Suzuki GT Series (1968 to 1984)

The Suzuki GT Series marked a pivotal moment for Suzuki, introducing a family of two-stroke grand touring motorcycles in the early 1970s as a more refined successor to the T-series twins, particularly the T500 Titan. Produced from 1971 through 1977 as a single evolving generation rather than distinct redesigns, the GT lineup, spanning the GT250, GT380, GT550, and the flagship GT750. Engines were transverse inline triples ranging from 247cc to 738cc, with the GT750 producing around 67 hp, delivering smooth, torque-rich powerbands unusual for two-strokes. Power went to the rear wheel via chain drive, paired with 5 or 6 speed manual transmissions.
