2006 RM250

Superior Fire Power

AMA Supercross Champion Ricky Carmichael and his RM250 dominated the 2005 series. The 2006 limited edition RM250 commemorates this achievement with Team Makita Suzuki graphics, gold colored wheels and a black seat similar to Ricky's championship-winning RM250.

The '05 Suzuki RM250 was awesome, with unmatched performance and laser sharp handling creating a winning balance that simply outclassed the competition in every way. For 2006, the Suzuki RM250 is redesigned for more roll-on acceleration at very low rpm, with power delivery that's smooth and controllable.

Of course, when our engineers get on a roll, there's no stopping them. They also refined the RM250's suspension front and rear, making it more balanced with emphasis on better cornering and straight line performance. Plus, Renthal tapered aluminum handlebars now come as standard equipment!

The best thing about this year's RM250, though, is what stays the same. It still offers a better combination of power and handling than any competitor on the track. And that's a winning combination you can use to take home the gold!
