Suzuki GS750 | The Superbike Snake in the Grass

A classic motorcycle like no other, the Suzuki GS750 took all the best elements from other Japanese superbikes at the time and surprised everyone by making them even better. See and hear this legendary 1970s motorbike out on the roads and experience what it’s like to ride today.

Bikes of the 70s just looked better than today's mechanoids. The GS1000 took this fine Suzi to the next level, great memories here, thank you.

I have a 78 GS750 myself! She's my pride and joy!

These bikes had engines that "never died"! They still run well!!

Nice film tribute to this timeless classic. I've had my '79 (V-reg) GS750 in classic red for over 20 years and it's still going strong.

One of my teachers in secondary school had one of these. It was 1978. He taught art and liked a drink as well. Cool guy.

After learning to ride on a '73 (or '74, can't recall) Honda CB350F, I bought a new Suzuki GS750 in 1978. I was you and didn't know much about the GS750, only that it was larger than my CB350F and it looked cool. So I got lucky in choosing that because it was a great bike for many years of riding with nothing more than basic routine maintenance.

Always loved my GS750, after a few years moved up to GS850 but always missed my GS750. Great video brings back many happy times on it.

I had a 1976 GT750 Water Buffalo and then got a 1978 GS1000, which is a slightly bigger brother to the GS750. The GT750 2-stoke triple had horrendous handling, reminiscent of an over-loaded wheel barrow, I think largely due to a high center of gravity and an unusually short wheelbase. But my GS1000 handled like a dream!!

great video, I feel so sad that I didin't keep my gs 750, all you tell is the truth, the bike was so smooth and for me so important, it was the most realible bike I ever had, cruised almost whole Europe on my Suzuki without any fails.

My 1978 is still my daily rider. About 80, 000 miles (~130, 000 km) and still runs like new.

1981 gs750 down here in East Sussex. Best bike I have ever owned.

Had one of these back in the day, and yeah I still miss her....

Cracking film, keep up the good work. My father ran a large Heron Suzuki Dealership in the West Midlands in the mid 70s. I still remember as a child sitting on GS's and 'Kettles' and RM motocrossers. Happy Days.

My friend had one and I had a cb750 f1, the Suzuki ran rings round the Honda. When I had a ride the front wheel was in the air half the time, I loved it:)
I eventually bought a gsxr1100 in 87, but my favorite bike was a 76 GT380👍

This shape, this style actually this is perfect bike. Round shape headlight real bike.

I remember collecting mine from the dealer. I'd had othing like it before - so beautifully smooth. Added 4 into 1, Rearsets and Flat bars. I loved it.

I was on my ap50 back in 1977, remember seeing a wire wheeled one, black with gold pin stripes, gorgeous, bought a gs550 version in the eighties but the 750 was the best engine of the GS series.

[redfive]

I'll never forget my 1976 Suzuki GS750! Beautiful, powerful, smooth motorcycle!

Straight out of college, bought a blue 1977 GS750 and toured the U.S. with buddies on a Triumph Bonneville and Honda CB750. Still have the bike and still runs smooth as ever.

One memory is being stopped, and then surrounded, by 4 cop cars in Oregon. After a half hour of interrogation that determined, no, I was not the guy that had just robbed a local bank and made his getaway on a blue motorcycle.

Had a GS550, loved it. We had some fun together!
