I used to hate these bikes when they first came out. Now I absolutely luv em.

I bought a new '74 GT750L for $1,885 out the door from Cole Brothers Suzuki in North Hollywood, CA after I got out of the service. Put about 50,000 miles on it, and added a Vetter Windjammer fairing, Bates saddlebags, custom seat, sissy bar and luggage rack. The Water Buffalo was a great bike.

I loved these Japanese bikes from the 70’s, my first bike back then was a DT125E in1978. But for me the whole of the 70’s was great.

In1978, I was riding my new KZ1000 and my buddy was on his new KZ650SR. We were on a country road and came across a GT 750 laying on it's side in a ditch. We stopped to see if anyone was hurt , but could find no evidence of an accident. We called the police and later they told us the bike was stolen and the thieves dumped it on the side of the road. Such a fine bike deserved much better! A little late on the post-sorry...

I had a Blue '74 model from brand new. Thing was fast. Kept up even or faster with everything but the Z-1 Kawasaki. Rode the Trans Canada across the continent two up with my girlfriend along. Drove alone from L.A. to Boston once in 5 days.. Ah, but that was 40+ years ago.....Wished I'd kept that bike... Would gladly trade my current Beemer for it. Thanks for the memories.

Had a new blue '74 myself - did St. Louis MO to Winnipeg Manitoba, and back - in October. I was 19 (yes there was a girl involved, lol). One hour after I rolled into Winnipeg it snowed, and returning to St. Louis, I saw on a bank time/temp sign in Watertown SD were I stopped for the night, a temperature reading of 19 degrees F. Next morning I had to bump start the bike - it had gotten so cold the starter wouldn't turn her over and I couldn't kick 'er to life, so bump it was, lol. No fairing, no windshield, - just a dumb kid having a blast. Those were the days.

yeah, I think that was a mistake it is a 77 model, though I think it should have a square styled taillight as fitted to the GS750 of the same year. classic-motorbikes.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/10675.jpg. Maybe Suzuki continued with the original taillight until they were all used.

I worked at a Suzuki Dealer through the 70s. The J model had more torque, got better mileage and is the only Japan Bike I saw run over 70,000 miles. My 76 could not hold a candle to the 72. Oh it could out run it. But that's all.

0:36 The GT750B was the last of the series being a 1977 model and even though this is clearly visible on the sign, the watermark shows '1971'. Also this should have been filmed oldest to latest to show model development.
