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 WW2 but after the war, Japan had a need for 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 60s were second only to Honda in numbers 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. A year later the full 1000cc version was launched setting a new benchmark in the superbike division giving Suzuki inline fours a well earned reputation for reliable and unburstable engines.

The GSX750ET was the first of the 16 valve cylinder head models from Suzuki, a basic design that is still in use today. Still retaining most of its original parts except the 4 into 1 exhaust, this bike has been stored for the last 34 years so will need a thorough recommissioning but will make a very usable future classic. It comes supplied with a current V5C.
