Suzuki GT750J 1971 in turquoise

 

I'll hazard a guess at Suzuki GT750 mid-1970's

 

riccip says...

Forgot to say, it's a US spec one too.

 

Bugger, beaten by a minute and a few years.

 

riccip vaguely muttered something like ...

Kettle .. '73 ish (Suzuki GT750)

 

Higgins@work says...

Nah, it's an early model like either J or K cos of the shape of the
sidepanel. IIRC they didn't do the K in turquoise, so it has to be a J.

 

Zzzzziiiiiippp!

 

Suzuki GT750, early model.

 

Bugger me that was fast, the winner by 35 seconds just pipping
Loz. Well done! It's a 1972 Suzuki GT-750J. Here's the original

It's interesting what you look at in a bike. The sidepanel said it was a
GT750, and the ventilated drum brake said early.

 

The colour did it for me but I had no idea what would make it early or
late.

 

platypus says...

The shape and colour of the sidepanel said it was a GT750J to me. Only
the J and K had that shape, and only the J came in that colour, and only
US spec ones had side reflectors.

 

"The worlds first watercooled two stroke" - did anyone tell the Scott
company?

 

<Shakes head>

You sad, sad, sad, person.

 

The Older Gentleman says...

<proud>

 

Yeah, but everyone knows that one. You've just
got to look for the side reflectors.
