship-winning Suzuki RM-Z450 is now
available in Australia, race ready out of its crate and set to
deliver results.
The 2012 RM-Z450 continues the legacy of its ground-breaking
predecessor, the 2008 RM-Z450, which was the first mass production
motocross motorcycle to feature electronic fuel injection.
Globally, the RM-Z450 has taken champions across finish lines
ahead of the pack for years and is the current AMA Pro Motocross
Champion.
The RM-Z450's 449cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid
cooled, DOHC, 4-value engine has been developed and refined to
deliver phenomenal idle-to-redline thrust.
Pioneered by Suzuki in the motocross category, the Electronic
Fuel Injection (EFI) System uses a reversed throttle movement,
which directs mist away from the valve to produce more power and
enhanced throttle response.
The electronic fuel injection systems three fuel maps (lean,
standard and rich) allow riders to fine tune their preferences to
suit track conditions.
The RM-Z450's rigid, twin-spar aluminium frame is accompanied by
an advanced subframe, linkage and rear swingarm, whilst the
race-bred Showa suspension provides sharp handling, improved
manoeuvrability and maximum traction.
This potent powerplant also features a five-speed, constant mesh
transmission and impressive brakes package to produce a
race-winning package.
With its aggressive looks, the 2012 RM-Z450 is guaranteed to
catch the eye of observers and now sports a red gripper seat cover
and black fork leg protectors, set off dramatically by the updated
graphics adorning Suzuki's traditional Champion Yellow / Black
livery.
Motocross and supercross racers of the Suzuki RM-Z450 are also
eligible to register for Suzuki's Support Rider program, offering
generous contingency payments on national and state
championships.
New for 2012, the Suzuki RM-Z450's comprehensive spares kit now
includes an air filter, additional oil filter and a piston ring set
to help keep the machine in top competition shape.
