I have tried to tell the model history of the Suzuki F 50 / Super Free 70 / Free 70on 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.

1970 Suzuki Super Free 70 Deluxe with chrome-plated carriers and electric starter

The Super Free 70, launched in 1970, combines the chassis of the Super Free 50 with a newly designed 70 cc engine that achieves increased power and performance. A reed valve intake system was adopted to increase power at low revs. Aside from the thickness of the frame, the chassis and electrical parts are the same as those on the Super Free 50. Like its siblings, the Super Free 70 model name was changed a while after its first appearace. The model was called Free 70 in the 1971 catalogues.

The domestic versionof the Super Free 70 was available in two versions, with or without electric starter. It was equipped with a chrome-plated rear carriers, both front and back. The Export version of the model was simply called F70 and didn't have any luggage carriers or electric starter. The color choises were Tunny Blue (???) and Permanent Red (061).
