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 Coll|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.
