"Colleda" means "this is it!" or "this is the one!" in Japanese.

The Japanese government decided that no driver's license were needed to ride a bike with an 4-stroke engine up to 90cc or a 2-stroke engine up to 60cc. Therefore Suzuki's choice of engines for its first models in 1954 - the Diamond Free motorized bicycle with 58cc 2-stroke engine with 2 hp and the 90cc four-stroke with 4 hp.

The Colleda CO had a steel frame, telescopic front fork, shock absorbers on the rear wheel and coil spring-suspensioned seat. It had no turning lights but it did have a headlight and a rear light.

It was the first Japanese motorcycle provided with a speedometer, built in the headlight.

The built-in gearbox had three speeds.
