The engine was a air cooled single cylinder, four-stroke. A 48.0mm bore x 37.0mm stroke result in a displacement of just 67.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a single overhead cams (sohc).
Drive[edit | edit source]
The bike has a 3-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Centrifugal.
Chassis[edit | edit source]
It came with a 2.50-10 front tire and a 2.50-10 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via expanding brake (drum brake) in the front and a expanding brake (drum brake) in the rear. The front suspension was a inverted telescopic, coil spring while the rear was equipped with a swingarm type, coil spring, oil damped. The DR-Z70 was fitted with a 0.79 Gallon (3.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 115.74 pounds (52.5 Kg). The wheelbase was 36.81 inches (935 mm) long.
2008 Suzuki DR-Z70[edit | edit source]
Who said small bikes cannot mimic the looks and feel of bigger competition bikes? Here, have a taste of pure coolness with the 2008 MY DR-Z70, the smallest member in the DR-Z family and by all means, probably the cutest. This brand new addition to the DR-Z line-up is targeting the youngest riders, and brings convenience- and safety-focused features, too.
The bike has electric starting but the ignition is keyed for increased peace of mind. DR-Z70 comes with a three-speed semi-automatic transmission to make riding easier and yet highly educational, while the front brake lever is adjustable to fit any hand size.
2009 Suzuki DR-Z70[edit | edit source]
If you still think that kids' motorcycles look funny and lack personality, here's the 2009 MY DR-Z70 for a change. Despite the small-displacement and simplicity of the bike, the DR-Z70 packs at least as much aggressiveness and racing-derived styling as any of the big-bore beasts out there. The 4-stroke 67cc single is mated to an easy-to-use three-speed semi-automatic transmission whose centrifugal clutch makes operation easy and allows kids to become familiarized with shifting and power deployment.
The DR-Z70 is built like a tank and can take a beating... because the youngsters will surely abuse it big time. Anyway, with an adjustable front brake lever and a low seat height, the DR-Z70 will surely provide awesome fun time in the dirt.
2010 Suzuki DR-Z70[edit | edit source]
The DR-Z70 is one of the nifty choices for an all-purpose off-road bike your kids can ride. With ideal dimensions and a non-intimidating stance, the 2010 MY also sports 10-inch wheels and excellent ergonomics youngsters will simply love. The bike comes with both electric and kick start but the ignition is keyed for full parental control.
The 67cc air-cooled 4-stroke single is mated to a fun 3-speed semiautomatic transmission which keeps things efficient and easy-to-use. And with an adjustable front brake lever, everything should feel natural for any rider.
2015 Suzuki DR-Z70[edit | edit source]
The 2015 MY DR-Z70 is a great way to introduce your kids to the fun world of off-roading. Small, built like a tank and capable to take a beating and still run perfectly, this air-cooled 67cc singl also arrives with an automatic clutch. This makes using the 3-speed transmission an easy task even for first-time riders and helps them build the much-needed confidence.
Add in keyed ignition for extra safety and a low seat height that provides a firmer foothold in the dirt when needed. And since the inspiration came from the real racers, you'll most likely appreciate the upside-down forks, too, a feature that's not met too often in the smallest bikes.
