I have just come back from a test ride on this rather lovely Suzuki GT 550L model and it has reminded me what a lovely easy to ride machine these are.
Full of two-stroke character they are nevertheless quite a refined bike with an electric start, digital gear indicator and so on but they do have a surprisingly brisk turn off speed, much more so than it’s smaller sibling the GT380
The particular example rode in a very smooth way and in terms of handling is more lithesome than say a Gt750 or a big Kawasaki while still retaining a good measure of speed.
We sold this bike a couple of years ago to a customer who has now part exchanged it for a Kawasaki. Naturally we have just serviced this bike in our workshop, checking ignition timing with a dial gauge as we always do, balanced the carbs and generally given it a good going over.
We have also stripped the front of the bike and replaced the head bearings.
With two keys and an owner’s manual, this very attractive machine has obviously been completely restored and it shows in every aspect.
