I had one for a week and that was a week to long it was so painfully slow 85 mph my mates gt185 beat it lol but the gt550 totally different and the gt500 twin then I bought a LC350 HAD IT BORED OUT 427 STAN STEVENS GIVE IT A MAX PORTING SKIM HEADS BIGGER CARBS SET OF HIS PIPES AND IT PUT OUT ,92.3 BHP QUICH AS FUCK BUT BLEW IT UP AFTER A MONYH
I’d love to have one today
Had the very bike. 1972 Suzuki GT380J in red. Lovely bike back in the day.
Do you have a scan of the full sales voucher
Yes 1976 new from Motorcycle City Farnborough UK.
Had two & loved them both.Preferred them to the 550 and 750 and owned all three triples.
Nope, but a 550 and a 750, still miss that oneπ₯²
Had a few of them back in the day....they were unloved and very cheap, despite being a half decent bile.
Ridden, not owned π
Never made sense to me to trap hot air on the heads. On a 60 degree day at 60 miles an hour OK, but in traffic on an 90 degree day?
No had GT550 and a GT750
Yep π got a lovely red GT380A now
Had the GT 550 piper 3 into 1 not sure it did much for the power but sounded amazing
110mph?
Nope π
Had the 1975 model, looks good, sounds good, slow as a snail lol
So underpowered it wouldn't even pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Check out this gaggle of Kawasaki 750 H2 triples (plus some other early 1970's classic bikes too!) in a car chase featuring that ubiquitous gangster mobile, the Fiat 132. A masterclass in wheelying a classic Kawasaki 2-stroke - oh - and turn up the speakers to hear that triple howl!
Thamks for sharing this beautifull vedeo, because I like very much the FIAT 132 & the motorcycles .
That Fiat would have corroded away before it took chase.
I remember seeing that film at the Granada
Where's the two strokes?
Those Kawasaki 750 triples were rocketships! To call them exciting to ride was an understatement!!
What was this from? The Sweeny or something?
Yes 2 stroke kawis great engine
My god I wish I was back then, so many memories good ones to. I had a 500 and two 750 triples then a 1000 Z1. Better world for sure, and we all knew what a woman was then to ππ
What is the title of this movie?
Film L 'Agression tournée avec les pilotes GP de l époque .
I ran that bike in a warehouse area with a 1976 limited edition goldwing with four into one Kirker header with bigger jets tuned! And beat him!
Z1 also I believe!....
Fantastic film, got to say car driver was pretty good as well π
Bet that TX750 had trouble keeping up! π
In the 1970's; I had a 500, also drove Fiats..... my dad was a salesman at a Fiat dealership.
These old H2S rode great unintended wheelies you just had to convince your buddies you meant to do it and the other reason they were good wheel standers was the rider had a full load of shit in his drawers making the ass end of the bike even heavier after the front end came up and the tach and speedometer was 1 inch from your nose fun times π³
What's this, italian mad Max? La pazzo Massimo?
The bikes that ruined British bike manufacturers my opinion
Great engine! 2 stroker
Good stuff.
Seemed a fair race, the Fiat and the Triple had the same handling characteristics.
Kudos to the stunt lady wearing a skirt for protection.

I wonder how many of you will remember this place? - The seaside town of Morecambe in Lancashire was once home to a fabulous kart racing circuit on Heysham Head. Racing ended there in the mid-1980's but it was a favourite track for the gearbox kart classes with 250cc Superkarts having an annual World Cup which attracted big name drivers and sponsors. I never drove there but spectated loads of times - Did you ever go? π€
#Morecambe #heysham #karting #kartracing #superkart
Had a few do's on the carts early 80s and watched a lot of races, when I used to stay at ocean edge
I used to go with my dad quite a few videos on you tube
never knew about this but used to watch racing at New Brighton along the front
Morecambe and Heysham Kart Club Facebook page has lots of photos/videos and history on the Circuit and the drivers etc. Enjoy
Yes I raced there from 1982 on a zip merlin rotax ποΈπ
Went once as a kid π
Yes. Was a cracking circuit
Never knew anything about it, I would have gone,
Any results etc. No commentary on video etc?

I had a ride on one that my mate turned up with didn't think that it was anything special probably depends on what you are used to
I regret not getting one when I lived in Europe in the 90s
My mate had one at the same time as I had an F1 YPVS. It was capable for sure.
Nah, don't like trial bikes. I am a Bloke In The UK and know a lot about motorbikes, and my GSX-R Fifty Squillion Billion Million has a bigger engine in it which gives it a higher top speed, so it's better. And that is the end of the conversation, and I'm the clear winner. See you all at Bike Night.
I could never see the point of the TDR back in the day but now I would love one .

Thinking back earlier to the fantastic Easter Transatlantic Trophy series of the 70's and 80's made me realise just how lucky we were - The world's best riders at the time, often on works machinery and on circuits we knew so well. Check out this gem from the 1977 meeting at Oulton Park, an event I was lucky enough to be at (I really am that old π€¨) ...
I used to follow the Transatlantic Trophy. Absolutely loved it. What a time. Watching Sheene and Roberts battling it out. The smell of the Castrol R in the air and free ciggies from Marlborough. They handed them out like sweets. Best was Brands as we got to race back through the Dartford tunnel. The exhausts sounded amazing πππ
Loved this series always went to the Brands meeting
Remember the one at brands that was cancelled because of snow !! π«€
At Oulton in 80 and 81, still have the programs in the loft, the worlds best riders an hour from home!
Just the best times!!
My first race meeting was the 78 Oulton Transatlantic, been hooked ever since.
I never knew before watching this vid that Phil Read rode a works Kawasaki in the 77 series.
Unfortunately it got very expensive to watch.
I was at the brands meeting
Beautiful photo of Barry
Frank Sheene was always in the mix when Barry's bike need fettling.

Used to go to all the Brands Hatch ones in the 70’s π

I am lucky to be alive. ‘69 with a drum brake and 5 up shift pattern wasn’t called a widow-maker for nothing.
I had a tuned 750 Kettle for a bit 30 years ago...would love a go on an old H2 triple.....the power band on the old large capacity 2 strokes were just amazing......I've been through 20 odd bikes since and only my latest ZZR14 compares to the rush the old smoker used to be like when it got going.
I’d love to ride them both π
Well I'm half way there got the H1 just waiting for Kylie to give me a call π
Sometimes -- long ago -- in my livingroom -- in Finland. This is the first H1 who come to Finland. In for BIG service.
I can’t get it out of my head, boy. Those cylinders are all I think about …
The 70-ties was the best time.
I still love my little racing bike best....
I had two of em back in the day. This one ( the first model ) and the next model - a 2 tone blue. Awesome bikes. ( but neither of the Mach III's I had, came with the blond...)
Drove one of those once, hard flat out in a straight line. FUN FUN FUN, but not so good in the corners. Miss my 76 RD400!!!
Still got one!
I had this one in France without the electronic ignition, the best bike I’ve ever owned even going on vacation in UK with it.
I whish Kawasaki could make a retro 750 H2 of those old 3 pipe 2 strokesπ»π
I wonder which is faster the bike or her lol. Had a 70 loved it .
I owned one of the original 1970 models, red one, wish I still had it
I've seen my brother smoke a few with his Yamaha R5 350 back in the day.
I road sometime this model but with drum breaks… While you break, you must be Merlin the wizard to know where you will stop!ππ° Then in 1972 i bought the model with break disk. More pleasure, less widow maker.
I had a 500 triple when I was younger until my cousin pulled out in front of me and I t boned him it would get up and go at high rpm’s

Always wondered how these would run with expansion chambers. Great motors but not super fast in stock form but just a smooth highway bike imo.
ruined collectable bike
The question is, supposing you built a really top quality and well specced hard tail chopper, then what engine do you put in it, if your averse to Milwaukee ditch pumps? Most big air cooled IL4 engines have been done to death. The Bandit and XJR engines would really look the part, but other than a Triumph triple, where do you go next? Unless you can build 2x YZ490's onto a V-twin crankcase, then a Kettle or H2 in Matt black might be the next best thing?
My spine is still recovering from having a hardtail nearly 30 years ago.....can't imagine one now with all the potholes. Cool bike though.
A hard tail chop two stroke - nope it doesn’t compute - it doesn’t look badly done but it’s not for me - I rode a hard tail some years ago and once was enough

Why?
CHECK THIS OUT! - Kelvin Bonarski's (the chap who built the 'Yambretta') wonderful 4-cylinder Yamaha RD500 featured by the guys at Stone Automotive π²
This bike first caught my eye 2 years ago when I was in UK visiting my family, it was in a magazine & myself being a big fan of RD's I had to purchase the magazine which was great reading for the long flight back to New Zealand - WHAT AN AMAZING MOTORCYCLE, big grin factor & it isn't even my bike - huge respect to the builder of this ππππ
Imagine he'd used 2 RD350s or 400s.
Absolutely wonderful.π€π

For sale on eBay: ebay.us/9T0vOA
En realidad nunca supe de un RD homenaje a Johnny cecotto nuestro por siempre campeón Venezolano pero muy bien por el, demuestra que Yamaha le tuvo respeto y aprecio a su labor como piloto
Still not sold it?
Ad - Honda NS125F - Remember these - did you have one? π€
For sale on eBay: bit.ly/446liS8
Got this one available too.
Just sold this one.
I had my mbx50 but really wanted the NS125F
Yes I had 1
Beautiful bikes. I have 2 nsr 125.
WOW! - Was Hondaβs 1980 RC125M Twin Cylinder the trickest motocross bike ever built - what do you reckon? π€
am I correct in thinking that they used this motor in a gp bike?.
Did the small displacement two cylinder motor end up having any commercial success?
interesting stuff, I had a mooch on line and it wasn't just Honda who did a 2 cyl 125 dirt bike. yamaha built one in 1974/75 with works support. the only one that I found that was actually raced was a gilera and that never won a race and broke all the time.
I thought Cagiva were first? π€
Some piece of engineering that . Anti dive & Works very well but people don't like the complicated design
Love to hear it running.
Damn! I can only imagine what one would have to pay to own one of these nowadays.
Kevin Martine une rareté !!! πππ

odc707r baja brown gone but never forgotten π’
I doubt there's many MY 75 Baja Brown Fizzies on an N-reg.
Me too! KMD 729P.. the last time I could afford a personalised number plate. Albeit I only paid about a tenner over going rate for 2yo Fizzies back in 77, and still only lost 25 pound after a year of debauchery.
My fs1e which I sold 9 years ago for £1650 (non matching numbers) with lots of spares - ARL 44T

Silly money now ,part x mine for £75 against a GT 185 ...

Ad - Street racer style Yamaha RD250E/YDS7. Some nice bits on this one - check out those Astralites π
For sale on eBay: bit.ly/3Qfn7qf
The Wheels are the best bit
I have a pair of unused Astralites not sure what bike they will fitted to yet.
The extra padding on the seat speaks volumes. π
now that is a cracking good bike.
Could have done a better description on eBay.. plenty of cycle parts that are not 250E let alone DS7.
Pity it's not a RD400E/F motor
Man that's nice !!
That’s nice
I'll allow it ππ»
Pure thuggery only one way to ride that
