Welcome JABCE, where are you located and did you buy the 750 on ebay from a seller in Sheffield Alabama about 5 years ago? I looked at one just like that because it was close to home, looks familiar.

I'm in western Pennsylvania.

I think its probably a different bike. Was in Nevada when I purchased it off of eBay. Prior owner said he thinks the bike probably was always in the southwest. Also said he had it painted to match the original color.

Was it great shape when I got it. Had a handlebar-mounted windshield that I removed. One of the windshield mounts is visible in the picture. My other mods are: an H4 headlight, and modern voltage regulator & rectifier. Didn't know it at the time, but there was a crack in the existing rectifier so it probably would have eventually failed if I didn't replace it.

Future mods: Autocar/Newtronic ignition system, NOS luggage rack, drilled rotors, and tank decals. So that the bike can be returned to stock, I got a NOS seat and second set of rotors for drilling.

Thanks for the interest.
And have a Merry Christmas.

My other Suzuki two-strokes:

1969 T350 - looks like tank is for a T250


1973 GT250


Likely update next year: am thinking about selling the GT250 & getting a T500.

where in western pa are you ??? im in butler...and may be selling a t500...maybe hook up for a ride sometime

[jabcb]

I'm east of Pittsburgh & am about an hour away from you.
Will definitely have time to go ridding next year.

During the winter months I have several bikes in storage at bikes shops. Have no room for additional bikes till spring.

Seems like something always needs worked on or parts when you have a collection of vintage bikes that you actually ride. Currently the '71 T350 needs work (head gaskets & tuneup), have parts to put on the GT750 (Autocar/Newtronic ignition system, luggage rack & drilled rotors) & am collecting parts for the '69 T350 (mirrors & turn signals).

If I decide to get a T500, then would be looking for something in nice shape needing little or no work.

Hope you had a good Christmas & have a happy new year.
