Very attractive and becoming increasingly sought after
Believed to have covered c. 5000 miles since restoration
The Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry, moving on to motorcycles after WWII. These proved an immediate success and by the early '60s the company was second only to Honda for output. Introduced in the late 1970s, the SP370 was powered by a 371cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, and with a 5-speed gearbox, it offered smooth power delivery. Built with both on and off-road capability in mind, the model benefited from high ground clearance, long-travel suspension, and dual-purpose tires. Furthermore, the lightweight frame provided excellent handling and comfort for everyday use. Though only available for a short period, its reputation for reliability and ease of maintenance has made it increasingly sought after.
XCD 235S is thought to have covered approximately 5097miles since restoration and remains in very tidy condition. Although reported to be in good running order, the usual checks are advised before use.
