The RM85 and RM85 are loaded with technology derived from Suzuki's championship-winning motocross bikes. Both bikes offer incredible performance with the RM85L featuring larger wheels and a longer swingarm and wheelbase to suit larger riders. Either way, with smooth power delivery, loads of mid-range and lightweight handling, both bikes are perfect for learning to race - and learning to win!
