PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE PIC's & DESCRIPTION.
This very much sought after 1st edition tax exempt 1972 Suzuki GT750J has recently been imported from North America where it has spent all its life – the air is thin and the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours. This and the fact it's only showing 11698 miles and has been in storage for the last umpteen years have helped maintain its boyish good looks.
We have been unable to confirm this mileage reading. Please disregard it.
We all know what high prices these early kettles are fetching when done....The single most important purchase for a classic restoration project is the bike to restore, whether it's going to be a commercial venture or just a hobby interest it all starts here!.
PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES........As you can see this bike is very nearly complete missing just the battery, ignition key, tools & grab rail. It has obviously stood a while so the paintwork is faded, tyres & seat cover are perished. Sadly some of the bright chrome is pitted. Instrument case is scuffed.
BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS.........The wheels are straight with good hubs & brake plates. Forks & yokes look straight. Carburetors are free sliding off the twist grip but one of the float bowls is cracked. Paintwork is faded but solid. Exhausts are original & solid. Seat base is in good enough condition to restore. The engine turns over nicely off the kick starter – sounds/feels great & has compression – We have had the bike firing/running on easystart spray so we know it has spark + compression but the fuel system & carbs will need attention......don't fret we didn't run it long.
If you require any further information please give us a call or better still visit our showroom and have a good look over the bike for yourself – after all who are you going to believe me or your own eyes?
