They were known as TS, predecessor of the DR's.They did 50's, 100's, 125's 185's and 250's. There was also a larger version of the trailie called the SP370.
I think
Nope - TS were 2 strokes, this is a 4 I believe.I think
As the past owner of a TS50ER and a TS125ER and having worked with a guy who had a TS250ER I can confirm that all the TS's were 2 strokes. The 4 stroke was a DR In my humble oppinion, both in the brochure at the same time.

It certainly looks like an early DR - but it's not quite right. Exhaust exits on the wrong side for starters.
Googling like mad to try and get a match!!!

Ah well, you learn something every day.

Hmmm.. I'm pretty sure it's an Suzuki SP400 (or SP370). I think the tank's been changed, but the rest looks about right (tubular swing arm etc.etc.)
Thanks chaps
Sent a link of this thread to someone who knows, he's 98% sure its an SP370 and is 100% sure it wasnt a shining light in Suzuki's trail bike history.Thanks chaps

Has anyone got a picture of an SP? I'm sure the tank was longer and thinner.
