Suzuki GS 750 review and ride

[@petebedrock]

Had an 82’ 750T for several years. Gentleman's bike. Not too loud. Not too fast. Great design, beautiful looking bike. Real pleasure. Easy to work on. Sold it an moved up to a 98 triumph T Bird sport. Am now eyeballing another identical 750T. $800 is a steal for that bike. Worth close to $2000 in nice shape, which yours is in. Wind it up to 7000 and you’ll feel all the horses in there. I only got about 125 miles per tank, so mileage is not great. But it is a 40 year old bike, built when cars got 15 mpg. Enjoy. Peace.

I've had my 82 T since 1995. Almost got killed on it in 1996. Bike has had its ups and downs and been parked a couple times. Last time for the last 8 years. She's in the process of being brought back again. I'll be back on her in the summer. Looking forward to it!!

So you traded down to a Triumph? How much extra money did the Triumph seller pay you to do the trade?

[@petebedrock]

@@Ready72000 I havent traded down. The triumph is a huge upgrade over the GS. I also have 2 82’ Goldwing Twins.

[@marklugo6002]

Not too fast? Fastest bike on the road at the time.

Just bought a 83 gs750E for 700. From a cop to an engineer to me. Garaged its whole life and clean as possible woth new tires. In a week with new fluids and plugs ill be ripping around my local spots for years without any loss of that joy! Glad to see more people appreciating and riding these bikes. Keep it original man💯💯😩😩

After 2 years of owning my 82 750E, i can say it brings much joy. Mine came vance and hines pipes and sounds amazing. Love these older bikes.

I brought mine back from 7 years of sitting in a mechanic's disposable vehicles area. I asked about it and he said it's seized up. It was 3 years old when it came in as a wrecked bike. As it turned out, the wreck was caused by a bolt falling into the timing chain channel. If I had thought about it and looked into finding the last owner, I could have helped him in a lawsuit against Suzuki. It was a screamer after the complete engine teardown, clean up, and reassembly. I didn't bother to make it street legal. I cut off the exhaust past the down tubes, put on a new handlebar and mirrors, tuned the carbs to work well with the exhaust and just ran it. Never registered and never got a ticket. My landlord bought it from me for three times what I had into it, made it legal with a vin he had handy and sold it for triple what I sold it to him for. I'd have bought one new if I had been of age and into bikes at the time. Of course, I would have dumped it for the Honda CB900C as soon as I'd learned of it. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

about anyone can find something to appreciate on a late 70s up GS series.the 78 750 capured my attention as a 14 year old.generally very well rounded machines.that "suzuki feel" is a real thing.

[@marklugo6002]

The suspension is adjustable. Best bike I ever had.

[@rickiejacobs5910]

I had a 1982 Suzuki GS650GL. It had shaft drive and it had the exact same gage cluster set up. There is a 1982 750T for sale, same color but has a matching Vetter fairing for $1800 but is about 150 miles from me. I am torn between getting an old classic bike like I grew up with or a more modern bike with fuel injection. I been off motorcycles for 15 years.

[@twowheeledwarrior]

Gotta admit , I’m a fan of fuel injection . I’ve recently been reminded how stubborn a carburetor can be ! Hope your back on a bike soon ! Cheers

[@matthewjohnson4208]

One of the best bikes I have ever owned. Just rode her to work today😉

[@theoriginaljimmykicker]

I'm personally attached to mine. 27 years of ownership!

[@theoriginaljimmykicker]

Love to see some pix. Are you in Suzuki GS owners group on Facebook?

[@tutmorris3838]

I got one that came with the house I just got I gotta put repairs on it been leaning on a tree for about 30yrs but I can’t wait

[@CageFreeTom]

Just got a 1978 GS750, love your engine guards over my big monkey bars. Nice sound.

[@jerryfarmer5989]

I have the second year '78 GS750E. Yes it is a great bike to ride. After 30 years putting new tires, sprockets and chain as well as new binder pads. The bike is fast also make no mistake. Owners manual kind of funny says not rev engine over 9K when breaking in.

[@matthewjohnson4208]

My daily summer driver👌🏻with an R6 sitting next to it in the garage🤣

[@Xt1000]

Does that bike have a military base sticker on the front fork left side? If so that was my bike bought it brand new. It originally had a red and black tank and side covers. I scratched up the tank with a tank bag. I ordered a replacement tank but it was the gray color, so I ordered two side covers to match. I traded it with about 35k miles for a guitar in Ohio in 89.

[@twowheeledwarrior]

No sticker , and the speedometer is in KM ( not miles).pretty sure a Canadian bike ..Must have been a really nice guitar !

[@The9meister]

Nice bike, still does the same thing as a new bike

[@phoenixarizona8441]

Slap a 4 in 1 exhaust on it they sound wicked thats the sound newer bikes want

[@theoriginaljimmykicker]

Love the Brit bike look of these.

[@chollythecrazycorgihesinsa6505]

Nice bike!

[@zulu6ix290]

Interesting because another YT said it’s the best at turns

[@BROKE-N-NATIVE5789]

TheSe aRe GreAt BiKes 4SuRe! & back then Suzuki had all the accessory's others didn't ... "FaN*TaSTiC" ~~ RiDe and ReView! RI✌️ 💔🇺🇸

[@Tibiansgarage]

Did he or you cut the exhaust?

[@twowheeledwarrior]

Hey Kierr. I haven’t, the exhaust was replaced by him 12 years ago ? I don’t believe anything has been cut or modified Except for the mirrors. It looks exactly like the one I had as a teen

[@JosephBarrow-hj9nh]

Do you still have it?

[@twowheeledwarrior]

I do not,Sold it to a friend who hadn’t had a bike in MANY years . Great bike but , it was just collecting dust

[@JosephBarrow-hj9nh]

@@twowheeledwarrior my father had this bike when I was a kid. He’d throw me on the back seat with a rope tying me to him when I was 6 or 7 and tear down the back country roads. Please let me know if your friend decides to sell!

[@ianbestor1528]

Late 70's Jap-Bikes are THE best. I"m always on the lookout for any from 650-900cc. Love'em.

[@HandyL]

No, I am not like you. I have not had one of these bikes in the past. I will although have one in the future 😉

[@twowheeledwarrior]

Cheers
