We always used to call them GT750's :lol: Great bikes for sure - never saw more than 110 mph on the speedo on mine though :evil:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

i remember following Dave Pitcher on his GT750 when i was on my GS1000 years ago - the americans had the right name for it 'water buffalo' as that how it looked like it handled

cornering not a strong point.......

Flexi Flyer was another commonly used name, although I think that related to most 70's big Jap bikes :shock:

Sprint, I'll be selling one of my Kettles in the next few weeks / months: but not sure which one yet :)

GT 750B - in fantastic original nd un-restored condition (apart from a full engine rebuild about 4 years ago - just before I bought her), I've a little bit of history with the bike. Ive put about 4000 miles on her in the past 4 years and she has never let me down.
Image

GT 750L -I restored this one myself over the past couple of years: its a concours and original bike: and Ive restored most of the original parts. There are a couple of usual Kettle niggles i am sorting (carb surging). Put 500 miles on her this year with no drama's.
Image

Here they are with my Zed :D

If you want any more info just PM me
Cheers Tim

Hi David

Thanks for letting me know about the J that may be available. However, I really am looking for a twin disc model, L, M or A. B's look a bit too much like the GS's but still considered.
