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 WWII 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 1970s, the GT125, GT185 and GT250 twins and the GT380, GT550 and GT750 triples proved to be 'the last hurrah' for the large capacity two-stroke engine before emission regulations brought about their demise. As a learner-legal bike in its day, the GT250 would have been many motorcyclists' first bike.

This GT250, being offered at 'no reserve', is the later B model launched in 1978 and easily recognised by its Black side panels, square back-light and Brown faced clocks. First registered in early January 1979, it has been part of an enthusiast's private collection for the last few years, not run for a while, it will need a new battery and recommissioning before use, however, the engine turns over on the kickstarter. The bike appears to have been restored at some point, keeping a good degree of originality and is fitted with CWC stainless steel wheel rims. A bike that will stir a lot of memories for riders of a certain age, it will come supplied with a current V5C.
