I had a brand new SP370 in 1978 and SP400 in 1982, both in red. Lovely looking machines.

This was my third motorcycle. After seven years without a driver's license and two motorcycles having a Jawa 350 and Honda 125T, I bought this one for 1250 Dutch guldens. I got my driver's license on it and went on holiday to France with it. No problems ! There is a world of difference between these and later models such as the DR500 with balance axes. Anything that can vibrate loosely vibrates loosely if you don't keep it right. With driving you don't suffer so much from the vibration. Also so not so nice, if your rear light burns through, your front light also breaks and vice versa.

I rode mine off and on the trails. It was in mint shape when I traded it for a faster road bike. Being young had it's faults.

I had a brand new red 1978 SP370. I bought it at B &E Enterprise in Jay Maine. I have had many motorcycles since then. Other than my 1950 Harley pan head that 370 is the one I miss the most.

I had one of these new. Everybody that rode it crashed it. Had a lot of fun powersliding it on the road with full knobbies trying to keep up with 750 & 1000 guys. Unfortunately, it was stolen. They probably crashed it too!
