HIGHLIGHTS

Iconic tourer
Very low mileage
Superb condition

THE APPEAL

The famously smooth water-cooled two-stroke GT750 from Suzuki was the perfect touring bike thanks to its comfortable riding position, excellent fuel economy, and capable of a 13-second quarter mile from a standing start.

This fine example has been imported from the States and remains in its original condition, with just 11,578 miles showing on the odometer; these are thought to be original. It is being sold from a private collection which is now being downsized.
