Suzuki announced some
returning off-road dirt bikes and one dual-sport model, each
coming back for 2020 with color updates. Some of these models, like the RM-Z450, received substantial updates in the last
couple of years, so it’s no surprise that they’re only getting updated graphics
for 2020. Others, like the DR-Z125L, DR-Z50 and RM85 have
remained relatively unchanged for quite some time now, so there’s no surprise
there.
2020 Suzuki RM-Z450
The RM-Z450 received a large update in 2018, getting a revised intake
system, a new throttle system and a new engine control module. The aluminum twin-spar frame and swingarm
were also new in 2018, both weighing less than the previous components.
Showa coil-spring forks and balance-free rear cushion. (BFRC) shock were
also new, as were the brakes and bodywork.
There was some speculation around a new V-Strom as the engine does appear to be a V-Twin, the
styling (especially the beak) was more reminiscent of the Suzuki DR800S (a.k.a. the DR-Big).
If Suzuki is indeed about to introduce a new DR model, it’s possible Suzuki is
saving the smaller DR models for that announcement.
