Anyone know more? I haven't seen a announcement or even a hint at them and the other brands are hitting dealer floors.

As a Suzuki owner super bummed they aren’t improving the 250 motor after years of criticism...

Suzuki was the first brand to release their 2019 models. They’ve been out since 2010.

Is it ok that I am laughing on the outside, but crying on the inside?

You know they read all the ride reports and shootouts so it’s not as if they’re unaware. There’s only one explanation for their decision to continue to not upgrade the bike to keep pace with their competitors... it’s obvious it’s yet to hit them where it hurts: their bottom line. As long as they continue to sell, they’ll prob keep churning out the same package. As soon as they see a significant hit to their sales, you can bet they’ll get an upgrade out.

Suzuki is presenting the 19s to the public in july. And the 250 will be all new and the engine will have a lot of upgrades. It wont be a radical new engine like the KX450 but it will be changed from 18, more power

Clear info is published on the fact Suzuki is and has been moving all production operations into one facility in Japan this year. They had production divided into 3 separate factories in 3 different cities, now, it becomes one. This has and will continue to delay release of the 2019 models. Honda had delays a few years back with introduction of the new 450R due to massive factory damage from a weather event.
It's still far from 2019, so no rush!

there's no solid info right now...
the 250 kxf 2019 has only new graphics (and it was supposed to have some updates)
so just be patient and don't trust everything you read!

Suzuki was bought by Harley. They are working on an XLS250 Slim and FXST450 Fat Boy.

Rich Taylor (long time Suzuki test rider on Matthes' show last night) said same same on 450 and new from the ground up 250. Chassis, suspension, body work, and motor upgrades. Says he's doing more testing, so the bike will probably be delayed a bit.

Kawi 250s are usually a year behind big brother 450, same with Yamaha and Honda. Why make significant changes for 2019 when 2020 will be an all new bike?

Long term loyal Suzuki owners must be getting impatient by now... all three of them.

I think pretty much everyone has moved on by now. Not because the bikes aren't good, but because Suzuki hasn't been giving the consumer what they want, which is more updates, more often.

So, no one's riding Suzuki anymore?

Ok. Got it.

How many hours have most of you guys ridden this year?
How many races?
How've you done?

Now, for every 20-30 hours:
How many parts have you replaced?
How many valve adjustments?
How long has your plastic lasted?
How does your bike handle?
How much have you spent on maintenance?

You see, I've got A LOT of hours in the new RMZ450 & it has been amazingly durable, dependable and...most importantly...
VERY inexpensive to operate.

The bike handles like a typical Suzuki...superb.
It turns like a champ in sand, hard-pack and ruts...again, typical Suzuki.
I'm jus' sayin'...

Are they attracting new customers or appealing to loyalists and bargain hunters these days?

I'm with you man. I bleed Suzuki and have never had a bad one. The '18 450 is the best bike I have ever had and yes, I do ride the other brands......but for some reason just have a hard time being a sheep.

Did I say that no one rides Suzuki anymore? No, I didn't. If you want to tell me that there is as many people riding yellow as ten years ago, you're delusional. Quote somebody else's post if you're trying to make a completely unrelated rebuttal with attitude. Been a Suzuki fan for a long time and have had plenty. "jus' sayin'...

Went to LACR this morning for a private rental and there were as many Suzuki’s as ktms. Then 1 husky, 2 kawis, 1 Honda and 4 Yamaha’s. LanghamMx will back me up on that. the vet guys really like the Suzuki’s. Oh and not one of them was newer than a 17

I hear lots of posts about the new RMZ450 working great for vets and being easy to ride, but how does it work for quicker/younger riders? I’m in the market for a 450 right now and a shop close to be has one for 6800, I love the looks and the spring fork and don’t care in the slightest about no e start.

Post a reply to: Where are the 2019 rmz's?
