Suzuki's DR-Z50 separates itself from the competition in a few ways for parents looking for a bike for their 4-8 year olds. While the rest of the industry is having their 50cc machines made in China or Taiwan, Suzuki is the last option made in Japan. Additionally the DR-Z50 is unique in offering both electric start and electric start, so a dead battery won't end your day. Trouble free running with no mixing of gas make this an attractive option for parents.
