Positioned in Suzuki's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2008 Suzuki DR-Z70 relies on a 67 cc (4.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 48.0 x 37.0 mm (1.9 x 1.5 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the DR-Z70 measures 52.5 kg (116 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 560 mm (22 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 935 mm (36.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3-liter (0.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
