Here's what I'm finding for the years they made the SP:
1982.....SuperSport (SR triple crank,SunTour Cyclone) and SuperSport SP (Sugino AT triple,SunTour Cyclone Mk II). The SP was "new for '82" according to catalog. (SS-$550, SP-$650). Both models used Araya alloy box 700C rims on Sanshin LF hubs.
Not sure how long they kept making the SP after '83.
in 83 I believe that they had a voyageur SP. The Standard supersport had a cheesy rim and the SP had the box rim. I just purchased a Regular 82 supersport and am picking up on Thursday. Im buying it to part it out. its a 27 inch frame in perfect shape. Going to sell the frame and parts separately.
