For the 1976 model year, the aging two-cylinder T500 Titan was given a new front end with a single-disc brake as well as freshened-up bodywork. It was henceforth known as the GT500. The GT500 was discontinued at the end of the 1977 model year, so had a very short production life. The GT500 was not graced with Ram Air cooling, probably because Suzuki already knew that their large-capacity two-stroke road bikes were reaching the end of their production lives. It was probably a way to get a few more sales yen from what had now become a very dated design, reaching back to the 1968 model year.

This Suzuki GT500 has had a lot of work carried out. At some stage, since owned, the machine has benefitted from light restoration, with many new parts. We have been advised it is running well at the time of consignment. It is offered with a current V5C.
