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. The gearbox was a five-speeder. A maximum power output of 67bhp was claimed and the GT750 could attain around 115mh flat out; arguably more important, though, was the big Suzuki's effortless cruising capability: its maximum power was made at a relatively low 6,500rpm while ridden gently it could deliver around 40mpg on a run. Deliveries to the UK commenced in 1972.
Modifications to the original 'J' model were not long in coming, the GT750K gaining twin front disc brakes (replacing the original double-sided drum) for 1973. "It's solid and utterly secure at the ton and comfortably relaxing in a way that only a heavyweight cruiser can be, but it's also perfectly manageable trickling along at walking pace," declared Bike magazine, testing the GT750L. Development continued through the 'M', 'A' and 'B' models before production ceased at the end of 1977.
Imported from the USA in 2022 and finished in California Burgundy, this drum-braked model is said to be all original except for the handlebars. A State of Ohio title dated 2018 is on file together with a NOVA declaration. Apart from that no previous history is known. Following a period of inactivity, the Suzuki will require recommissioning before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over).
