Approx value on a 1974 Suzuki GT750?

[E31Shrew]

Have had the above bike for nigh on 15 years and wondered if any one can give me a rough idea on its current value? It has 55000 on the clock, great condition [not perfect] starts on the button and everything works as it should.
Exhausts are fine as is the LED gear position readout.
Did 29 miles last year so pretty pointless keeping it.
Thanks in advance

I could go £350 to help you out



I would ebay that , its going to fetch a tad more than when it was new , expecially if it has original pipes on it

[fxout]

Yup, have a look on E-BAY they are going for silly prices. From a price range of: £1500.00 for a good orginal condition one to over £5000.00 for a minter, Wow!

It's not what's it worth; it's more of what someone is willing to pay if they really want one.

there was a new and crated one there some while back , i think that was 12k

OK , i could go to £500 and pick it up at the weekend to get it out of your way .


I was so close to buying one in 1975 on a P.

It was either the kettle or a CB750 k2 in Blue Gold , my first ever " superbike ".

One things for sure , the old bikes truly taught you how to ride something that was moving around and flexing all the time

Thanks a bunch. Will follow ebay for a couple of weeks and see how it goes. Its not a minter but pretty good all the same. I just know i'll regret it when it goes but its taking up too much space and not getting used. 500 miles in 15 years !

Thats a shame , if it ends up not fetching a " lifechanging amount " I think you regret the sale in a few years .

I have owned my busa for 7 years from new now , i cant see me ever selling it

A good friend has a GPz900 , D reg with 7000 miles otc from new , truly showroom new it is.

He never rides it and he will not sell it to me .


Last year he sold his FS1e for £1600 that he had owned since new

just speaking with a couple of guys who follow such classics , they reckon you could be in for about 3k if its original

Is it a GT750L or GT750M?

There's quite a bit of difference in the value.

I had the later GT750B, with the black finish on the painted parts, excellent bike for it's time.

A 1972 GT750J, with the drum brake, fetched £7,500 last year.

I went looking for a good kettle a few years back. I saw one change hands on ebay for £10,000 I kid you not. It was a resto not a 'new in crate' bike and they are seriously becoming silly money.

Lovely bike, I would take it apart and store it in your loft for a few years

[Beemer-5]

If they are fetching really silly money, get a Kawasaki H1 500 instead. They haven't gone silly price yet.

Check out the 'bikes for sale' section on this site, a friend got a very good price and a quick sale on a 80's Suzuki using it recently.

I have just had it officially valued for you.
It's £600, so i'll round it up to £700, to be nice.
Bring it round now!

[Beemer-5]

ISH.

[E31Shrew]

Thnaks Beemer...All heart!

[Beemer-5]

Lovely bike, keep it.

[tight fart]

If it's a clean tidy runner £2500 upwards to £10k if mint.
(I've been looking for a A model for ages now)

For classic Japanese 2-strokes, the Kawasaki triples are better priced, probably partly due to reliabilty issues.
