GT380 Cafe Racer purchased from Suzuki Ann Arbor around 1978

Post by kb75ts250 »

I'm going to take a long shot and see if anyone here recalls or might know the whereabouts of a '72 GT380 homebuilt cafe racer which was sold out of Suzuki Ann Arbor sometime in the '77 - '79 time frame. Distinctive features were GT750 front end with thin turned dual disks, layed-down shocks, blacked out engine with 3 seperate cylinder heads and an CCI oil tank in the tail section.

Blimey, that is a real long-shot! I hope you find it, but chances are slim. Sounds like it was a lovely bike.

Good luck with that.
If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........

Thanks guys. After all the work selling that particular bike was definitely the biggest motorcycle related mistake I ever made. I know this is super long shot but what the hell.
