Suzuki gt250x7 w reg 1981. UK bike 16,000 genuine miles from new. Engine, carbs, Forks, Caliper rebuilt. Alloy polishing, chrome work and all zinc completed. Rides like a new bike!
As the excited owner of the restored X7, i would just like to say a massive thank you to Steve & blue haze for doing such an incredible job with her.. You are an amazing talent..
Evokes so many memories for me … I had one when I was 17 back in ‘81 in the same colour way … I upgraded the rear shocks to Koni’s as the bugger ‘tramped’ like crazy on fast bends …
❤a truly immaculate retro bike. Altho the Yamaha LC 250 was talk of the town, i prefer the Suzi X7 for its reliability & bare looks. I also remember mild modified X7s could smoke LCs !!!
I bought a brand new blue one in August 1978 for £780 from P.McNulty and Sons in N Ireland. Registration number was BIL 9997. I thrashed the living sh*t out of it for two years, hit a dog and came off it once, lowsided it twice and traded it in for a 400/4❤
I had one back in April 79 and it felt cheap compared to my previous bike a Honda 250 Dream. Don't get me wrong, Suzuki's always had a good build quality with their earlier GT250's twins, and Triples. But this one didn't quite cut it for me. Sure, it was fast, but the front brake squealed all the time, and the engine developed piston slap just under 3000 miles. Even though I was not riding it that hard. The paint was also very thin, I accidently dropped a key on the tank, and it chipped immediately. I had a Yamaha RD200 previous to this, and it was robust, and had a really good paint job. It was the early 70's 200A model, before the "Coffin Tank" DX models which I also disliked. Just my opinion. Incidently, I also owned a 250 SuperDream, and CM250 Custom, both of which, were far better than the X7.

Lucky man
I believe that if Suzuki releases it again with an Aluminum frame and uses a rear monoshock, many people will be attracted and buy it.👍
2 strokes like those cannot pass modern emmissions regulations.
One of the best looking classic bikes ever.

Unbelievable. Shockingly good.
Thanks dude. Completed today and ready to be returned to its owner!
Gorgeous! so sweet handling, only thing in its day could take the fight to the RD250
Interesting shape in the 70s and 80s era.
A real beauty !!!!
Very cool old bike
Very nice Suzuki Gt 250😊👍
Nice work, I think the blue was the nicest colour, just like my EX model.
I think red was best colour
@@gdcodurham. Each to their own. I always associate Suzukis with blue

Same wheels as the GS 125. Morris is the cheapest and best 2T oil you can get keeps it running cool on a long slog.
Lovely bike 👌
SUPERB.
Great work
Beautiful job, great looking bike, memories of being 17 all over.👍
That bike is now sold and gone but after I restored it, the bike looked and felt like a new machine to ride. A real blast from the past, literally!
🏍👍👍👍
This is awesome
Tengo una quisiera restaurarla me gusta mucho fue mi primera moto
Passed my test on one of these, very light compared to the RD and KH 250's but not much quicker.
1630 😊
looks like new
I want to be seventeen again….😂
looks and sounds like new whats it worth plz
Is this for sale and how much is it? Can you communicate with me please I am really interested.
I'm afraid it was sold soon after the video went on UA-cam. It was genuinely a stunning bike in every way.
How much? Or shouldn’t I ask👍🇬🇧
Now sold.
This model never imported to United States 🇺🇸
A lot of to Germany
@@petergerritgroen3157 i will trade my gs1000 with x7
You missed out on a fantastic and bonkers 250! Great times had on these as a 17 year old.
Looking to get my GT500 looking like new, if you know anyone that could quote for it? many thanks.
Where are you located?
