If you’ve gone to a Supercross this season you may have noticed this under the Ride 365 Racing tent. This is a 2014 Suzuki RMZ 450 chassis and a 2005 RM 250 2 stroke engine thrown into it.

Engine Department:

• Motor has been ported and polished
• V Force Reeds
• FMF exhaust
• Carb has been jetted and tuned

Onto the rear of the 2 smoker with icing on the cake. An FMF Shorty Silencer.

The frame mod was done by Service Honda. The tank and frame were polished for the build. Notice the factory foot pegs.

Up front the bike features 21.5mm Factory Suzuki Triple clamps and Showa A-kit suspension.

The RM controls are Renthal 996 handlebars with soft compound grips. The seat is done by GUTS and is shaved down.

The front brake rotor is a 280mm with a Nissin caliper.

A 51 rear tooth sprocket and 13 front was installed for gearing. Wrapped around the spec Dunlop tires are Excel rims.

Here you can get a close up look at polished gas tank and trick fastners that are littered across the machine.
