spot on Dr Grimm... a 1977 GT750b last of the line and with the 3 allspeeds fitted will have a lovely tone.. the sound of crackle boxes on a large 2 stroke is HEAVEN!!
i should have had one of these bad boys back in the late 70's but the big 4's were the in thing.. remember the Z1 hitting the scene kitted up with 4 into 1 piper.. Wow!! what a tone.. that was it for me had to get me a big 4..
so having mist the joy of the big 2 stroke back then.. and my plans of getting a B-king as been scuppered...(inland revenue "the gits" )
so enter the GT750.. :)

I'll give it a good going over at the week end and see whats what..
it has a Boyer Bransden electronic ignition fitted and it seams to run sweet,
who knows what I'll find when i get me spanners out... Ha !! the joy of a classic... :)
It will keep you out of mischief Von ;)
You'd always expect to have to look at something on a 30 year old bike....
Have fun! - (but don't forget your C90!)
yes think that's what the Mrs had in mind.... :)Quote:

Best 2 stroke Suzuki made(After the RG500) ;)
I remember a Nicco Bakker kettle at oulton years ago. Sounded like the crazy frog being murdered!
Thanks RonnI..
i remember back in the 70's, went to a meeting a pub meet and there was two GT750's with 3 into 1 piper (crackle boxes) on... what a sound !!! never heard anything like it, they were done up with dunstall tank & seat units with the usual Heron colour scheme (Bazza Sheen) cool.
as you can see from the photo this GT750B is not all standard in more ways than just pipes.. the front end i think is off a GS1000 ?
the swing arm is square not round ?.. rear wheel is ?... but it's a drum brake.. the rest is GT750B i recon it's about 75% original
it's general condition is fair.. I'll take some photos when i get time and some of you may help me identify what the donor bikes was ?
Ho the ride to my mates garage was interesting to say the least,
it gos well but shit at stopping :)
