This looks like a great little bike for half-pints to learn their fundamentals and develop skills. The Suzuki DR-Z70 runs a 70cc engine with a 3 speed transmission and auto clutch.
SUZUKI DR-Z70 FEATURES
70cc engine
The 2016 Suzuki DR-Z70 is powered by a 70cc, twin-valve, four-stroke engine that is built to provide a smooth, controllable powerband.
Electric and kick start
The DR-Z70 can be started with handle-bar start button or kick started. A keyed ignition offers some parental control.
Adjustable brake and throttle
The front brake is adjustable to fit different hands sizes and a throttle limiter allows parents to adjust the throttle opening to the rider’s ability.
Styling
The DR-Z70 is styled after the RM-Z250 & 450. Ten inch front & rear tires and a Suzuki Champion Yellow paint scheme keep it real.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST BIKE?
What was your first bike? I started out on a ’79 Yamaha GT80. Here’s a pic from back in the day. I was 12 years old and rode that thing non-stop.
But – life took some odd turns. Decades went by before I got two wheels under me again. More about that another time . . .
