FIRST IMAGES just in of Suzuki's 2010 RM-Z250 four-stroke motocrosser.
The machine features an all-new fuel-injected engine, new chassis and revised suspension. The bike's steering geometry is changed from last year, too.
The new RM-Z250’s 249cc, four-stroke liquid cooled, DOHC powerplant revs to an unbelievable 13,500rpm. That's going some for a single-cylinder engine.
The motor features titanium valves, a 43mm throttle body with progressive throttle linkage and a battery-less fuel pump, a stronger and more-rigid crankshaft, revised cam timing and intake ports for enhanced high-rpm performance and an aluminium-alloy cylinder.
Price and availability TBA.
