Don’t believe everything you read on the internet, but don’t discount the power of the internet. Apparently, to quell an internet rumor that the Suzuki RM-Z450 was not in production, and would not reach US dealers anytime soon, American Suzuki Motor Corporation released the following statement today, and even included this photo of the RM-Z450 production line! If our first ride of the RM-Z450 had you salivating, you can have one in about a month.
Enough talk. It’s time to deliver.
Photographed December 3 (photo attached) at the Totyokawa Plant in Hamamatsu, Japan, the Suzuki RM-Z450 motocross bikes are coming off the production line and are on their way to dealerships across the United States.
“We have taken the necessary steps in testing and final development,” said American Suzuki Motor Corp. Vice President Mel Harris, “to make sure the RM-Z450 motorcycle will perform up to Suzuki’s standards. We have made significant progress over the last few years to produce the best MX motorcycles available, and this RM-Z450 will lead that award-winning family of products.”
Shipments of RM-Z450 motorcycles will hit U.S. shores as early as Christmastime, and will arrive in dealerships beginning in January, 2005.
Merry Christmas!
