    Driving along the A511 this morning from Leicester to Burton, near Ashby, 2 GT750's riding together in the opposite direction to heading towards Leicester.
    Don't think I've ever seen 2 together, no real detail seen, looked and sounded fantastic!

    They may well have been!
    That B model looks lovely, a great photo.
    The 2 that I saw were earlier models, can't be specific though.
    I always did like those bikes, back in the early 80's me and a mate rode down to a bike show at Earls Court, (pre N.E.C.)
    I was on my CB750K6 he was on his GT750B, same colour as the one in your photo, happy days!

    My mates got one in bits in his garage.
    He can't afford to rebuild it but he won't sell it, paid £150 for it.

    I had 1 about '78, great bike, had it about 9 months then the chain broke and smashed the casing, they were big bits luckily that Araldited back together nicely, held foe atleast another 3 months before I px'ed it for a Honda.
    Wish I still had it now too!

    p.s. RR I'd give him £250 cash no questions!

    I see one quite regularly around Lichfield. A mates mate had one in the late 70's when we were on our GT250's. I'd love one, or a 380 or a 550..

    I had a GT380, well until the middle pot seized.
    Great acceleration not great in corners.

    Now we're all a bit older the GT gets ridden with a bit more care not like I'd have ridden her at 17 so middle pot should be ok

    Here's my old Suzi, bought new from Nelson & Ford, Basildon, alas I think this is all that remains, cant find any trace on line.
    I'd love to find she's sitting in a cardboard box or even complete in a barn or garage some-where, but a slim chance!:(
    Cant find any of the kettle, I know I didn't take many, but strange they've all gone.
