Had two gt 750`s. 73 & 74 real good power. 32- 37 mpg . Easy on chain and sprockets.Never ever broke down. Handle lots of extra weight for touring!Good clutch, easy on plugs. But you have to ride at the Back of the Pack cause nobody likes the smell !!!!!!!!

i too am a big fan of two strokes, i have a gt 250, a gt750, a h1, a rd400, and a rd 400 daytona + a few more... nothing like 2 stroke power. i really like the rd's - awesome handling ..most run with no battery, and once setup are pretty indestructible. the plug fouling/piston holing is really not an issue once they're setup properly..

Charlie, Bob - I'm a big Suzuki two-smoker fan, had quite a few two strokes over the years and they have a major advantage in simplicity for the over-the-road rider. No valves, pushrods, cams, cam chains, etc. No oil changes. The GT-750 is the best of the lot. I had a '73 and a '75, they were great bikes, smooth, powerful, I always enjoyed their power delivery. I used to get 1250 miles to a quart of injector oil. Most of my four-strokes burn more than that, and the Suzuki is DESIGNED to burn it. I just last week bought an almost-mint '76 Suzuki GT-500 two-stroke twin (the later version of the 'Titan') and have been having a good time buzzing around on it. Just like I remembered. Back in the day before the marketeers had convinced everyone that if you have a bike less than 1500 CC you're just a punk, people used to hang a Windjammer and bags on a GT-500 and hit the interstate for the opposite coast. The 750 will hold its own with any modern tourer....sort of like a loopframe!
