By the 1960s the Suzuki name had become known around the world due to its success in Grand Prix racing with its works bikes helping push two-stroke engine development forward. Two-stroke engines formed the basis of Suzuki’s road bike range with models like the T20 Super Six and T500 setting new standards for performance and reliability and forming the basis of the TR250 and TR500 factory race bikes. The TRs were heavily based on the contemporary road models so many people made their own replicas, very often incorporating a few tuning parts and specifications from the official racers with the T500 becoming the mainstay for privateer riders right up to Grand Prix level.
This 'barn find' classic race bike, being offered without reserve, is based on a mid-1970s GT250A model that’s unfortunately from a deceased estate, so not much is known of its history. The bike looks to have a standard frame that has been de-lugged and braced, alloy rims and a 380/550 front end with Hagon shocks at the rear. The carbs look bigger than standard and it is fitted with a Scitsu tachometer, a steering damper and a full 1960s works-style fiberglass fairing, tank and seat. An interesting project to either recommission as a race bike or form the basis of a TR250 road bike replica.
