• A 1970’s legend in the history of Suzuki motorcycles

After the Second World War Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like many others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making complete motorcycles, by the early 60s being 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. The GT750 was the first mass-produced water-cooled road bike and formed the basis of the famous 'Flexi Flyer' Formula 750 race bike.

First UK registered in October 1977, and with only five previous keepers recorded, this example has been in current family ownership since 1993. It was professionally restored to a high standard by Stockton based JMC motorcycles around 2019 with receipts indicating a crank overhaul, including seals and rods. It now presents as an excellent example of the last version of the Suzuki ‘Kettle’ GT 750. Sadly not ridden recently due to ill health, the vendor naturally advises a thorough checkover prior to use. Offered with Swansea V5C, Certificate of MOT exemption, restoration invoices, service manual and sundry paperwork, this is undoubtedly an outstanding opportunity to acquire a beautiful example of what has now become a 1970s legend in the history of Suzuki motorcycles.
