2009 Suzuki RM-Z450 Comparison
If you?ve never ridden at Racetown 395, then you?re in for quite a treat. On a typical morning, the track is as smooth as glass. But for us, in the name of testing, we ordered Racetown 395 extra-rough-style, and they delivered. And so does this year?s 2009 RM-Z450. The?Suzuki feels just as good as…
2006 450F MX Shootout Conclusion
…been simply neglected from the start, but our riders put in their time on the grey beast. There's plenty of good things about the 450 MX.It isn't every day that you see a 450 MX at the local track. That's one of the biggest appeals of the ATK - rarity.The one thing that the ATK really has going for it…
2006 450F MX Shootout Motor Comparison
…more of an off-road bike characteristic. The bike is actually the same as the 450 Enduro but the off-road model has a revised ignition mapping and includes lights.

2007 Suzuki RM-Z250 First Ride
…cramping the riding position, the footpegs were shifted roughly 10mm rearwards as well. Overall the 250's frame is just over a pound lighter than the 450.

2008 Suzuki RM Z450 Off Road Test
…Suzuki has finally caught up a bit with the thumper revolution. It is currently the only OEM in the Big 5 that doesn't offer an off-road version of the 450 and 250cc 4-strokes. Though we fully expect a RM-Z450(X) perhaps as early as 2009, the reason for such is that the 2008 bike is a new generation bike…
2006 450F MX Shootout Weight and Handling
…by these attributes.Ergonomics on all the Japanese bikes were very similar when compared to the ATK. Despite the same seat height as the KX-F, the 450 MX feels long and low from the saddle.

2007 450 MX For My Money
…the others by a fair margin. Other than the Yamaha, the other bikes are just a carbon copy of the CRF. Think about how long Honda has fine-tuned its 450. I wonder what's up its sleeve in the years to come.?Unless you train like Ricky Carmichael, being able to hop on and go is something every regular rider…
2008 Suzuki RM-Z450 Comparison
…as to call it "as bland as your grandma's tuna casserole." That probably makes it sound a little worse than it truly is. After all, how bland can a 450 really be? You can see how riders accustomed to smash-mouth delivery are somewhat deceived by how fast this motor is. Before you write it off, just remember…
2008 450 Motocross Shootout Conclusion
…though there were minimal changes made, taking a year off can be tough in the cutthroat world of big-bore MX shootouts.So did our rigorous dose of 450 moto testing cure our ailing sickness?

Coming into this comparison, Honda?s all-new 450 was perhaps the most hyped MX motorcycle of the model year.
