  • Early version of Suzuki's first 'big' four-stroke

The Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WWII, but after the war, Japan required cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 1960s were second only to Honda in number of two-wheelers manufactured. Better known for their two-strokes, Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution in 1977 with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with the Japanese build quality and performance levels.

This early wire wheel single front disc GS750, being offered at 'no reserve', has been part of a private collection that is now being sold to make way for other projects. It is presented in mostly original trim, fitted with an aftermarket four-into-two exhaust system and a chrome rear carrier. Offered with a current V5C, the machine has not run for a while, so will need recommissioning before use.
