1972 Suzuki GT750J
Registration no. AWW 197K
Frame no. 28216
Engine no. 28431

Launched at the Tokyo show in 1971, Suzuki's new GT750 flagship was, as its name suggests, more Gran Turismo than outright sports bike. First of a family of Suzuki two-stroke triples, the newcomer retained the cylinder dimensions of the existing T500 air-cooled twin, but with the added refinements of water-cooling and an electric starter. Top speed was around 115mph, but more important was the effortless cruising capability. This early drum-braked example was imported from the USA and purchased in 2019. The tank and side panels have been re-sprayed and a new petrol tap, wiring loom, ignition coils and condenser fitted. Other notable features include Higgspeed expansion chambers and sports air filters (original airbox included). Offered with a VJMC dating certificate and V5C document.
