My is 1973 model absolutely original and has covered only 41000 kms from new.I enjoy every moment riding it.I am 71 years old and have also 750 gt 1975 model restored to mint condition.I adore big two strokers and smell of burned 2t oil.
They really only smoked when cold and once warmed up ran very cleanly much like any 2 stroke of those days. The oil injection was really nice and worked great.
The engine should not smoke if the oil injection is adjusted correctly and you use ashless 2 stroke oil. They came from the factory with the oiling set rich for break in, the dealer was supposed to cut it down when the break in period was over but most didn't bother.

My first bike was a1972 Titan in blue. One day I'll find another one!
Thank you for the memories
I had one once..never rode anything else that made me smile so much..thanks
A 1972 GT-500 Was my favorite bike to ride & listen to the exhaust sounds!
It makes me belly laugh every time I ride it! We just took it on a family trip through some scenic parks in Utah this fall!
Just hearing that exhaust note and I'm 20 years old again with my girl on the back. I have owned 16 bikes since, it is only 2nd to my first gen Vmax.
Ha Awesome!
Oh, and it has points as well. What a blast from the past. Thanks Carl for reliving our youth. See you soon!
Can't wait!
