    Memories of the Transatlantic Trophy at Brands, Mallory and Oulton......

    I remember watching the Suzuki works kettles in the mid 70s with their flexi frames. Reputedly hard acceleration dragged the back wheel out of alignment towards the gearbox.......Kawasaki’s weren’t much better so it was all hare and tortoise between BSA, Triumph and Norton on the corners and Japanese two strokes on the straights.

    Beautiful bike, Steve. How was it finding parts for the Suzuki? I was a Suzuki mechanic and was contemplating a GT750 basket case I've seen for sale.

    Thank you,
    Steve
