Suzuki GT500


Last gasp for the obsolete T500 Titan, the bike, largely unchanged in the previous 5 years, got a GT750 tank and (more or less) a GT380 disc brake front end for 1976. Definitely a stopgap as the next year the four stroke GS line was introduced. They keep turning up so they must have sold a few! This one was mostly original and had only 20,000 miles on the clock.

$2,750! -- People are dreamers, got to love them for that.

The (?) first-year T500 a buddy let me have for a few weeks was a real pleasure. Handling was just bad enough for easy cheap thrills; if you didn't push it, it was hard to find a major flaw.

I see a lot of really good café racers built from Titans. Wish I had one and could ride it if I did.
