1975 Suzuki GT750

In Japan, Standard by AbhiLeave a Comment

The Suzuki GT750, affectionately known as the Water Buffalo, was the bike that made Suzuki a household name in the United States.  The follow-up to a sporty bike, Suzuki surprised (and disappointed) motorcycle magazines by instead marketing this as a sports-tourer.  Don’t tell anyone – Suzuki actually changed the intent of this bike because they were having reliability issues with the bigger engine at high rpm’s.  Still, the GT750 introduced the world to a few firsts in motorcycling, including the first usage of double disc brakes on a bike, as well as the first two stroke to collect residual gas.  In addition to that, it was the the first modern motorcycle to feature liquid cooling. This example (VIN: GT75055433) is possibly the nicest I’ve ever seen for sale. It has 8,400 miles and is basically unrestored – the seller estimates that it’s 90% original, and the remaining 10% is still OEM Suzuki (except for the ignition). This is definitely a rare color for the Water Buffalo, though I still haven’t decided if I like it or not. Still, this is an excellent example of the breed, and interest will be high in this cult classic.
