Just because Suzuki hasn’t updated their RM-Z450 in a few years doesn’t mean this machine isn’t a viable option for most consumers. Sure, you still have to use your right foot instead of your finger to start it, but if you’ve been riding dirt bikes for a while, this isn’t some horrific news. When Ryan Pursley of Throttle Syndicate told me he wanted to build himself an RM-Z450, I immediately wanted to be a part of it to see if a yellow bike could make me smile while ripping around the hills of Glen Helen.
