About Eric Saunders
In 1999 Eric Saunders began a motorcycle racing odyssey that has taken him to many victory lanes, as well as on many special journey's including a speaking engagement at the Pentagon.
Eric's Father, Irish, through a relationship with friend and business colleague, Tony Stewart, began Eric Saunders/Tony Stewart Racing. A racing team built specifically around Eric's motocross efforts.
Stewart, who is a two-time NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Champion and driver of the Home Depot Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, is an owner of several motorsports ventures in addition to his ultra-successful driving career and after seeing a similar drive in the young Saunders, awarded the youngster the riding opportunity, provided he was diligent and performed throughout his educational process.
Saunders has taken this opportunity to incredible levels. With over 500 wins to his credit, Eric has proven he has the talent to compete in the top levels of motocross racing at local, regional and national events. Only midway through the 2008 season and Eric has already achieved 10 top 3 finishes in 18 races.
Continuing to build on this momentum, Eric will move forward in his racing career, riding once again for Tony Stewart Racing MX in 2009.
Great success has come to Eric through the support and guidance of his father, Irish who is the Team Manager and Ronnie Hapner as the Crew Chief. His mother, Sheila, sister Nicole and brother Garrett are also by his side, supporting him and cheering him on, every step of the way.
The RM-Z250 features a compact, lightweight and powerful 250cc 4-stroke engine design, a strong and lightweight aluminum chassis, Showa suspension components and many high-performance features for the ultimate 250cc 4-stroke racing machine.
The RM-Z250 engine is based around an over-square bore x stroke design, with liquid-cooling, titanium valves and double overhead billet cams. The engine is housed by a lightweight, twin-spar aluminum-alloy frame combining aluminum forgings, extrusions and stampings welded into a single unit. The whole package is supported by a Showa inverted, twin-chamber, cartridge fork and Showa remote reservoir rear shock.
The RM-Z250 features a unique aluminum rear swingarm built using hydro-formed, thick-wall tapered arms welded to a cast linkage bracket and forged axle holders. Other features include Dunlop tires mounted on lightweight aluminum rims with a special spoke/nipple design, plus Renthal aluminum handlebars as standard equipment.
Included with this year's new model are all the benefits of Suzuki's race contingency, trackside support, Tony D School and Good scholar program. All these added benefits are exclusive to Suzuki riders.
The RM-Z250: it's taking the four-stroke world by storm!
Introducing the RM-Z450 with Suzuki fuel injection. Our engineers developed the RM-Z450 using experience gained developing fuel-injection systems for Suzuki's legendary GSX-R road race bikes and the championship-winning QuadRacer R450 ATV.
The result is the world's only mass-produced, fuel-injected motocross bike, designed to help you blow away the competition. As if that breakthrough technology weren't enough, our engineers used their experience developing Ricky Carmichael's championship-winning RM-Z450 to redesign the RM-Z450's chassis, suspension and brakes. That means it offers sharper handling, smoother suspension performance and more powerful braking than ever.
And just so no one misses the fact that you're on the hottest bike on the track, the RM-Z450 is also completely restyled, with new aerodynamic bodywork that's both sleek and functional. The all-new fuel-injected RM-Z450 - it gives you the power to dominate.

"Eric is an incredibly talented young racer. He is doing a great job racing at the amateur motocross level and I can't wait to see what he can do in a car. Eric understands the motorsports business and works very hard to make sure his sponsors get a return on their investment. Eric is a pleasure to work with and I for one, believe he has a future in racing, and plan on being involved in his career for years to come."
