1975 Suzuki GT185 Adventuer

[@MartianTom]

First bike I ever had, bought on HP on my 17th birthday, summer of '75. Same colour as this. Mine had the 'drop' bars, though. I think the price new was £435. Had to pay for it over 2 years. Did a lot of miles and burns on that baby. Only issue I had with it was the exhaust baffles, which broke up within about 6 months. Made so much noise you could hear me coming 3 miles away! It had a little bag of tools under the seat - a couple of open-end spanners and a plug spanner.

Some versions of this bike had a fatal engine flaw. The oil dipstick mounted in the rubber stopper could vibrate into the path of the primary gearset and be ground away. The steel of the dipstick wears away in ~1,000 miles and the bottom of the stick drops into the trans. Before that the transmission is full of metal dust. I image that a bike that you would find would likely have had the dipstick removed from the stopper. Wonderful bike to ride, but ...

Great bike when you are 4' 10" tall and it was before the cruiser bikes.
