The GT series is a series of two-stroke chain drive motorcycles manufactured and marketed by Suzuki for model years 1972-1977, with a range of engine capacities and cylinder counts. For 1976, the two-cylinder T500 Titan was given a new front end with a single-disc brake as well as freshened up bodywork. It was henceforth known as the GT500, discontinued at the end of 1977, so had a very short production life. The GT500 was not graced with Ram Air cooling, probably because Suzuki already knew that their large-capacity two-stroke road bikes were reaching the end of their production lives.

This example of the rare one year only GT500 was imported in 2018 and presented in Candy Red. Supplied with a V5C Registration Document, and with just 13,000 miles, this all matching numbers example is wonderfully original but for the mud guard. This is certainly one of the best GT's we have seen. Last ridden in 2022, as part of a private collection, it would benefit from a service or light re commissioning. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
