  • Kris Keefer and Dallas Dunn went to State Fair MX to ride and talk about the 2021 Suzuki RM-Z450. Keefer hits on the features of the model and compares the bike to past models. He also acknowledges the RM-Z450 is extremely reactive-in a positive-to modifications you can change, including engine mounts, suspension, and more. Keefer also explains the Suzuki RM-Z450 is a reliable machine. Kenny Day and Dunn also show off the "RM-Army dap down." Watch Dunn in action on the Suzuki and hear what the duo says about the RM-Z450.

    Most people judge bikes based on reviews and the experts who typically review them. This review had an average guy who loved it, which I liked to see. Suzuki's are the easiest of all the brands to jump on and feel comfortable. They are great handling bikes that are easy to feel good on. That's the most important part to me is handling/comfort. I love Suzuki's and the way they ride. They're super reliable as well.
    Kawasaki is my other go to brand. I've always felt that both Suzuki and Kawi have that comfortable feeling over the other brands. My first bike ever was a Yamaha YZ85 and it was the number 1 bike that year based on every review. Immediately I did not feel comfortable on the Yamaha, it felt very aggressive. I then sold it and got a Kawasaki kx85. On the Kawi I was immediately comfortable and fast. Suzuki is the other brand that I noticed this instant comfort with. Ever since that point, I'll only buy Kawi and Suzuki.

    I ride a 2016 rmx450 and its been magic, valves never need adjustment pulls well always starts first throw. I think suzuki is the only company who truly understands what motorcycling is about.
    They are supposed to be fun, reliable, accessible and usable. All the manufacturers just keep pushing the price up and up and making them peakier and harder to ride for a long time etc and it defeats the purpose of motorcycling. The average weekend warrior should jump straight on a suzuki, save the money for track entry and fuel for the truck and bike. Ride more.

    Just purchased a 2021 RM-Z450 last Saturday, such an amazing bike, handles like nothing I've ever had or rode before. I get such a kick out of all the folks on VITAL MX dogging it or how the magazines "say without saying" it's trash. I'm happy I was able to support an amazing manufacturer and our sport by purchasing a new bike. **Insert RM ARMY DAP DOWN HERE**

    For the price you get the Suzuki you can use the extra $2k you have and set the bike up the way you want it, engine, exhaust, and suspension mods you want, tires, etc. Then you have a great bike made for you, not some factory set up for $10k.
    I would rather get a bike for $8k and spend the other $2k to set it up my way, Then it will be just as good as any KTM, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, etc. If not better, because it is set up to your weight and riding style.
