I had a 1975 Suzuki 550Gt ,Loved it..

[@beeboyes]

I had one of these back in the day with a Windjammer fairing (when touring) and saddle bags. Rode it all over the US and Canada, even into Mexico. That engine has a unique sound. Mine had a blueprinted top end and was super smooth. It was a blast to ride.

Still having fond memories of this bike. I owned one from 1973 until 1976. Modded with racing handlebars and an non-silenced 3 in 1 expansion exhaust. My neighbors must have hated me when I went off to work each day at 7 in the morning lol!

woodyamsterdam Nice, awesome bike and you are probably right about your neighbours 😊.

[@jensgerdes45]

I do have one right as we speak - 1975 550 GT- soon with Allspeed exhaust. I love it !

[@shayneosullivan1830]

Change plugs; Sync the carbs.
Change the air filter (and the gearbox oil... and flush the 2-stroke reservoir).
Must have been a really dry barn - this thing is beautiful!
:-)

[@ModifyOrDie]

Yeah its a lovely bike

[@paulpain9076]

I remember buying that bike bran new off the showroom. have a vmax now

[@TimCausleyhorsemanship]

Had 1975-in 1978-very good bottom end torque--more than the 1978 Honda 750F I replaced it with--good power even 2 up

[@dennisfalan1623]

I had 2 of these and a water buffalo one of my brothers also had a 550 543cc and my other brother had a 380 I think 371 cc and a couple 550's also Ive seen these things set up with with RM 250 heads and pistons at the drags they were quick they really were great bikes

[@ModifyOrDie]

@@jackxish Nice, its a great bike!

[@jackxish]

Hey just wondering what size jets did you use to match your expansion chambers ? Thanks

[@ModifyOrDie]

@@jackxish Good question, this was my dads bike, will have to ask him, however I cant recall if he put the pipes on or not.

[@markgiles8527]

Groovy!

[@DomWeselnyBrzozieLub]

Fantastic bike ...

[@fisher7840]

Love the sound have the bike 1980 and i miss it, not to fill it whith gas cause it was teursti

[@propellskalle]

I see you have dual discs up front. Is that a set up from a GT750? Is it a good upgrade?

[@ModifyOrDie]

propellskalle Hey, yes they are off the GT750. Makes a noticeable difference and worth the upgrade. 👍

[@RogerBarraud]

Auckland!

[@charlesarmstrong-vu3qj]

Had one from new gr8 bike gd cruiser +reliable

[@pnotuner1]

I got my 77 GT-550 up to 110+ before it went speed wobble on me. Just a little bit scary.

[@ModifyOrDie]

Cool bikes huh

[@pnotuner1]

Yes sir. The low burble is like a treble hook

[@bernardprezeau7398]

[@pavanatanaya]

Owned one. We did 140mph together

[@interman7715]

Lucky bugger😊

[@markgiles8527]

how much did your father buy that for?

[@bjrnlillevold5420]

Nice bike but bad exhaust system

[@christippins7354]

Crap music.open the bike up man!

[@theoriginalmungaman]

Stop calling it very original! The bars are wrong, the mirrors are wrong, the expansion chambers didn’t come on it or the dual discs, in short its molested. Its worth much more completely original. It will never be worth the money of the Kawasaki H1 that they were trying to copy as they aren’t very fast. They’re still neat though.

[@ModifyOrDie]

It’s a video, I really can’t go back in time and stop saying words you don’t like 😂

[@theoriginalmungaman]

@@ModifyOrDie Then look up the word original and learn from your mistake!

[@ModifyOrDie]

@@theoriginalmungaman hahah ok 👍

[@KevZX-10RC1H]

Unfortunately a very boring video I was hoping you where going to open the bike up and give it some revs to hear that lovely sound but you didn't oh well onto the next video

[@ModifyOrDie]

Lol 😂

[@jensgerdes45]

Would have loved that too 😂🎉

[@RogerBarraud]

Buy some gloves, Squid!
