Suzuki is re introing the RM's to the US. Ping

Go listen to the argument with Matthes, and he states Suzuki is bringing them back. Bought F'ng time.

I kinda said this back on April 23rd! Four months ago Glad its finally coming out in main stream media so people quit thinkin im makin up crazy stories! LOL

[TMKIWI]

Is it a new bike or are they still getting rid of their 08's ?

That quote is kinda messed up if you think about it.  A 2008 RM250 is as new as a 2012 YZ250.  Just sayin.

[chump6784]

where can we listen to this argument.

also its crazy that suzuki is still trying to sell 08 bikes and yamaha has to keep producing bikes for 2012. seems not many people like the rm's. dont know why, i love mine

[TMKIWI]

I wonder what the production numbers were for that year (08) of both the RM & YZ.
Maybe Suzuki misjudged the market and made too many.
I would not have thought the YZ out sold the RM by a huge margin. But then again I have been wrong before.

That is where you guys are getting confused. Suzuki didn't make 300 million too many bikes, its just that they didnt want to go to the trouble of designing new graphics every year and rebranding the bike as the next model, they just kept rolling them out exactly as they came off the production line in 2008. And because they look identical to the '08's, they are continuously called an 08. Yamaha are doing exactly the same thing, it is just that they go to the bother of designing new graphics and calling it the new model bike.

Yes!!! Thanks for explaining this to the masses.

I was under the impression that the 08' RM was just that.
Built in 08' and been in a warehouse since.
So your saying they still build them ?

[scotty dog]

Lets hope they keep rolling em off the production line too!
Who knows maybe one day someone might accidently bolt a smoker engine into an RMZ chassis! Now that would be a sweet RM!

Yes that is correct.

As far as I know, the 2 stroke RM models are beiing manufactured in Brazil these days. . .

[chump6784]

Well there ya go. i was talking to a dealer a while ago and he told me they were just clearing the warehouses. obviously hoping to get me interestedted in a four stroke you could hear Tue disappointment when I told him I would have to go see yamaha or Ktm

[MXLord327]

I thought they were just selling off old stock, did not know they were still manufacturing them.  Is this a proven fact, or just conjecture/story telling?
