2009 Suzuki Motocrossers

2009 Suzuki Motocrossers

            Yes it’s already that time of year again when the new bikes begin to come out. We’ve already showed you a first look at the 2009 Yamaha’s, and now here are the new Suzuki mxers.

            The biggest news from Suzuki for 2009 is probably that they are no longer producing two-strokes as the 250 and 125 have both been discontinued. Also noteworthy, though, is that the RM85L has also been discontinued. Regardless of the discontinued bikes, below you will find all the early-release information on the RM-Z450, RM-Z250, and RM85.
