Registration no. UAD 678X
Frame no. GT200-508567
Engine no. GT200-109008

By the late 1970s, Suzuki's long-running GT250 and GT185 were beginning to look rather long in the tooth, and in 1979 both were replaced with new models: the 250cc X7 and 200cc X5 respectively. The newcomers featured up-to-the-minute styling and were lighter and faster than their predecessors, and both featured reed-valve induction and cast alloy wheels.

This X5 was acquired by the current vendor in October 1985 and is described by him as an 'ideal runabout'. The Suzuki displays a total of 29,019 miles on the odometer and is offered for re-commissioning following a period of inactivity (the engine does not turn over). Sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with a V5C registration document and one key.
