Hats off to you, that bike looks immaculate. Looks like it just came off the showroom floor. I had a GT 550 once and it never looked as good as your GT 750. Don't ride it in the rain.
Wow, all the memories came back as you rode past. I had the GT750A new in 1976, a GT750L in 2005 I restored and a GT750M in 2012, which I stupidly sold. I want anothe now 😂 I now have a 1978 CX500, 1981 GSX750, 2008 T100 & 2012 DL650 VStrom. Another GT750 in the garage would look good. I also owed the GT380 & GT550 in the 70s. I love your channel, especially as 1970s 80s bikes and modern retros are now featured
i am from Portugal, i have all the colection of Suzuki GT, between the 125 until the 750, this 750 was the first motorbike that my father bought in Portugal, i only had a ride one time, i was scared with that engine, now a days we still have them all models
@@Drobium77 well owned my dads 380 and rides with a group of kettles. And a support van rided behind me and like more the sound of the 380. The sound pitch is higher and than the 750. But i do also like when a waterbuffelo ride in front of me
You either get 2 strokes or you dont. It is delicious and I hope I win it, though unlikely as I never win anything. The GT750 was usually described as softly tuned and capable as a 'tourer' 🤔 Always loved them, the colour really suits this one in the video 👍
A family member had one of these after owning a Triumph T160. The Suzuki used less fuel and oil than the badly built Triumph. And it was MUCH more reliable
I lusted after owning one back in 74 at the age of 16 but never got to own one. My kid brother bought one in 86 and he let me ride around the block. Wow what a bike, smooth and very quiet for a two stroke, and that crackle and pop was so distinctive of Suzuki's from the early 70's. It felt heavy, but once under way it felt manageable, that was until I tried to lift onto its centre stand. The grab rail was set too far back, and the foot lever on the stand was too short. You needed alot of muscle to lift it, and me being a 9 stone weakling, I just could not lift it. I bought a GT550 which I had no problem with, but it was a lot lighter than the 750. Great times, I also lusted after a Kawasaki 900 Z1 which was my all time favourite back then, closely followed the the GT750 Suzuki.
When you look at the bike it looks like they put a lot of quality build in the bike. It's lovely. I remember them back then. A green one came up to me at a light. I stared at it in amazement. Japanese manufacturing at its best. I love these old bikes.
I had one of these in the late 90's. First bike i had with discs, I remember thinking that the gear position indicate was a gimmick, but it was so smooth you actually needed it. I was never able to get the oiling quite even but it didn't seem to matter. Rode it for a while but the handling annoyed me, it handled reasonably well 2 up but was never right one up. I was used to older British bikes and on a twisty road they would run rings round it, of course they wouldn't stop so you had no choice .😀
We must be about the same age and stuff like that friend. In 1977 when I was 17 I owned a bright Red Suzuki GT750 it had a full race Mead Speed fairing with a single seat and a fancy dynamic tail on it and it had a set of chrome drop down bars that went round the three clocks. It was the pride of Perth in Scotland in them day’s Happy Happy days.
Worked as a mechanic at a Suzuki shop in Santa Maria California when they first came out. My favorite of all the Suzuki triples is the 380 triple so smooth and just right size and power. The GT 750 would stand up against the Honda 750 four very well. But two strokes were killed by government legislation.
A great motorcycle 40 years ago I bought a GS 1000 ,,at 18 years old and loved it,, now I'd like a GT to have with my two other SUZUKI s that is an awesome colour,,
Had one for a few years in the 1980's...the only thing that used to annoy me with it was in the wet the gear change indicator would constantly read "8"...😂😂....
That sound! Takes me back That blam, blam sound could only belong to a water bottle far more melodic than the H2 Kwaka which sounded like two skeletons wrestling inside an empty 44 gallon drum
Franchement elle est magnifique cette bécane , regardez cette finition du chrome partout de l'aluminium polie pour le moteur très peu de plastique ( caches latéraux ) un deux temps extrêmement fiable pour l'époque et pour cause le refroidissement par eau à fiabilisé tout cela , maintenant les bécanes sont farcie de plastique , de moteur noir de pots d'échappement noir des traitements de surface bien moins valorisant que cette SUZUKI et bien cette gt 750 donne vraiment envie de la rouler 👍pour ma part je roule avec une moto plus récente à découvrir car très peu connue la SUZUKI GSX 1100 G à cardan une vrai loco sur deux roues ; Merci pour la vidéo
I am sorry, but I have to disagree with most of your comments. I bought a new “L” model in New Zealand when I was at University. It was one of the most disappointing bikes I’ve ever owned. It fouled plugs, handled like a “pig”, drank fuel like a drunken sailor and was far too heavy. It was also very underpowered. I liked it only because, after Kawasaki triples it was easier to manage, and was more suitable for touring.
It looks pretty, but I still can't understand why people love 2 strokes especially the GT750, it uses way too much fuel and really doesn't go anywhere near as well as a GS750 4 stroke of the day which was a way better bike and is really undervalued in todays market.

I’ve owned my 76 for 29 years, still makes me smile after a ride out
Well done sir, I’m extremely envious 😂👍
That's awesome. They were unique and enjoyable indeed. Would like to have one now.
The 70's were a golden time for motorcycling. I had this bikes little brother, the GT 250 m Ram Air.

What a pretty restauration! Even the giant turning lights match nicely with the orange color :)
Congrats to the builder and owner.
One of my favourite bikes of all time ,is the GT380 , so I can only imagine how bloody great it'd be to own a 750 .....love it!!
Always liked the 380 !
looked the same anyway

Beautiful machine! I miss the days when two strokes running expansion Chambers were king of the road here in the states.

Very nice. From an era when the 4 Japanese bike manufacturers were very innovative.

Rode a nice ‘74 GT550 for 5 years or so, loved it. Smooth and quick…
Yes they were & we can all just breath the air now, not also see it, as was the case back when....
What do you like of the 380 over the 550?
Backlight was the same across every bike, i had an 50 CC moped with that exact backlight :-D
True

Everybody wants a water buffalo.
