450 Shootout – In Depth | 2020 Suzuki RM-Z450

 
 

Last week, the manufactures joined the SML crew out at Cahuilla Creek MX for the 2020 450cc Shootout, presented by Escondido Cycle Center. After one final day of riding and testing on each manufactures 2020 450 model, SML test riders sat down and gave us their top pick for the year, as well as their thoughts on each of the bikes. It might come as no surprise that the unchanged 2020 Suzuki RM-Z450 finished up sixth in this years shootout, however, our test riders were still impressed with many of the bikes characteristics, such as the excellent cornering. Listen in to hear what each rider liked and disliked about the Suzuki RM-Z450, and how the 2020 machine finished up where it did.
