Just like the future; no petrol. They were turf powered; keeping the float bowls clean was a curse. With fuel injection we will not have that to worry about when the turf comes back.

Paul Dunstall had most of my disposable income for years This 99 had Dunstall tank, rearsets, clip-ons, sweepies and megs. The oil tank leak was free

One of my bros, 'Batman' on here had a whole rash of Suzuki's ... if only he had taken more pics.

I don't think he had every model they produced but he certainly had many of the GT/GS models.

Maybe this thread will nudge him into a picture post

That brings back some happy memories - I was into 2 stroke Suzukis meself ...T250 and GT 250, GT550, GT750, T500...

Must get that negative scanner I've been musing about and burn some midnight oil...

old bikes

theres a civil sort of fellow up the street from me with one of those bikes, he used to take it out for a push now and again but finally gave up trying to ride it. Just too much bother but nice to look at.
