Still one of the bikes to beat in the AMA dirt competitions, the 2014 MY RM-Z250 is a quarter-liter beast which has seen a lot of podiums and is no stranger to the taste of victory. The aluminium frame is now more rigid and provides even sharper handling, aided by the new Showa Separate Function Fork which is lighter and enhances performance both in long straight lines and the sharpest turns.
The radiator was redesigned for better cooling and a rerouted hose helps water flow better and makes maintenance easier. The transmission was also tweaked for smoother transitions and a quick shift feel.
