Suzuki Offers Seven Updated Motorcycles for 2012 by Ron Ayalon
It's the time of year when motorcycle manufacturers roll out their new or newly reworked models for the coming year, and Suzuki has a passel of new offerings. Using the company's own categories, there are four new motocross bikes, one newly revised dual-sport, and two new off road bikes. Two of the motocross bikes and both of the off road bikes are also classified as kids' bikes.
The motocrossers all share the RM designation. They include the RM-Z450 at 449cc, RM-Z250 at 249cc, RM85 at 84.7cc, and the same-sized RM85L. The difference between the RM85 and RM85L is that the latter sports larger wheels, an extended swingarm, and its wheelbase is designed specifically to accommodate larger riders.
The RM-Z450 has a fuel-injected, DOHC, four-valve engine and comes with a 5-speed transmission. It has inverted forks with adjustable compression and rebound damping. The rear shock permits wheel travel of 310mm to eat up the bumps.
On the RM-Z250 the engine is also a fuel-injected DOHC, with titanium four-valve, semi-dry-sump, four-stroke configuration. RPM peaks at 13,500. It has a 5-speed transmission. Says Suzuki, "Tuned to offer superb handling for a wide range of riders, the suspension delivers excellent traction without sacrificing quick-turning ability."
The RM85 is a two-stroke, as is the RM85L. Both the 85s come with a 6-speed transmission, inverted forks, and adjustable compression and rebound damping. Significantly for racers, the RM85's wheel sizes meet AMA 85cc class regulations.
All four bikes come with electronic ignition but use kick starters.
MSRP is listed for the RM-Z450 as $8,399; $7,399 for the RM-Z250; $4,149 for the RM85; and $4,199 for the RM85L.
The 2012 dual-sport is not a new bike, but the venerable 650cc V-Strom with significant new features. Most notable of the upgrades is ABS. While ABS is considered undesirable on the dirt by many riders, Suzuki reportedly determined that 97 percent of the V-Stroms sold never leave the pavement, and thus ABS would be warranted and welcome. If you do want to take the bike off the pavement, an aftermarket kit is available to switch the ABS off and on.
Suzuki is billing the 2012 V-Strom as "The Comfortable Adventure Tourer." The company boasts improvements in engine performance in the low- to mid-ranges, better fuel economy, and styling and bodywork design changes that offer the rider better wind protection. It has an electric starter. MSRP on the new V-Strom has not yet been released.
The off road bikes are in the DR family: the DR-Z125 and the DR-Z125L, both of which are 124cc. Again, the "L" designation tells you that they offer extended ergonomics to accommodate larger riders. Both bikes are air cooled and feature, says Suzuki, "aggressively styled bodywork, number plates and graphics built to look exactly like the race winning RM-Z competition models."
Both DRs come with 4-stroke, SOHC, single-cylinder, air-cooled engines that Suzuki says are "designed for ease of operation and low maintenance." Transmissions are 5-speed. Front and rear are both drum brakes. The curb weight of the DR-Z125 is 194 pounds, while the DR-Z125L only adds 2 pounds, hitting 196. The smaller bike runs a 17-inch tire in front and a 14-inch tire in back. The larger model sports 19-inch and 16-inch tires, respectively.
Both bikes come with electronic ignition but use kick starters.
MSRP for the DR-Z125 is given as $2,999, while the DR-Z125L model goes for $3,099.
All seven of these new models should be available at your local dealership soon, if they are not already, in addition to more than 20 other bikes in the Suzuki family. Whether you're looking for a sportbike, a cruiser, a touring bike, a standard, or any of the types described here, Suzuki can meet your needs. Not to mention your desires.
