DESCRIPTION
It is widely accepted that the Suzuki GS750 was the first superbike from Japan to "get it right'. Many similar marques had either the power or the handling - but not both. Suzuki had finally created a bike that was both reliable and powerful but with a graceful handling ability not seen in other 1970's motorcycles. A much needed versatile bike had been born which would one day grow to become highly sought-after the world over.
This highly desirable Suzuki Café Racer has been customized by professional bike mechanics to the highest standard. The 750cc four-in-line engine is completely original, running beautifully and sounding very impressive, with transmission through the smooth 5-speed box. The frame has been modified and the rear sub-frame cut down to fit in and match the shape of a slim, custom made, hand-stitched seat. A new exhaust system has been fitted, including a custom-made manifold by Nick Gale Customs that has been grafted on. The rims and hubs have been powder-coated and thicker stainless spokes fitted. The frame has been repainted and the engine cases buffed up to a semi-gloss metallic finish, with the added detail of the wiring loom having been changed , the bike now benefits from LED indicators and modern ignition.
This impressive Café Racer comes complete with MoT to April 2014 with the V5 document present. Many past MoT's and a comprehensive build and invoice history also accompany this Lot.
