I Remember when I raced a Suzuki GT750 back in 75 with my Z1 900 , he had a huge jump on me out of the hole ,but I eventually ran him down at 120 mph. Back in my day the H2750 AND the GT750 were two of the most wickedest bikes to ride .Kaplan America ,you are the man . Always bring the good stuff back for a visit.
What Ken Kaplan does is awesome. Keeping the motorcycle community together, thriving and able to put their talents to good use in a profitable manner is what this world needs more of. U feel the passion for two strokes and all things two wheels in his voice.
Wow such a wicked sounding beast "if that doesn't get your heart racing you might be dead!" Justin is brimming with enthusiasm and knows his stuff also a good presenter for the channel I'm liking him alot.
Justin is an awesome guy. I hope he'll be there when I come up to meet everybody. Gorgeous bike be has, and that exhaust note is heavenly. Love the sound of his DelKevic Pipes. They must cost a pretty penny, if they can even still be found.
had a 73 back when I was 18, one of the coolest bikes I have ever owned. Put a set of chrome "Whispering Smith" chambers on it. Wish I had it in my stable today
It's unbelievable how many bikes you've shown that I never knew even existed, never mind how mint all the bikes are. The absolute best motorcycle channel on the planet.
Absolutely beautiful classic 2 stroke! Im jealous of your collection at only 25 years old bud's...im even more jealous of the acess of knowledge you have being close to kaplan! Keep it up brotha 💪
That factory is fascinating. Looks like there's a house in front of it. Owner's residence originally? External video tour of the building and history would be cool
I love these. I've had a J model with Allspeed expansion chambers for 15 years. Great sound. However they're in a very mild state of tune. They normally dyno at around 50bhp, with another 5bhp or so with the pipes. If you search for a road test from back then you'll find they struggled to clock more than about 105mph, which most owners these days don't go anywhere near lol. I must contest Justin's claim that most Js have the disc brake conversion. The vast majority have the 4ls drum. Just look in the classifieds for confirmation 😉
I have owned one of those . M model . Twin Disc frontend and Handmade Chamber Exhaust . Using the Factory Headers is essential to maintain the Midrange that these were known for . The Chambers give you about 10 - 15 more at the top , without NECESSARILY being much louder than stock . Just more crackly . They GO LIKE STINK . And the Frame is not to bad . Handle quite acceptably and Stable .
Cant wait to meet you guys at Rice O Rama next weekend, i live in so vt, and just found out about the swap meet from a local cycle shop. God bless america!
I absolutely love these old screamers. A friend of mine had one just after high school back in the '80s and another friend had the 500 Kawasaki triple.
Love the GT 750! I would be fortunate to own one some day. Love this channel, that kid is great! Keep up the good work, would love to visit the museum someday!
In the curves and corners they handle like an old Mac truck. I almost got killed on one because I thought I could go through a curve faster than the bike was capable of. Then I got a GS1000E and found out how bikes are supposed to handle!!
Justin's motorcycles are absolutely ridiculous He's another one that runs an awesome TH-cam channel. Boosted another amazing motorcycle. The sound is absolutely ridiculous Justin knows his s*** Another Maniac mechanic at Kaplan cycles known as number one 💯 Great video Ken and Ronnie❤😮💯
So this bike is a bike that was offered by the factory minus the modifications? Or is this a bike that he built? Did it actually come from the factory with a three cylinder, liquid cooled two-stroke? I am amazed that it's a 1972 and it's liquid cooled. That's amazing.
No worries mate. The bike is fairly standard , besides the carb jetting and pipes. I remember when I was about 4 (mid 80s) a farmer gave us one that wasn't running too good. It sat behind our shed, getting rusty until dad gave it to someone else. I used to sit on it all the time and pretend to ride it. It's the bike that started my motorcycle fever. I'd like to get another one some day. @@ar2043
I don't mind you talking, because you don't interrupt the bike, like most other videos do with music and other stuff. Now that's been said, just give me a video with this guy riding back and forward up and down, slow and rough for twenty minutes straight. Please!

The sound reminds me of the triple snowmobiles of my childhood. There's nothing like a 2 stroke triple. They sound angry. That's a great bike!

Soo sick I'm kinda up in age but I remember these roaming the streets before I got my license, sounds AWSOME...

I just put a deposit on a k project today and ordered the delkovic pipes when I got home.What a sound 😊
Love that sound! Justin seems to be a cool asset! Good to see the young interested. 👍🏻💯

Ken. I started riding in 1973...........the days of the 2-strokes !
I had a GT550 too.
This video really kills me !
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
Delkevic pipes are wicked. Could have done with them a few decades ago. They sound so bloody good, even better on the fly by
I had 2 GT750s back in th 70s a M and B models. .Great bikes.
That is a very unique sounding bike for sure!
Super cool! Wrong Exhaust , 3 in to 1 is the way to go on this one!❤
The old ones with normal carbs . Run better than with the "vacuum" carbs. Seems the last one always runs to lean. I owned one of these last ones.
Justin sure fits in with Kaplan like he has been here for years. A rare find.
Love the GT 750! I would be fortunate to own one some day. Love this channel, that kid is great! Keep up the good work, would love to visit the museum someday!
I had a few 2 stroke triples in Snowmobiles and they absolutely ripped. That must be wild !
Thought it was a Kawasaki triple?! Not with That Sound! What a rare beautiful machine, Justinized just Right 👍 😊
Sounds goddamn excellent like top fuel when it’s idling
In the curves and corners they handle like an old Mac truck. I almost got killed on one because I thought I could go through a curve faster than the bike was capable of. Then I got a GS1000E and found out how bikes are supposed to handle!!
Cool bike and unique sound!
Loveit! Happy Fathers day Gentlemen! Love from Oz 😎❤️💪🏼👊🏼✨🇦🇺🎨
The sound of this 3/2 is awsome!!!! Unique
What a beast!
The sound of that bike is music to my ears❤❤❤ 43 bikes in 2 days you ridden. That is absolutely amazing sir
That sound is awesome
That thing would give my Triumph Street Triple a run for its money! What a sweet motorcycle.
"How long have you had it"... "Oh I've had it since I was 17".... Yes, but how long have you had it lol
Awesome bike, I love this thing sound awesome like race speeds I have goose bumps all over just listening to it idle.
Awesome thanks for showing it.
Sounded better with a standard exhaust, used to have a water bus with a sidebar, brilliant machine.
Justin loops the Polini on his first day, then misses a gear on his second day. I'm not sure he's going to work out, Kap'n.
sounds great
Delkevic pipes are they british made ? Staffordshire england
She's TEARING 🔥 the fabric of spacetime 😮
Goddamn I want that bike. Nothin better than a bad fuckin ass 2 stroke
It sounds like a motocross bike ,or three motocross bikes. Justin looks familiar for some reason. I'd imagine he'll be an asset to you're shop.that
Missing gears looping out I don't know, it's not for everybody 🤔
Yikes!😢😢😢
could someone tell me which tires Justin is running on his GT? :D
Had a 73.
Ohhhh water cooled!
Stunning machine 😮
It really is!
How are you liking the new job Justin? Lol. Probably a lot more fun than running Cad-5 cable or replacing mother-boards all day, eh? 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😂😂😂
Nice

Yeah, it's from the factory as a liquid cooled tripple 2T. Awesome bike.
Thanks man! I've never seen that particular model before!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Is this the first liquid cooled two stroke
Thats just bad ass!
Screaming hell ya
Bounce that thing off limiter..likes it revved. You can hear it
my buddy has one he got for free..he is in the middle of the rebuild on it
Not sure how this is 3 rm250 motors that was dumb. Sick ass bike

Please!
Damn!
that thing screams
Best gt750 👍👍👍
I will bring my 72 h2 over and let's line them up?
All 750J’s had drum brakes,the K was the one with discs,there was no factory option.
I'd cut the rear mudguard under the seat and shove a tail light underneath 🤟🤠
Always wear gloves guys
That mofo sounds kill
Вот это Шедевр настоящий, ракета пушка!
Sick
uh 🤣🤣
Kenne ich aus meiner Jugend hmmmoa 😂🤘🇩🇪
