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 T250, GT250 and T350 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.

This authentically restored 350 twin appears to the one of the rare 'TT350' models, only available for a short amount of time in 1971/72. Together with the TT250, it was an interim design incorporating some of the features found on the upcoming 1972 GT250K models such as the tank and seat. A UK supplied bike, it was sold new by a dealer in Scarborough to its first owner, who kept it until 2019. The bike has been authentically restored by the vendor, including an engine rebuild with new crank seals and new pistons and rings, new tyres and battery and the frame powder coated. Many other new parts or original restored items were fitted, including the almost impossible to find silver cables and braced handlebars. Run recently, it will come supplied with a current V5C.
