Here you can post a picture of you and your bike. Also where you are located and if you are prepared to give local kettle owners some of your time and experience.Please don't do discussions here just some facts about yourself. This was Glens idea! Thanks BAZ

Suzuki GT125 and GT750 from Norway

Post by LHDrs500 »

Hello, i`m a new member in here. I first restore a GT 750 K to my self, then i restore a GT125 to my 16 year old son. As you seen in the picture i have painted the GT 125 in the same collor and stripes as the GT 750.This attracts attention when we are out running together :-)

Hello,& a warm welcome to the forum,an absolute stunning job you've made on the Suzukis,what a great idea to make them look alike,as far as the colour scheme & stripping go,you can be justly proud of your efforts,I thought my GT750A was " clean"!! Until I saw your bikes!! Are old Japanese bikes very popular in Norway? here in Australia (Sydney)people are becoming very interested in restoring Japanese bikes mainly from the '70's Kawasaki s H2 750,Z900 - Z1000,Suzukis all the triples,T500,& the GS series 750 to 1000, Yamaha XS650,the RD series,Honda 750 Fours etc Have you got any plans to do another bike in the future? As the photos show you have done a superb job on both these bikes!

Regards.
Roger.

Welcome to the site. Great looking bikes, and tremendous vision and planning to get the 125 ready for your son to ride too :-)

Welcome.
What a beautiful restoration, I think the 'little' 125 looks every bit as good as the 750. Mind you the kettle motor looks like it's spend a few hours under the polisher.

Do you know there's a screw missing from the side panel ?

Welcome, the Kettle and the GT125 both look superb !!
Seeing those 2 bikes side by side, just reaffirms how good Japanese bike design and aesthetics were in the early to mid 70's, compared to todays offerings.

Also welcome. I just LOVE the work you have done. Its must give you and your son joy to ride these old beasts, so well prepared. I started out at 17 years old on a two stroke twin of 125cc, just mine was a 1971 Yamaha YAS1. It was fast, but not as nice to look at as that lovely 125.
Cheers,
Mike
