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?

 

SUZUKI DR-Z70

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 . . .
