[@Don-lw4cb]

Your GT 750 is a beauty, I think we were very lucky in the 70's and 80's because there was some very beautiful motorbikes produced.

[@terrysmith7076]

I just bought a 750 Kettle I'm doing some work on it now can't wait for spring.

[@SBKPete]

I’ve watched this video a few times now and I still enjoy it 👍🏻 Two stunning Kettles 👏🏻 There’s also something quite satisfying, having analog needles sweeping up and down the two clocks 😉

[@mcmechanic864]

Glad you enjoyed it, I will be doing more videos as soon as we get some decent weather 🙂

[@bwkennard1]

I always wanted one of the GT750s. I had a GT550 my friend had the GT380. running synthetic injection oil made a hugh deferents on ring and piston life.

Hiya, really nice Kettle's well done 👍 02/23 and just gathering the parts of my 750J, stripped it 12 years ago then became ill 😷 so great encouragement to finally get on with it. Berkshire so not too far from railway museum 😁 will see how it goes 👍

[@ianmosdell]

These bikes look so much nicer than modern bikes

[@paulsmyth497]

Cracking vid mate. Rode my mates kettle in 1978, and really, being a “Suck, squeeze, bang, blow” merchant, especially for the 70’s and 80’s Japanese bikes, I have to say, NOTHING sounds like a kettle. I’m a bit the same with the KH triples too. You know them from 3 streets away, blindfold. I’ve got a collection of 4 strokes of the period, but I WILL have a kettle when I get chance. Nice one.

[@mcmechanic864]

Thank you 🙏

[@fw1421]

In the US a GT750 is a very rare bike. I haven’t seen on since the 80’s. Great bikes,,I’d love to own one. Love 2 strokes.

[@anonimous2451]

Ditto. I had the 500 cc version and wasn't water cooled but quickness was its forte.

[@westboundbadger]

Where you stopped at those lights in Aylesbury if you had hung a right past the pub there is a fairly new road which takes you straight to the Bicester road but on the outskirts of the town,...Always quiet and a nice 50 mph stretch !

[@mcmechanic864]

Oh ok, thanks for that 👍 ill definitely do that next time 🙂

[@JR-ii5ld]

Really miss my 75 GT 750 water buffalo. Like a little help though. She was factory yellow with triple discs and I can't find a replica of her anywhere. Northern California 1979. JR

[@therealdilldylanwebb118]

Great commentary 🙌

[@rodlara7410]

Yesir i love 2t i have suzuki ax100

[@KensGarage1]

Beautiful kettles you guys have there. Yeah, in the video it appears they are identical color. At least the fuel tank. There's a lot of nice vintage two strokes there. Great to see. I enjoyed the video. I'm curious if there is a brief explanation for how you do the voiceover on the video? I need to learn to do that.

[@mcmechanic864]

I use iMovie (Apple)to do my editing and you can do it within the software of iMovie 🙂

[@patrickhostler5939]

Great film. Can I ask what fuel you are running her on?

[@mcmechanic864]

Just super unleaded 5% ethanol 🙂

[@IanM18]

Greetings from a fellow VJMC member (Kent). Absolutely stunning display. I can't wait for the warmer drier weather to get out on my '75 GL1000 or CB500T for a few rideouts. Just one question....Do you find that after standing in the VJMC gazebo for a while on a sunny day, when you step outside every colour looks really wierd? Cheers. Ian.

[@mcmechanic864]

Yes I know what you mean, that bright orange messes with your eyes lol. Yeah I’m also looking forward to the warmer weather…roll on spring 🌞

[@chrisbarnes9260]

So where did you put your winners trophy?

[@mcmechanic864]

😂 didn't get one...but if I'd have stayed to the end 🤷

[@SteveSJDR]

Is that a YDS3 Yamaha at the beginning?

[@mcmechanic864]

I don’t remember seeing a YDS3 at Quainton 🤔…do you mean the RD200?

[@SteveSJDR]

@@mcmechanic864 Sorry, I thought the Yamaha at the beginning was a YDS7, not a YDS3.

[@macoto1114]

👍〜👍

[@TroyaE117]

Don't get caught in the rain !

[@TroyaE117]

When you shut the throttle on the over-run, does yours surge a bit, or a lot? Did you attempt to cure it?

[@TroyaE117]

Mine surges a bit on the over-run but it runs so well otherwise I am loathe to mess with the carb' settings. There was a Suzuki bulletin (GT 36) to help minimise it, but it involved drilling and tapping an otherwise pristine carb set.

[@TroyaE117]

I notice they forgot to tell us to take the old jet out first !!!

[@barryrothwelltaylor6812]

If you think " not too fast " you're not giving it enough right hand .

[@barryrothwelltaylor6812]

Had a GT750A and it was decently quick .

[@bigstickpilot]

I’d rather hear the bike than the insipid music
