Brea, CA – June 12, 2024 –  Suzuki announced its first wave of exciting 2025 motorcycles and ATVs today. Giving a sample of what’s to come for 2025, today’s announcement covers a selection of models from a wide group of segments. From DualSport, Sport, Cruiser, Scooter, Offroad, and Youth ATV, our new model year begins to take flight. 

These 2025 Suzuki models offer attractive new color and graphics options in the iconic GSX-R sportbike lineup, while the proven DR650S DualSport continues as one of the most solid and reliable bikes in its class. 

The proven line of RM-Z motocrossers returns after a successful year in professional racing, and Suzuki’s Boulevard cruiser family of products continue to combine statement-making style with exceptional value. The sophisticated Burgman 400 scooter rides into another year as the scooter that can do it all. Easily ride around town on errands, or tour cross country all while being incredibly fun and easy to ride.

Rounding out these new 2025 Suzuki models are offroad youth motorcycles and ATVs, each with rock-solid engineering, class-leading Suzuki build quality, and useful features helping ensure confidence-enhancing fun for young riders as they learn the sport.

Motocross

The Suzuki RM-Z is heralded as one of the most celebrated motocrossers in AMA history. Many of the sport’s most renowned racers proudly piloted RM-Z helping the RM-Z earn its place as the champion’s choice. The 2025 RM-Zs continue to deliver legendary cornering, nimble handling, high peak power, and proven durability for virtually any style a racer or offroad enthusiast rides. Combine this solid platform, its exceptional value, and Suzuki’s robust amateur racing support from the RM Army contingency, choosing the 2025 RM-Z450 or RM-Z250 is easy.

RM ARMY EDITION

The successful RM Army Edition program continues for 2025*. Buyers of new 2025 RM-Z450 and RM-Z250 models will also receive the following components to upgrade their new bike:

RM-Z450 – The 2025 RM-Z450’s sleek, race-ready appearance, strong engine, and nimble chassis provide the effective power and precise handling that affirms Suzuki’s race-winning legacy. Tuning the electronic fuel injection and ignition systems for maximum performance is easy thanks to Suzuki’s smartphone-based MX-Tuner 2.0, or proven fuel-coupler system included with each 2025 RM-Z450.

Key RM-Z450 Features

  • Thanks to Suzuki’s industry-leading design and production standards, shifting the five-speed transmission is smooth and precise, while the multi-plate, wet clutch uses a lever and cam release mechanism for a light and direct feel.

  • Suzuki’s MX-Tuner 2.0 is included and provides the ability to adjust the fuel injection and ignition settings though a smartphone application, while the Suzuki Holeshot Assist Control (S-HAC) and advanced traction management system provides the rider a performance edge.
