Used Buyer Review

The SP370 is one of those bikes that does exactly what it promises and nothing more. Suzuki built this thing like a tractor — the thumper engine takes abuse, starts cold without drama, and the simple frame geometry means any half-decent mechanic can sort it out. If you find one that's been maintained, it'll probably outlast you. The dual-sport setup works surprisingly well for fire roads and light trail riding, though don't kid yourself thinking it'll keep up with a proper enduro machine in serious terrain. The weak points are real though. Parts availability is genuinely painful — this isn't a GS500 where you're tripping over spares. Carb work is almost guaranteed on any used example, so budget for a rebuild. The suspension is agricultural at best, and anyone over 200 pounds will bottom it out on anything rougher than a gravel driveway. Check the frame around the headstock carefully, because these got worked hard by owners who thought they were buying a dirt bike.
