Débuting in prototype guise at the October, 1970, Tokyo Motor Show, the Suzuki GT750 entered production some eleven months later. Revered as the first Japanese motorcycle to feature a water-cooled engine—a two-stroke, three-cylinder 739cc unit—the newcomer proved an accomplished sports tourer. Capable of 110mph despite its not insubstantial 480lb. dry weight, the Suzuki endeared itself to riders worldwide. Affectionately nicknamed the ‘Kettle,’ the GT750 evolved through ‘J’, ‘K’, ‘L’, ‘M’, ‘A’ and ‘B’ guises, and was notably counted as one of the 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology by the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan.
A British-market machine from new, this 1974 GT750L presents in beautiful order throughout, having recently emerged from a comprehensive restoration. Prior to that, it had been languishing unused since 1988 and, even after the restoration, it has not returned to the road, so it is eagerly awaiting a new owner who will fire it up and head out to a big motorcycle meeting. Nevertheless, it has been running recently, so it should only require the most rudimentary checks before going into the road. It is supplied with the current V5C.
