I have the '75 GT185M. Super easy to set timing and carb tune on this motor. Nice little powerband kicks in about 6k rpm. The two-stroke exhaust smells delicious.
Crikey this brings back sweet memories, my first bike GT185B 17 years old on one of these cherry red colour, BUP 671S, great little bike, happy days in my youth❤❤
a beaut, thanks for the video, and a question? i just restored a 1974 gt185L, and i've incorporated a tachometer of the style of yours, which is far superior to the style of the original tacho on the bike and also the speedo. i'm wondering if you know when/where the gt185 incorporated the more classy style of tacho/speedo like yours? thanks again!
The model is the GT185 EX. it ran concurrently with the GT200 X5, as a cheaper option, and was restyled to clear old inventory. A friend had one. it used the same "Flexible" forks as the GT100, GT125, GT185, GT200 X5 & GT250 X7. (The cause of the X7's notorious delayed steering issues). It uses the same wheels as the GT200 X5 & GT250 X7.
@@mollyfilms Fitting a Micron fork brace cured the X7 flexy fork issue. I couldn't afford to do this, so did the other option and replaced the front mudguard with the heavily braced one from a GT185.
@@laureanosanchez5265 At speeds over 60 MPH, there would be a noticeable delay between when the bars were turned and the front wheel responding. The delay effect increased in proportion to the speed of the bike. If riding through a succession of curves, underwear could be stained.
i had one when i was 17 years old. lovely bike.

Beautiful bike and sounds awesome
I had an M reg model back in the 1980s with a pathetic drum brake on the front. Excellent engine and proved very reliable and pretty fast.
Got one. 1973. Serial number GT185 10185. 185th GT185 built.
Awesome Video. Thanks! Amazing that we can get this kind of content for free!
Passion is our favorite currency 💲
Such a nice bike - drove this from 1982-7 ❤ but at that time no chance to make a video! 😂
I have two GT185s but never seen your version before. White and with painted front and rear mudguards.
Only made for one year and was replaced by the x5
You need to learn how to blip the throttle on you down changes . makes it so much smoother

Could you explain me/ tell me More about that handling problem?
@@laureanosanchez5265the handling problems were mainly down to the 17 year olds who rode them. I was one of them. It was a fabulous bike at aged 17.
