Suzukimatic – 1983 Suzuki GS450A
When automatic transmissions were the hot new innovation in automobiles, manufacturers gave them amazing names like Powerglide, TorqueFlite, Ultramatic, and even Toyota’s Toyoglide.

While most peple think of sport bikes or naked superbikes like the Tornado or TnT, some journalists (like Michael Neeves with Motorcycle News) though the Tre-K, a street-oriented tourer that’s …
1975 Moto Guzzi 850T
Moto Guzzi’s famous designer, Lino Tonti, created the 850T (T stood for Tonti himself) out of a V7 frame and a modified V-Twin out of the Eldorado – this was MG’s attempt at putting a big engine in the famous Tonti frame – the Italian version of a muscle car.
