What is This?

I owned this bike in the mid-70s in Okinawa.

First one to correctly identify (Make, model, & year) gets a big ATTA-BOY.

Good Luck!!

It's a MOTORCYCLE!!!! Do I win? arty: :yahoo: :yes:

:smilie_happy:

Looks like a Uki water buffalo to me....

yep Suzuki 750 triple ....water buffaloo id say id say 1970

1972 gt750 suzuki

Looks like the old 2 stroke Suzuki 750 Water Buffalo to me :salute: They were really fast. :read:

I had it's little brother. Air cooled 550 gt. That was one fast bike!

I like everything about this bike. I bet they are either hard to find, expensive(in nice shape) or both...

~O~

1973 GT750K 2-stroke water-cooled triple and yes it was fast.

So far, the smallest attaboy goes to AApple for correctly identifying it as an Uki motorcycle.
The leading contender is detdrbuzzard for being closest to the correct model year. Actually, all the years resembled each other so I'll say he gets the ATTA-BOY.

I bought it in Okinawa and shipped it back to the States when we rotated back to Griffiss AFB NY. I rode it from Syracuse NY one summer to Panama City Fl and back, stored it when we went to Alaska for 3 years, and then rode it for 2 years in Apple Valley Ca when we were stationed there 82-84. The bike (or what is left of it) is leaning against a backyard fence in Hesperia Ca, the last I heard. The plastic and rubber parts are junk, but metal rusts very slowly in the High Desert.

Ah, memories.

I have a picture of one with my then girlfriend now wife sitting on it. It was not fast and tended to surge at highway speeds. The speed limit was 55 then. They would smooth out nicely at 70 mph. And the brakes were pretty weak. I installed tapered head bearings and a phenolic sprocket that really quieted down chain noise. Good runner and never fouled plugs.

Really!
I want to buy that one.
Any contact info?
Price?

I tried to call the owner last night, but no luck. A different person answered the number I have. I guess it's gone.

There is one on EBay at https://www.ebay.com/itm/Suzuki-Other-/1 ... 1933453990

That's too bad.
Thanks.
