THIS BEAUTIFUL SUZUKI GT250 X7 IS IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION, HAVING BEEN FULLY RESTORED, INCLUDING A FULL ENGINE REBUILD, WITH NO EXPENSE SPARED!
Nothing beats the crisp shrill of a two-stroke on-pipe. It’s an aural treat, particularly for those of a certain age who still ride with a finger hovering over the clutch lever!
Modern motorbikes are far faster and more powerful than their equivalents from the Seventies – but not if you’re 17 years old and just getting into biking. Back in 1978, speed-crazed teenagers were excitedly taking to the road on Suzuki’s latest learner-bike – advertised as “the new ‘Ton-up’ GT250 X7”.
Suzuki’s headline was just about accurate, too. Motor Cycle News speed-trapped the X7 at 99. 34mph, and a tester from Motorcycle Mechanics magazine recorded a timed top speed of 100. 5mph at Chobham test track in Surrey, albeit after removing its mirrors to squeeze out the last em-pee-aitch.
And that was with an otherwise standard X7, too. With its carburettors tweaked and its standard pipes swapped for screaming expansion chambers, the little two-stroke twin was good for over 115mph. Learner riders had never had it so good.
