This is the last big change for the Suzuki RM250. It gets a new frame and bodywork, new engine cases with an external water pump and a new power valve. At this point, the Suzuki is very close to the top of its game. So is Yamaha, and the two companies battle back and forth for the honor of top bike. Honda’s 01 CR is in the hunt, too, but then takes a step backward in 2002.

The 2006 MY RM250 is a two-stroke quarter-liter dirt racing machine which has been used by Ricky Carmichael and he proved that it is indeed a champ's bike. Quick throttle response, amazing power and torque for riding hard and excellent damping capabilities, even when landing really tall jumps.

The 2007MY brings several updates for the Suzuki RM250. This quarter-liter dirt racer receives a redesigned seat with textured side panels for better grip, redesigned exhaust ports, revised engine placement inside the chassis, while the suspensions have also been tweaked and made lighter.

This quarter-liter 2-stroke is now more maneuverable thanks to the optimized mass distribution and you'll be able to get more from the 5-speed transmission whether you'll be riding fast and jumping mounds or drifting around corners.

This bike is a tough-as-nails engineering marvel and can also take a beating. The strong chassis is complemented by racing-grade Showa suspensions with enhanced adjustability, while the pegs and bars are also complying with the rigors of hard riding. Cue powerful hydraulic brakes, precise cornering and a narrow, easy-to-flip profile for the ultimate ride.
