Suzuki GB is pleased to announce the launch of a second special edition model built to pay homage to America’s most successful motocross and supercross rider ever – The RM250 Ricky Carmichael special edition.

Based on the iconic 250cc 2-stroke machine, the RM250 Ricky Carmichael follows in the footsteps of the recent RM-Z450 model, by offering a unique specification that mirrors the AMA Champions race-winning machine.

Talking after the recent Stoneleigh Dirt Bike Show where the new bike was unveiled, Suzuki GB general manager Steve Callahan commented, "We are delighted to bring the RM250 Ricky Carmichael to the UK. Along with his extraordinary achievments in AMA Supercorss on the RM250, this new model also celebrates Ricky’s record fifth award as the AMA Pro Racing Athlete of the Year. its yet another accolade for America’s greatest racer".
