    I had the exact same model GT550 in 1990 when I was a despatch rider 😊

      Hi Mike. I had a 1986 GT model I used to use on the longer runs as a dispatcher and z400f in the city. The GT felt so smooth back then compared to the 400. Great memories. Thanks for watching.

      That’s great David. Thanks for you comments. I used to dispatch on a 1985 model G2 back in the day when London was full of GTs chasing cash. 2nd one you say? What models have you had?

      @@andrewonmyway8184 I had a 1990 model which I bought in 2001 (blue) , I think using Ethanol 10 ruined that bike,in November bought a 1995 model (red).
      I was advised strongly not to use E10 and to use E5 at a M.O.T testing station.

      @@davidknight5863 In Sweden we've had only E10 since 2021. E5 is long gone. Can't really say if I noticed any difference to be honest with you. I usually drain my carbs in the winter so nothing lingers. E15. E20 are probably around the corner then I will have to turn the bike into an indoor ornament. Ride safe,,,👍

      Thanks Guy for your comments. Got a new video coming this week with a naked GT550. Hopefully you will have the time to check it out to rekindle old memories.
