Suzuki introduced their middle sized triple, the GT550, also known as the Indy in the States, during 1972 shortly after the introduction of the GT380. The two machines were visually similar although they differed considerably in detail. Of the three triples to emerge from the Hamamatsu, the GT550 was arguably the most sporting in temperament offering a claimed top speed of 115 mph and 50 bhp in comparison to the GT380's near 100 mph top speed and 38 bhp.
