  • Suzuki Announces New Models for 2015

LAS VEGAS - Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. announces its new and updated 2015 motorcycles and ATVs at a rock-n-roll-infused Dealer Meeting held at the Hard Rock Casino & Resort in Las Vegas. With a range of new products for nearly every interest and price level, Suzuki expands its model range with new street motorcycles, a new adventure-class bike, plus updated ATVs, sportbikes and entry-level off-roaders. The company even showed its dealers a early-release 2016 street-focused sportbike.

The off-road motocross line-up includes the DR-Z70, RM-Z250, RM-Z450, RM85, and DR-Z125L.

The Suzuki DR-Z70 returns to the off-road lineup in 2015 – the perfect dirt bike for the serious off-roading youth. Whether it is a child swinging a leg over a dirt bike for the first time, or a young rider learning about performance, the DR-Z70 delivers Suzuki-built quality you can trust. The 2015 DR-Z70 features a three-speed auto clutch transmission mated to a friendly 67cc four-stroke engine. Parents will appreciate the keyed ignition to ensure the bike only starts when he or she wants it to start, and kids will appreciate easy-to-use, push-button, electric starting – with a kickstarter, too.

Available in Champion Yellow, the DR-Z70 retails for $1,799.  

Key Features of the NEW DR-Z70:

  • 67cc air-cooled 4-stroke twin-valve engine
  • 10-inch front and rear wheels are sized right for young riders
  • Smooth-shifting 3-speed transmission with an auto clutch
  • Push-button electric starter and traditional kick starter, for convenience and flexibility
  • Chassis designed with child-friendly dimensions, with emphasis on weight savings
  • 22-inch seat height sized for both beginner and skilled youth riders
  • RM-Z racing style in Championship Yellow 

For the 40th Anniversary of Suzuki’s RM lineup, the evolution of the Suzuki RM-Z450 continues for 2015, delivering a higher level of performance demanded by championship-seeking racers everywhere. Powered by a 449cc 4-stroke liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine, the 2015 RM-Z450 delivers new performance upgrades straight from the factory and developed with the help of Suzuki’s top professional racers. The Suzuki Holeshot Assist Control (S-HAC) is a selectable launch mode system derived straight from the factory race bike to help riders launch from the starting gate no matter the gate conditions. Riders choose among three modes with a simple push button on the left handlebar, selecting the best option for their skill level and riding conditions. A redesigned frame increases rigidity and reduces weight by four percent from the previous model. New Showa SFF-Air front forks deliver are lighter, better performing and easier to dial in when adjustments are wanted. Suzuki’s fuel-injection system is made even better with the additional fuel couplers that give riders fuel-delivery customization with no tools needed. 

The 2015 Suzuki RM-Z450 retails for $8,749, and comes in Champion Yellow / Solid Black bodywork.

The 2015 Suzuki RM-Z250 contains all the necessary components for a championship bike. Class-leading handling aided by the Showa Separate Function front Fork, combined with a substantial four-stroke engine, the RM-Z will suffice for any rider looking to carve up the track and win! Like the RM-Z450, the 250 comes with two additional fuel couplers for riders can tune the fuel delivery with ease for different track setups. 

The 2015 Suzuki RM-Z250 retails for $7,599 and is available in a Champion Yellow / Solid Black body. 

Carrying the powerful tradition of racing excellence, the 2015 Suzuki RM85 produces smooth power at any rpm with an emphasis on low to mid-range performance. Just like the larger models, the RM85 delivers class-leading handling for both experienced racers and rookie riders alike. With its smooth power delivery and lightweight handling, the 2015 RM85 is the perfect motocross bike for anyone learning to race—and striving to win!

The 2015 Suzuki RM85 is available in Champion Yellow for a suggested retail price of $4,099. (Reduced by $100)

For 2015, the Suzuki DR-Z125L comes stocked with all the necessities for long, exciting rides. A larger 19-inch front tire and 16-inch rear tire as well as a front disk brake provide a longer lifespan of usefulness. Styled to reflect the RM-Z models, this DR-Z promotes a more race-oriented look while the sharp handling and strong low-to-mid end power provide the get-up-and-go that defines off-road bikes. The looks are a testament that you can’t judge a book by its cover, because the DR-Z125L is a simple package packed with loads of fun. It’s available in a Champion Yellow / Solid Black body, at a retail price of $3,199.
