Cool bike.
Ive got the bigger kettle in the garage, pretty nuts of a bike. If anyone needs a workshop manual for the GT380, I have one spare also.
Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

Shit! Best I ever got on the Kwaka 350 was 29 mpg!!! - normally about 25mpg and 500 mpp (miles per plugs)

In the riders seat
Well the worst we got out of our Kwacka S3 400 was down to 15mpg

Hardsnore Biker
My brother had a 380 and it was a crap bike. It ate plugs for breakfast and spat him off in the afternoon.
Not happy with that he then got an kwaka H2 750 which I spent many hours on in the shed. It didn't eat plugs but spat him off even quicker than the 380.
Rest In Peace
I had a GT380 back in the day , it was falling apart then , but it was a great bike , a mate had an immaculate one but his couldnt get out of its own way where as my abused one was reasonably fast for its time, certainly way faster than Hondas dreadfull CB360. but it was a bit slower than the RD350 . I sold it an got a GT750 , good bike but not much quicker point to point than the old 380 in real terms , less ground clearance , heavier.
Always had a soft spot for 380's , the 6 speed box was something back then as well. Probably be horrified by one these days though.

Too old to die
That is the trouble with nostalgia.
I had a spin on a T250 a couple of months back, and could not believe how strange and uncomfortable it was.
Perhaps my old T350 was made by a different factory! I mean - my body has not changed, has it?
The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.
Night rider
Last time I rode one it felt just weird for the first few minutes. The seating position was just too far forward, and the pegs were neither far enough back to be sporty, nor far enough forward to cruise.
After a while though it all came back, and I just let the bike flow. It still scraped the stand on every corner, and wallowed like a beached whale, but did everything I asked of it. For a 30 year old bike it was still OK for what it was designed for.
Time to ride
Rest In Peace
Mmmm sometimes memories are best left alone
