The Suzuki GT 380 is a motorcycle from the Japanese manufacturer Suzuki .

The Suzuki GT 380 was built as a motorcycle with an air-cooled 3-cylinder two-stroke engine between 1972 and 1978 and was designed as a touring athlete for long distances, unlike the 3-cylinder models of the competitor Kawasaki . Due to the 3 to 4 exhaust system and the footrests, the incline of the GT 380 was limited.

A special feature of the GT 380 and its sister models from the GT series was the RAM-Air system , which consisted of an additional heat sink above the cylinder head. The air flow under the RAM-Air was additionally accelerated by the conical shape, which led to higher cooling performance and less air turbulence. The cooling was very effective and allowed a higher output of the series engine.
