Got a new new '22 V7 850 special. Not the same as my T3 which seemed more solid and I liked its heavier flywheel. The new one looks cluttered with lines running every ware - probably safer but not what I was trying to recapture

A family member had one of these after owning a Triumph T160. The Suzuki used less fuel and oil than the badly built Triumph. And it was MUCH more reliable

You either get 2 strokes or you dont. It is delicious and I hope I win it, though unlikely as I never win anything. The GT750 was usually described as softly tuned and capable as a 'tourer' 🤔 Always loved them, the colour really suits this one in the video 👍

Really enjoyed and learned from the video, thanks Dave. You covered the service perfectly. I am a novice to old British bikes and have recently bought my first one a Triton with a T110 triumph engine after owning and riding Japanese bikes for over 40 years which are quite different. Great video, great mechanic, love the passion which is inspirational, cheers mate 👍

Looks like your tags for bikes in England are the same size as for cars. Ours are quite a bit smaller here in the states.

It looks pretty, but I still can't understand why people love 2 strokes especially the GT750, it uses way too much fuel and really doesn't go anywhere near as well as a GS750 4 stroke of the day which was a way better bike and is really undervalued in todays market.

I had one of these in the late 90's. First bike i had with discs, I remember thinking that the gear position indicate was a gimmick, but it was so smooth you actually needed it. I was never able to get the oiling quite even but it didn't seem to matter. Rode it for a while but the handling annoyed me, it handled reasonably well 2 up but was never right one up. I was used to older British bikes and on a twisty road they would run rings round it, of course they wouldn't stop so you had no choice .😀

These are not really ROYAL ENFIELD bikes, they are simply a jiggly made bike fitted with a nameplate that was once fitted to a great British bike. Like so many UK bike manufacturers Royal Enfield (GB) went down the pan with the likes of BSA, AJS, Matchless, Norton and a host of others. The old R.E. Meteor production line was shipped out to India and ever since anything produced with a R.E. badge has been a "joke bike". People (silly souls) bought into the nostalgia of a very cheap historic brands like R.E. and A.J.S., these penny pinchers would have better spent their money on a Trabant...............Point of interest I owned a 1961 Royal Enfield Crusader bought in 1963 for £145.......................and then having passed my "test" had a Norton Dominator 99 (600cc) that was souped up with high lift cams, twin carbs, Dunstall mega's and a bucket seat and flew like s*it off a shovel

Worked as a mechanic at a Suzuki shop in Santa Maria California when they first came out. My favorite of all the Suzuki triples is the 380 triple so smooth and just right size and power. The GT 750 would stand up against the Honda 750 four very well. But two strokes were killed by government legislation.

One of the best real bike reviews , I want to like these and your review helped a lot long gone have My ton up days and after all the enjoyment of the back roads are not in the blurred zone . For 20 year I’ve hankered after a Harley but I maybe intrigued to try one of these as I want something small and light so I can mount on the back of my camper .

Nice to hear the opinion of a relative amateur and someone who is not that strong. I am in the same boat as a 72 year old, but own a Meteor, with a screen and the screen makes a difference. My Meteor is flawless and a great ride. The low seat height makes it easy to control, as it isn't that light at nearly 200kg. The Interceptor is much heavier, not for me. Thanks

I think I’ll get one when they make a larger engine. Sorry, I don’t think a 650 air cooled p-twin pushing around 500+ lbs is going to cut it on the highways here in my area. Plus a rider? Yeah 😂

My very first bike was a '66 Velocette MSS. I paid £1500 for it. It couldn't start, but dad worked on it and got it sorted. I enjoyed the bike though I _did_ have problems with it's clutch thanks to it's design. My biggest dream was to save up for a Vincent. At the time (the mid-80s) a Rapide could be bought for around £7000, and a Shadow for around £12.500. My mum told me, "if you buy another one of those old pieces of junk, you can find somewhere else to live!" I was just an apprentice at the time, soooo 🤷😞😞😞😞 I always regretted that! I was fortunate once to catch a glimpse of rither a Comet or Meteor go by with its distinctive exhaust note...

I have the same setup, With ECU and AFR mods from Powertronics. Now, I am itching to install a high raise cams and bigger Valves. But the stock frame, brakes and shocks are just not aligned with the performance.

I find the supposed benefits of very lean mixtures questionable, with the resulting hot exhaust temperatures and generally high engine temperatures (particularly in town), and it actually increases NOx - I'd consider maximising the life of the engine as more 'environmentally friendly'.
