I haz a bieks :D
Guy down the road is selling his GT550 for $1500, but I can't bloody find any info on it.
I've tried Kawasaki and Yamaha - but I was certain of Kawasaki, I have this incredible picture memory, you see.
Needs a new front tyre, missing airbox (he has, but it's old) and had a new gasket.
Thoughts?
P.s: I'm bored. Hello, world.
EDIT: It's not a 2stroke
Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

I understand it was part of the cookie-cut model era.

Was looking at a gt750 a while back, shaft driven tourer, based on the kz/z model.
Would be a neat project.

Thanks for the hotlink, I don't know why it was so hard to find a goddamn page on it. Kept getting suzuki gt550's, which is the more awesome variant.

That bike won Bike of the Year in (I think) an Aussie mag 2 Wheels maybe.
Forum whore
GT750's are a very nice bike as it happens BUT winning Bike of the year in a magazine usually just means that the local distributer had the most $$ in his advertising budget that year.

Probable true but I was just sayin'.
Actually I think they are pig ugly. (sorry to GT fans everywhere)
Born to be mild
Yes it did. 'Two Wheels' mag. All I remember is that it came with some sort of rack on the back and it had a rear light (either tail or brake) that was grey until lit up. Very nice looking bike and the review was basically that it was an unheralded bike with no real wow factor that nevertheless was the complete package and impressed the reviwers as a good honest bike. Sort of like the Speights 'Southern Man' of bikes.

The GT's, Z550 (G), and Z750(P) were both just shaft driven variants of the GPZ550/750, with tamer cams etc. Both were fucking good bikes.
Forum whore
I can vouch for that. Had a GT750 as my first big bike, needed shaft drive to deal with 45'000 mls a year work & pleasure. At the time they were very sought after by couriers.
Nice bike, easy to live with & look after. Limited ground clearance for keeping up with the first CBR600'sGood resistance to hedges.
It was written off by a guy wheelying a CBR1000F who lost it & used my parked bike as a hay bale.

Aye. Typical 2 valve Kawasaki. Bullet proof. 'Cept for looped out Hondas!
