The Suzuki GT550, introduced in 1971, is a celebrated classic motorcycle known for its distinctive three-cylinder, two-stroke engine. With a 531cc power unit, the GT550 delivers robust performance and a thrilling ride, offering smooth acceleration and a unique exhaust note. Its design features a sleek, vintage aesthetic with chrome detailing and a streamlined profile, reflecting the early '70s style. The bike's advanced suspension system includes telescopic front forks and dual rear shocks, enhancing stability and comfort on various terrains. Equipped with drum brakes, the GT550 provides reliable stopping power for its time. The model is also praised for its innovative engineering, including a water-cooling system and a sophisticated rotary valve. Today, the Suzuki GT550 is a sought-after classic among collectors and enthusiasts, admired for its performance, distinctive design, and historical significance in Suzuki's motorcycle lineup.

This GT550 was purchased by the current vendor over 30 years and displays 44,909 miles on the odometer. Having been laid up for a long time, the vendor decided it was time to have it returned to the road so in 2018 the necessary work was carried out to get it running again (invoice on file) which included 3 new coils and an ignition kit. Offered with the aforementioned invoice and V5C. It should be noted that the engine currently fitted is not the one listed on the V5C, however the original engine does come with this lot.
