I first started riding motorbikes in 1974, 13 years old. Road trail, trials and motocross bikes, Honda MT250, Suzuki TS185, Honda Elsinore CR125, Yamaha RT360 and finally a Yamaha TY250 Trials bike. Favourite was the Yamaha TY250 as I loved trials riding the absolute most. When I bought my first road bike at 19 I bought a Suzuki GT 250 X7 2-stroke, followed by a Honda CBX550F and finished off with a Honda CBX750F before I retired from riding motorbikes when I got married and had kids.
The GT250. You say the A model. This looks like a very nice late M version (the ram air cover and side panel flashes are the giveaways). Nice collection !!!!! I finally got a GT750L late last year. Only wanted one for 46 years after three GT250's ( 1 x M, 2 x C) 😮
Great collection,, especially with the expansion pipes,, brilliant,, Suzuki being my choice to,, awesome watching and listening to 😊😊😊☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️👍 from northern Ireland
Brings back so many memory's of my old Gt250 's i had a few! and with home made expansions, had a Gt185 also, pointless with electric start, ! but from memory i had a 380 for a month or so, and remember electric start on that ? or am i confused with the 550 , that i never had, all my Suzuki's were in the same blue, and weirdly my Honda Gold wing Gl1000 was the same ish colour
I think you are getting mixed up, the 380 had no electric start but the 550 and 750 kettle did. I had all of them all apart from the 250 and 125. Wish I still had them now.
Absolutely gorgeous, love the smell of the two stroke engines with the autolube system , totally reminds me of my teenage years, I had a 750gt Suzuki in 1976, boy could it shift.
@robertmenghini.lowbournecl8531 I had a blue GT 185 in 1977 great and reliable. at the moment I have a Triumph speed triple r 1050 /2018 but I do miss having the 2 Stroke.
beautiful bikes! my fav being the 380. i do not like the exhaust system on the 380 though. the stock exhaust is a much more awesome sound of a two stroke triple. cheers
The 250 is a gt250l not an a ..and the rev counter is from the later model ..the high beam light is blue ...on the k and l models it was red for high beam ...but still nice bike

Thanks for your memories
Absolutely fantastic. I could smell my old 380. What a memory return
Thanks for watching my video and I’m glad it bought back memories. Rob

Enjoy the Kettle, I have have two of Hammies, they’re in my channel. I think you’re right with the GT250 model. Thanks for watching my video. Rob
I agree that the 250 is a m model although the tank colour scheme is for the L model
Incredible collection for sure
Thanks
3 great bikes. I’ve had a few GT250s, a T500, GT500 and a GT750. All terrific bikes, I love the noise of the Higgspeed exhausts. 👍
Thanks
Stunning 1970 Suzuki GT models

Thanks buddy for watching my video, Suzuki’s have also always been my brand of bike!
I had a silver 380 with a 3 into 1 Piper pipe on it, oh how loud was it sounded like an RG500 racer. Your video brought back so many good memories
Fantastic machines, the GT380 is a thing of beauty!
Thanks buddy

Beautiful bikes so much smarter than most of the modern ones.
I agree 👍

They are lovely bikes, thanks for your kind comments 😊
Stunning examples beautiful sounds.
Glad you like them!

Sempre appassionato di queste bellezze motociclistiche.
Thanks buddy for watching my video, glad it bought back memories
Stupendous bikes Robert.
I have a GT185M.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked the video

Great bikes, shame about the Higgspeeds though, they let the side down a bit. Certainly not the best looking spannies available :(
Fair enough!
Lovely trio of Suzukis there Rob, the 380 does sound fab.
Thanks Lee, it’s so loud!
I had a gt 250a and a 380 nice bikes I still a boyer branden electric ignition for the 380 brand new
Stunning
Thanks Mark
😂❤absolute 2stroke heaven awesome
Thanks for watching my video
fantastic bikes never had the 380. had a RD250 instead
Thanks buddy for watching my video, glad it bought back memories
Best colour(s)!
Yes I agree
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
All nice bike's but look wrong with the silver/black number plates that were not fitted to any new vehicle's after 1973 🤔
I know what you mean
that 380 !!!!!!!
I know, it's awesome 👌
The sound of music. 😊
Thanks
Sorry but the gt 250A did not have the ram air contraption on the cylinder head
Hi, it did have the Ram Air system. I have GT 250A 1974 & a GT 125A 1974 both with RA heads 👍
@MartWilkes yes you’re right!
So I do have a question:
Where do you find all the parts?
I am in Canada and looking at restoring a 1973 GT250.
Ebay is usually what i use
@@robertmenghini.Lambomad thank you.
The 250 is a gt250l not an a ..and the rev counter is from the later model ..the high beam light is blue ...on the k and l models it was red for high beam ...but still nice bike
your missing the 185
One question: did you install bigger jets due to the Higgspeed exhaust in the 380?
It was already done when I bought the bike so I don’t know?
@@robertmenghini.Lambomad ok - thank you
I miss the days of 2T.🥱
Thanks buddy for watching my video, glad it bought back memories
