==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[air cooled]] in-line three, two-stroke. A 54.0mm [[bore]] x 54.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 371.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a [[port]] control. | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-plate. | |||

The 1972 Suzuki GT 380 showed much promise, on paper at least. If the other Japanese manufacturers had stood still during the 70`s then the GT 380 would have made perfect sense. The GT 380 saw some minor improvements every year of its production; this was never enough to bring it to the forefront of the capacity class. | |||
== NGT380 version (384cc) == | |||
In italy the very popular GT380 underwent a transformation from 1975-1979. Due to law and also the registered name "GT380" by Ferrari, Suzuki was compelled to change the model name in the country, thus it changed to NGT380 (or New GT380). | |||
this version became a more desired version in hindsight due to the higher engine capacity (increased from 371cc to 384cc) which gave the bike more power and torque (41ps instead of 38ps) | |||
The NGT was exclusivly distributed by Italia SAIAD S.p.A. - Via Cassini 89 bis - 10129 Torino (Turin) , Italy | |||
