The '''Suzuki SP370''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] from 1978 to 1979. The '''Suzuki SP370''' was the first [[Suzuki]] [[motorcycle]] with a single cylinder four-stroke engine, if you don't count the short-lived [[Suzuki Colleda|Colleda CO and COX models]] from the fifties. Unfortunately it had a bit too weak engine and it was a bit too expensive to become a great success. [[Yamaha]], for example, could offer the [[Yamaha XT500|XT500 trail bike]] for the same money as you had to pay for the SP370. It was made in the US from 1978-1979. Suzuki produced an enduro oriented variant in the [[Suzuki DR370]]. It could reach a top speed of 80 mph (129 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 20.65 ft/lbs (28.0 Nm) @ 4000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 26.42 HP (19.7 KW) @ 7500 RPM. | |||
==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[air cooled]] single cylinder, four-stroke. A 85.0mm [[bore]] x 65.2mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 370.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead cams (ohc). | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-plate. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 3.00-21 front [[tire]] and a 4.00-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via expanding brake in the front and a expanding brake in the rear. The front suspension was a Telescopic fork while the rear was equipped with a Full floater, swingarm. The SP370 was fitted with a 2.25 Gallon (8.50 Liters) fuel tank. The wheelbase was 55.91 inches (1420 mm) long. | |||
