Registration no. NVU 7P
Frame no. GT750-69261
Engine no. GT750-76113

By 1971, most motorcycle manufacturers who weren't producing a 'superbike' were well on the way to doing so, playing catch-up with Honda after the release of the CB750. Suzuki were no different to the others, and had been working on a range of triples which included a big bike flagship, the GT750. Announced in 1971, and entering the market in 1972, the GT750 fitted the bill in terms of exotic elements with multi cylinders, liquid cooling, and a five-speed gearbox. Early models had a four leading shoe front brake and were capable of effortless cruising at (for the time) relatively high speeds. Following criticism of the brakes, the GT was fitted with twin front discs the following year. The model offered is a GT750A from 1976. Purchased in August 2014 by the present owner, NVU 7P had been restored by a previous owner over a long period, and there are some receipts on file for parts, and work done. The exhaust system is an original re-chromed, and the gear indicator display works correctly. Since 2014, the present owner has covered 2,523 miles, including a trip to Brighton from the North of England without any problems. He advises us that the Suzuki runs and rides very well, and he has just fitted a new battery, but he now requires extra space in his garage. Documentation comprises a current V5C, some expired MoT certificates, and the aforementioned receipts, together with a workshop manual.
