It’s a great pleasure to introduce Takoyaki our managing director of Suzuki Australia. We welcome all of you along to our Suzuki 2010 RMX450 new-mown presentation and product launch. The most successful competition races in recent history added in many supercross motocross and off-loaded championship. The Suzuki trophy target the new Suzuki rmx450 jet is the latest embodiment of everything. We have learnt from the cat program and designed to offer the finest enduro machine to the market.
Here we are at the 2010 rmx 458 launches we’ve waited for this for a long time. We’ve been wondering when they’re going to turn their 450 four-stroke motocross machine into an enduro bike. It is we’re stoked about it so I’ve got Adam Riemann here with me we’re at the official launch. We’re going to put it through its paces. We’re all excited it was going to be electric start which is what the market needs and this class needs.
We knew that was going to be fuel-injected so the RM said such a good package. We knew that I could really base a good model office racing. There’s a lot of people who don’t need to travel on a road to get to where they want to ride. You know in that market it’s you the leader that class has like car-like electric. Start the little trip meter on it the speedo stove the gearbox. It’s a wider ratio box in the R&Z so it’s perfect.
They come restricted which is a muffler plug like a battle in there so you remove that. It is a throttle stop that is removed in their airbox it a rubber-like snorkel thing. It still restricted and then you just use the power-up unit to know your program. They’ve done and given it more power just listening to some of the other guys. I think it’s quite abrupt and aggressive for enduro bike but you know that is it they’ve made it. As a competition by it, not a complete trail package someone’s expecting a WR or a CRE they’re not going to get it now. The horsepower like an aggressive motocross.
Enduro riding like the response to launch up over blog rock ledges or it isn’t a hunch which is good. I think for a more average guy just like me you could get yourself in trouble with that. I think you’re more likely to get yourself out of trouble when you don’t see something. We can just give it a snap I think it was smart and hook up. I found the traction pretty good considering you know we had a mixture. Today was quite wet and slippery under the trees quite dry on rocky and dusty out of the trees. You know in racing off-road the grass track tests it would be a good grass track bike.
Initially, I felt it was to float it around like a boat. I was so impressed having ridden the arms edge on the shootout and motocross. The motocross bike that is part is based in 2010 that’s what I was expecting. I was expecting that same brilliance that mojo and then realistically I had to do a lot more work than expected. I am just playing with the clickers and getting it to handle me on in these conditions. I went back to standard on and into the bush and I felt a lot better on it. With your settings, it was just too hard for me and I was reflecting a note.
It was just too hard when I softened it I found it a lot better but still hazards your competitive edge. It’s not a bike you’d ride to relax on. We’re not started getting up at it actually started feeling a lot better. I started to enjoy it generally the Japanese have a bad habit of taking their motocross bike and just turning it into a fat farm button. They haven’t done that with the Suzuki like it just slides it’s when you think it’s just an rmz with a headlight.
