2018 RMZ- With a nod to the 79 RM's
« on: February 04, 2017, 04:24:23 pm »
Having a look at the new factory Suzuki MX1 bikes of Strijbos etc, I know its just my warped mind, but is there a little bit of a nod to the ground breaking N models with the corporate triple blue stripes and sharp new lines to the fenders etc...if I remember rightly the first preproduction 125/250/400 N models had a much sharper front guard, more like what ended up on the RM50/80.

As the N model Suzuki's are one of my personal favourites, i did notice the factory bike theme for 2018 was a throw back to 1979.  The shades of blue and sharp lines look great.....
