SUZUKI RM-Z250

The Suzuki RM-Z250 is in desperate need of

an upgrade and it looks like it will get it this

year. However, there is still a place for it in the

Lites class as a cheap, reliable, do everything

motocrosser. It's not the fastest and it doesn't

handle the best (it is a close second behind the

Honda). It doesn't have all the latest gadgets or

the championships hanging on its mantelpiece.

But it has a place in my heart.

In 2014/15 while ADB was based in Melbourne

we transformed an RM-Z250 into a rec-rego

racer. In a year worth of bush bashing we never

blew it up, boiled it or broke anything. It was

easy to ride and easier to maintain. But what

excited us most about this little Zook was the

price. The manufacturers RRP still has it down

as $9990, but considering the model hasn't

changed for years, we've seen brand new older

model RM-Z250s still on dealers floors selling

for around $8k. Now that's cheap and cheerful!
