The Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4 wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 60s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured. In the early 1970s the GT380, GT550 and GT750 three-cylinder range was launched proving to be 'the last hurrah' for the large capacity two-stroke engine.

This Suzuki GT550 was restored a few years ago to a good standard. It has formed part of a large private collection of Japanese machines. An older restoration is holding up well, with some signs of use. Last run earlier this year, it requires light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C, many receipts and other documentation.
