The Suzuki GT750 is a water-cooled three-cylinder two-stroke motorcycle made by Suzuki from 1971 to 1977. It is the first Japanese motorcycle with a liquid-cooled engine. The prototype Suzuki GT750 was shown at the 17th Tokyo Motor Show in October 1970 and launched in Japan in September 1971 as a sports tourer and was developed from the Suzuki T500 with an extra cylinder and liquid cooling. Marketed as the Le Mans in the US and Canada, it was nicknamed the "Kettle" in Britain, the "Water Bottle" in Australia, and the "Water Buffalo" in the United States. The first model year (1972), the GT750J, had a double-sided, twin-leading shoe, 200mm drum front brake with 180mm drum rear. The Exhaust Coupler Tube System (ECTS) that connected the left- and right-side exhausts together was designed to boost low-end torque. Carburettors were 32mm Mikuni slide type and the power output was 67bhp at 6,500

This 1972 Suzuki GT750 J model is in mostly original condition for its age. A US import machine that has been ‘gone-through’, it is described by the vendor as being ‘in good running order’. The Suzuki has its original exhaust system and is in good condition. It benefits from a current V5C and NOVA paperwork.
