Suzuki DR-Z70
2008—

I have tried to tell the DR-Z 70 model history on this page as I know it. This page is still under construction. I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions.

2008 Suzuki year code: K8

An easy and fun choice for children to learn the fundamentals of riding. The compact 67cc SOHC single-cylinder engine is tuned to produce responsive, easy-to-control low rpm power.  The three-speed transmission has an automatic clutch for easy operation and a neutral-only starting system to prevent starting in gear. The bike has electric starter but the ignition is keyed. The 90mm drum brakes are similar to the RM60 and the bodywork, seat and fuel tank are styled similar to RM65 and RM100. The front brake lever is adjustable to fit any hand size. The bike has an throttle limiter that can be adjusted for inexperienced kids and control their progress. As for many other motocross bikes, Suzuki won't tell the effect and torque figures for the model. Please tell us if you know them! Colors: Champion Yellow, Black
