1974Suzuki GT185 Adventure

This bike was a train wreck when I first found it. When I got it home I found no oil in the forks and surface rust on almost every part. Rebuilt the forks and went through 400 pounds of sand blasting. Repainted frame reconditioned all the parts then painted tank and side covers. Also I rebuilt the breaks, front and back. Purchased missing parts, seat, mirrors and turn signals.

Beautiful. That exhaust note brought back some great memories.

I had a Suzuki 185 GT in 1974, it was exactly the same as yours but I had 'crash bars' on front and back (later banned in the UK) I think the Reg was RJA 57 N     I would have another in a shot but at 60yrs old my Wife may object, I loved riding that bike, I later rode a Suzuki 500 GT, my Mate had one, he was in the Navy and away a lot, I used to take the bike out once a month, Great ride but a bit big around town, he had a Honda 750 later and I got a few rides on that, I prefer 5 gears to 6. Great memories and enjoyed your post.

What a stunning job you did, that bike is lucky to have you, no other bikes sounds quite like the GT185 you know when one a coming without seeing it.

That bike is a thing of beauty to me. All I could afford was a GP125, which ran out of steam up the hills I had to go up to get to work. Loved it nonetheless. Nice video - enjoyed it

Brakes not Breaks brakes stop you, Breaks means it is broken. just trying to help. I wonder what a bike like this would cost

Looks good, and sounds good too. Well done ! Nice bike ! Having just been down this road with our X5 (google "Anne's X5" if you're interested), I now know how committed you need to be to finish it off this good.
