Kevin this motorcycle is a credit to you.I had a 380 in 79 and loved it.Wish I still had it now.Would love to buy it but cannot.All the best with your sale.Regards, Steve.
The two-stroke Japanese road bikes of the 70s were absolutely wonderful. I had a Yamaha RD350, which I loved like a girlfriend. God, I wish I kept it. I'd do just about anything to get one from this era today. Very hard to find. Not hard to understand why.
I have always loved the Suzuki triples from the 70's and this one looks immaculate. I bought an old wreck from a dealer in 1983 for £100. OK, it was a bit tatty, but had two good tyres on it, and it still ran. I set about re-painting it, put a new seat cover on and gave it a general tidy up. I had it looking pretty decent. It needed new head gaskets, and new centre stand, because the foot lever had broken off. Oh, and these old bikes s often had plastic lens covers on the speedo and tacho, and they tend to fog up with time. I overcame this problem by gently with a soft cloth putting T-Cut on them, rubbing in a gentle circular motion, then applying liquid wax, between applications and buffing them up. Eventually, this removes the surface misting and leaves them looking almost as good as new.
never mind your biker gear boy..... who makes the rules for riding a horse... get yourself more to complain about than what you currently are... you have to have a love for biking... it does not come in a jacket, boots or helmet... its a passion... a crazz.... a love ❤️💯❤️💯❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏....
Richard, was that in US? We in U.K. didn’t get that colour / color. I love the chrome all over and green tank & side panels look. I own a U.K. 550B in Maui blue.
I had a black one of these. I had also changed the front brakes to dual. Took it to Santa Pod. Entered the bring any old thing race. Full of modified GS550's that made loads of noise with their go faster add on crap. I was the fastest 550 on the day. I had my choke on at the start, because the queue was so long. I did 93 mph in 14.3 seconds. That is crap today, but most vehicles of the day would even find the motorway speed limit a bit of a challenge.
Yep, I loved mine as well ORO 604P Until the spring broke on the side stand, leaning in for a left bend it dropped, dug into the tarmac and flipped me into a hedge. The bike hit a wall and was written off with a twisted fork & frames. I broke my back here but was lucky enough to make a full recovery from this one. Eighteen months later I wasn't so lucky.
Beautiful bike. I had a green one. It would be more authentic with a yellow number plate. No one would ever have had an old fashioned black and silver plate on one.
Yes we also had electric lights and television also disc brakes first honda cb750 had discbrakes honestly just after flint axe was obselete pnuematic tyres hadn't long come in
That GT550 is in beautiful condition you really have made it immaculate.
Very beautiful and powerful.i love and respect legend suzuki..

Looks just like my orange "73 GT-380. Rode it LA to Denver over the Rockies when I turned 18.

My first new vehicle. '74 GT 550 Red.

I had a 1977 550
Love suzuki 3 cylinders better than kawii 3cylinders not as fast nearly bought a kawi 500 mac 1 had to rev the nuts of it to keep it in the power band
What's this? Basically a GT380 2 stroke engine. Why there is name of 550. I had this bike.
Look nice , US dollars please.
Did it really come with disk brakes? I thought those two strokes had drum brakes.
They did in 1974 and beyond.
Yes we also had electric lights and television also disc brakes first honda cb750 had discbrakes honestly just after flint axe was obselete pnuematic tyres hadn't long come in
