Thanks for your kind comments, I know what you mean! Look at my other Suzuki’s in my channel, one I took yesterday th-cam.com/video/stqyil134P8/w-d-xo.html
This is an incredibly rare 1977 SUZUKI GT250C one of the last of this model prior to the SUZUKI X7 250. It has had a lot of work over the years and even has micron exhausts which have been welded to the downpipes and re-chromed for that flush finish, rather than having a joint. It has a restored engine by specialists and runs like a Swiss watch!
reminds me of my RD 250 DX, it had microns, flat slide crabs & pod filters, and sounded just like that, I could never get over how easily it started, half a press on the kickstart and it would fire up,
Sounds awesome ,I had many gt,s back in the day .A nice touch welding the headers to the microns ,mine used to leak oil at that original joint . Lovely
Yes these are absolutely awesome bikes especially with modified exhaust systems, they sound just great. I’ve since sold this now but I do have a GT550 with incredible pipes on and sounds awesome! I have published a video in my channel
my first big bike. i loved it. i took it to the local petrol station to jet wash it, happilly washing it when i noticed the speed stripes floating down the grid ^^ not laquerd xd
I'm an RD guy for 2t street motorcycles, but god damn that Suzuki GT is gorgeous.... I don't even like blue, no bikes, no cars, but I still wouldn't change it, not one thing on that beautiful bike (even though I'd probably take those gorgeous, but small Microns off, and get some custom stainless expansions welded up, saving the Microns though 😅)
Why did Suzuki fit a 150 MPH Speedometer to this bike. Even a GT750 couldn't reach 150 MPH. Love the bike, just wondering if that speedo was factory fitted or was it retro fitted.
You can tell this is a late model because it doesn't have the Ram Air cowl the Suzuki twins and triples (except the GT750) had for years. The cowl was always of dubious use anyway.
The GT250 always performed better if the larger bore carbs, from the T250 Hustler / T305 Raider were fitted. The T305 Raider is the T250 Hustler bored out to take T350 Rebel pistons. The same can be done to the GT250 as well.
The T305 had a bore of 60mm and was introduced in the US in 1968. The T350, introduced in the US in 1969, had a 61mm bore and a displacement of 315CCs. The cylinders are interchangeable across all three of the 1968 and later 250/305/350 with oil injection to outer crankshaft bearings and cylinders. The '66-'69 T/TC20 cylinders will not interchange with these later engines.
Hello.I enjoy your video from Japan :) I want a same muffler you've attached, but it's not sold in japan now. I really appreciate if you introduce me the sales route. I really want it and looking for a long time. I'm so glad if you tell me where you buy and how much it was.
I owned one early 80s BAL 441T purchased from Twistgrip Motorcycles Nottm , Microns,K@N Air filters 105 main jets I think . Used to polish exhaust ports every W/E lol .Quick piece of machinery back in the day 🤣

Allspeeds were better made imo, Micron's had the ugly centre seam construction similar to original Suzuki exhausts, Allspeeds were manufactured like the Yamaha style pipes with no centre seam if that makes sense :)
I have Allspeeds for my GT185, and I think they are a little wider at the end of the pipe. I think these will be Microns, but I know what you mean, as they don't have a typical 'endcan' like other Microns, and are flush instead like all (?) Allspeeds.
I always though allspeeds wer alot wider where they went into the silencer and microns were like a race pipe and narrow before silencer. Could be wrong though lol
@@TheDavepick2003 Yes that's right, but Micron made them like this as well, but the end section where the baffle tube is, looks longer and thinner on these Microns than it does on my Allspeeds.
Always wanted one beautiful it has made me feel alive at 67 😊

Sound of the 70s and, 80s
brings a tear to my eye.
The 2 strokes are awesome
I've got a 1979 RD 400. White/Red.

Great bikes

You’re right, they always leaked oil at the joint
My first bike was a GT250A... takes me right back
I was in my teen's in the 70's what great bike's we had.... I know bike's now are so advanced but their so much alike...
Yes these are absolutely awesome bikes especially with modified exhaust systems, they sound just great. I’ve since sold this now but I do have a GT550 with incredible pipes on and sounds awesome! I have published a video in my channel
Wow, the paint with designs is wow, and the seat looks perfect, the modern tires with expansion chambers makes a good visual combo. Enjoy it
Thanks buddy
What a beautiful bike, I had the same in the gold metallic, i miss 70s bikes. But they are around in will be on one again. 😉
Absolutely love this , beautiful and stunning.
Thank you for sharing .
Glad you enjoy bikes that I love!
Now that takes me back, good old days.
Ohhh that cackle ,, reminds me of my gt185 with 2 into one micron , awesome thanks buddy
Great sounds eh!
my first big bike. i loved it. i took it to the local petrol station to jet wash it, happilly washing it when i noticed the speed stripes floating down the grid ^^ not laquerd xd
That’s a shame, they should always be lacquered in, I usually check this when buying a bike
That’s very special!!
Thank you for sharing

Jesus that is beautiful

OMG that bike is stunning.

Hungry for a thrashing lol..lovely bike.
Thanks for watching my video
Wowwe like new💪💪💪👍👍👍
I've got a 250 GT B and have just had a total engine rebuild and its on standard exhausts, it doesn't look as good as yours though.
Great video looks absolutely mint 👌
Thank you very much 👍
Beautiful ❤️👍
DEARRRRRRRRR SANTA
I know what you mean!
Bloody Lovely! :)
Thanks
Very clean bike.
Thanks
Don't see many old strokers these days commonplace in 80s x7s rd250/350s etc and khs.
Gorgeous!
Thanks
Put expansions on my GT back in the day . Took them off pretty quick . Noisy as fk and didnt go any faster . Great bike though . And reliable .
I agree, but they sound awesome!
I did the same. Earlier one with the ram air. miss that bike. Happy days
snap crackle and pop lovely
Ah yes, that two-stroke sound that was so familiar in the 1970s but so rarely heard now.
Why did Suzuki fit a 150 MPH Speedometer to this bike. Even a GT750 couldn't reach 150 MPH. Love the bike, just wondering if that speedo was factory fitted or was it retro fitted.
I think it was standard, but I’m not 100% sure. Thanks for watching my video. Rob

That’s right
would have loved to have bought it
Hi Ian, it’s still for sale! See here, £7K www.lowbourne-classic-vehicles.co.uk/listing/1977-suzuki-gt250c-awesome-2
My X7 is sitting in my garage while I need to get a hole in fuel tank fixed . I need to sort my shit out ad it's been there over a year!
I agree, get it sorted then enjoy!
Nice.
Great job👍Is this an original Giuliari seat ? 🤔
Hi, yes it is and thanks for watching my video
@@robertmenghini.Lambomad Nice ! I also have this Giuliari seat on my GT 250 !
Hello , I love the sound, where can I find the same exhaust?
Try ebay?
nothing on ebay:/
The GT250 always performed better if the larger bore carbs, from the T250 Hustler / T305 Raider were fitted.
The T305 Raider is the T250 Hustler bored out to take T350 Rebel pistons. The same can be done to the GT250 as well.
Thanks for the info mate.

last of the c model was white and 1979
You know the models well, thanks for watching the video
Hello.I enjoy your video from Japan :)
I want a same muffler you've attached, but it's not sold in japan now.
I really appreciate if you introduce me the sales route.
I really want it and looking for a long time. I'm so glad if you tell me where you buy and how much it was.
Hi, I have sold the bike now, they are called Micron exhausts
@@robertmenghini.Lambomad Thank you for your kindness and quick reply.
👍
Where can i buy this exhaust?
What’s brand name of this pipe?
Microns
The stock GT250 C was actually faster than the stock X7 (98 MPH versus the X7's 95 MPH).
I think you’re right as I’ve owned many 250s and this is quick!
@@robertmenghini.Lambomad I Don't think so mister
X7 was the first stock two stroke 250cc to clock 100mph
Great bikes the X7
I owned one early 80s BAL 441T purchased from Twistgrip Motorcycles Nottm , Microns,K@N Air filters 105 main jets I think . Used to polish exhaust ports every W/E lol .Quick piece of machinery back in the day 🤣

And there is a Fiat 128 coupe in the background

I can smell it! 👃🏻💋
2/4 seat
Those skinny wheels! Some 125s have wider wheels than that now!
I agree
They look more like allspeeds

@@58lp79 yes but the shape look wrong for a micron as they were made to look more like a race pipe
