The smell, the sound and design, gives a great nostalgic feeling, lovely job, suzuki was ahead of it's time in 1976 to 1984.

The GT250. You say the A model. This looks like a very nice late M version (the ram air cover and side panel flashes are the giveaways). Nice collection !!!!! I finally got a GT750L late last year. Only wanted one for 46 years after three GT250's ( 1 x M, 2 x C) 😮

I agree that the 250 is a m model although the tank colour scheme is for the L model

I first started riding motorbikes in 1974, 13 years old. Road trail, trials and motocross bikes, Honda MT250, Suzuki TS185, Honda Elsinore CR125, Yamaha RT360 and finally a Yamaha TY250 Trials bike. Favourite was the Yamaha TY250 as I loved trials riding the absolute most. When I bought my first road bike at 19 I bought a Suzuki GT 250 X7 2-stroke, followed by a Honda CBX550F and finished off with a Honda CBX750F before I retired from riding motorbikes when I got married and had kids.

Brings back so many memory's of my old Gt250 's i had a few! and with home made expansions, had a Gt185 also, pointless with electric start, ! but from memory i had a 380 for a month or so, and remember electric start on that ? or am i confused with the 550 , that i never had, all my Suzuki's were in the same blue, and weirdly my Honda Gold wing Gl1000 was the same ish colour
@Johnwenn14 ай бұрын
I think you are getting mixed up, the 380 had no electric start but the 550 and 750 kettle did. I had all of them all apart from the 250 and 125. Wish I still had them now.
