Review
As a 17 year old I bought an M-reg Suzuki GT185,and being a huge Barry Sheene fan had no choice but to stick with Suzuki.
Got my first 'Kettle' at 19, turned out to be a pup!
Over heating, Altenator not charging,switchgear problems,all in all endless grief, SCRAPPED!!
Undeterred I bought another 2 yrs later, again charging problems,fork seals,huge thirst for fuel and chains,riding it was like trying to run pushing a wheelbarrow full of wet cement with a flat tyre,I'm suprised I didn't DIE!,so it was sold.
Twenty five years later,(time clouded my memory)I paid £2000 for a really clean 'S' plate,it lasted 4 mths before a piston broke and wrapped the con rod round the crank on the M20 at 85mph (best ride in the park!)
Perhaps I was just unlucky with the 3 I owned but NEVER AGAIN!
Still admire 'em when I see one, great looking machine,but not for me two tried to kill me and one didn't work.
Nowadays I ride a Yamaha FJ 1200,well at least Barry Sheene did ride for Yamaha at one time......

THIS BIKE RIDES AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS ALL THE SMELLS AND THE SCREAMING OF THE 70S,THE GEARBOX IS SMOOTH CHANGING,AND IT WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO YOUR YOUTH IF YOU WERE RIDEING IN THE 70S,IT STILL GETS ALL THE LOOKS.

Lovely big old gurgling 3 cylinder 2 Stroke.
Fast, comfy, utterly reliable but very thirsty.
Stylish in that glitzy 1970's Japanese way (tons of chrome & alloy to polish if you're that way inclined).
Surprisingly quick given it's size (I was riding then with people who had things like Yam 350LCs & Honda CBX 550s) and with longer GS550 shocks and stiffer fork springs & heavier fork oil it handled very well too considering......certainly not scary to ride fast at all.
Twin discs helped the braking a lot too (the other fork leg on the 550 was ready to take the caliper as was the wheel).
I did a total rebuild (at the time - early 1980's - lot of shops were closing down and selling NOS very cheap) on it & loved it to bits.
Some scumbag nicked it in the end.
Very much missed.

When I bought my 1977 Suzuki GT750 it had a mouse nest where the air cleaner element was suppose to be. Soon after evicting the tenants, and a 30 minutes of tweaking I got her started. After which I paid the guy $350.00 and rode off.

These bikes are bullet proof, very reliable thanks to good Suzuki two stroke enginering, and water-cooling. The frame was a bit elastic so caution must be given when pushing it in to corners.

This is the 3rd GT750 owned by me in the last 27 years. It was restored in 2002 at approx cost of $5000 AUST DOLLARS and is a true delight to ride. I love the low down torque, and smooth power delivery. It always draws a small crowd when out .

I am 'modernising' my Kettle to accept GSXR1000K5 forks, swing arm, wheels/tyres and brakes! It's going to be gorgeous - retaining the classic 3-4 exhaust system . Should be complete for Christmas! Need 'new' clocks, speedo , rev counter, temp gauge, warning lights .Help please.

I had mine race tuned, very fast - nothing till 8000rpm then all hell let loose. Taking slow corners in 1st gear was pretty hard work. Found that I was changing pistons every 2 weeks, but could do it in 15 mins in the end.

Mental stroker from the 70s. The T250 had normal cylinder heads; the GT250 had the Ram Air System - air is funnelled over the heads, no-one knows why. Supplied as standard with high touring bars and forward footrests, they were easily customised into mini-cafe-racers. The main competition was the Yam 250, which was better on power and handling, but the Suzi was cheaper and easier to thrash. The lower power meant that you could ride at the limit more. Which means that, if you find one, it will have been thrashed. Comprehensively. Mine needed new rings every 2500 miles, but it was worth it. Quite solid and reliable, great fun to own, and if you can still find a half-reasonable one, don't pay too much and have a lot of fun with it.
