Launched in 1977 as Suzuki’s first really competitive enduro model, based on the highly successful RM moto-cross models developed so successfully by riders like Joel Robert.
It’s dry weight of just 109kg was class leading, and its reed-valve two stroke motor put out a punchy 30.5hp, with enough mid-range power to only require 5 speeds. The machine went as well as it looked, and was produced well into the 1980’s. A landmark model for Suzuki, raising the bar for the other big three to play catch-up, they did eventually of course, but it took a while!
