[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 134028, member: 18302"] Never rode one, but the RM370 was well received by the magazines back in '76. I think the forks got changed in '77 or '78. Suzuki sold a lot of them and they were pretty successful on the track. In '76, Dirt Bike did a big open class shoot-out with the YZ, RM, CZ, Maico, Husky, KTM and Bultaco. I believe the Suzuki won it or came in second despite being much cheaper than the euro bikes. At the time, there were still a lot of euro die-hards in the open class, and the 370 was Suzuki's first decent open class bike (the TM400 Cyclone was foul). The RM370 had a reputation as a decent all around bike; better than average in just about every category so it was a very effective machine. Lots of them were put to use on the trails after their moto days were done. At the time, the factory was racing full on 'works' bikes, so Roger's bikes were a lot different than what Joe Average got from his Suzuki dealer. But the RM line was clearly derived from earlier works bikes. Steve Stackable raced the open class for American Suzuki and did pretty well, but I don't think he got a championship. I once saw a good web page devoted to the early RM's. You should search on Google.com or check through some of the motolinks pages on DRN. [/QUOTE]
