Suzuki Celebrates 50 Years of RM Motocross Heritage

Brea, CA – (October 15, 2024) – Suzuki Motor USA, LLC celebrates the 50th anniversary of the legendary RM motocross line that started in 1975. Suzuki’s journey in motocross began 10 years prior to that in 1965, when it became the first Japanese manufacturer to compete in the Motocross World Championship. This bold move set the stage for decades of success, marked by technological advancements and relentless competition. As the years progressed, Suzuki continued to innovate, with the RM series making its debut in 1975 with the RM125. This period saw Suzuki’s rise as a dominant force in motocross, producing machines like the RM125, known for its advanced suspension and lightweight design. The RM series quickly became a symbol of championship-winning performance. That legacy continues today with the RM-Z line.

To commemorate 50 years of RM motocross bike, Suzuki has enhanced the popular RM Army Edition kit offering that comes free with any 2025 RM-Z250 and 450 purchased through December 31st, 2025.*
