Suzuki and Kawasaki are close to completing development of an all-new 250 four-stroke motocross machine. This will be part of the model sharing line-up born from the alliance between Kawasaki and Suzuki.
On August 29, 2001, Suzuki and Kawasaki announced an agreement on their business alliance. As a first step of this alliance, in February 2002, they started mutually supplying motorcycle and ATV OEM models in the Japanese domestic and overseas markets.
While previous models have been developed by one partner, and then sold by both, it is claimed that the new 250 MX machine is a product of joint development between the two companies.
Both Suzuki and Kawasaki will be entering pre-production versions of the machine in this year\'s All-Japan Motocross Championship, which kicks off in April.
The companies hope to be selling the new four-stroke racer from dealers floors by September this year.
