Last of the triples! largely the same as the "B" apart from the tank and the clocks, now black faced. Side panels became "body" coloured again. The X7 fuel cap fits if you need one or a locking one.

Re: GT380 C a rare bike
Always a bit wary over things like clocks, all the sales brochures show and mention black faced clocks but you know what Suzuki were like at change of model or here last of the line, "whatever's left in the parts bin". The fuel tank was altered to meet the new regulations about flush "fillers" to protect gentleman's private parts!!!

Pic of one relatively local, I suspect one of the ones Quark77 knows.

Staggering that Suzuki re-tooled for the tank knowing that the bike was on run out and would only sell a few thousand units. They knew the way legislation was going so trialled with an obsolete model. Just shows the Japanese business mentality of long term product development

Re: GT380 C a rare bike
Well it's very late numbers just assume it's late B model.
