1972 Suzuki GT750J Bikes and Spares Package SOLD

I have for sale a package of three lots, which can be bought all together, or singly.

The three lots are:

1) A UK registered (K reg) 1972 bike in Candy Lavender in totally original and superb un-restored condition.

2) A US import 1972 bike in Candy Lavender for restoration, which is complete except for indicators, mirrors and 2 x exhaust tips, and is in great condition fitted with all of it's original rare 'J' parts for full restoration.

3) A collection of spares consist of most of the rare 'J' bits and pieces, with a lot of New-Old-Stock (NOS) parts, and some superb re-furbished parts, along with some rare original bits and pieces. See list below, but note that the spares are only for sale along with one or both of the bikes.... they will not be sold separately or as a lot at this stage, unless both bikes are sold and nobody has bought the spares... unlikely!

Here's a bit more detail.

Bike 1 - 1972 GT750J in Candy Lavender in totally original and superb un-restored condition.
This bike has it's original paint, which is in remarkable condition, but does have some marks and a couple of scratches. I can't find any evidence that this bike has ever been dropped, and all the chrome-work looks very good with some light scratches from polishing. A right hand exhaust has a small scrape just under the footpeg which looks like it rubbed against a rock, and there are a couple of other small dinks. The frame is in it's original black paint with no rusting.

The wheels are both original with no rust on the rims or spokes. The rear shocks, rear mudguard and front mudguard are in very good shape with no rust.

The bike has all of the original 'J' parts, including the cast-logo generator cover and embossed logo clutch cover. The indicators are also original and not repros, as is everything else as far as I can tell. Even the seat cover looks like factory, although it does have a small nick in it. The bike is currently fitted with a spare seat, as I wanted to preserve the original, and the spare all original except for the cover. Amongst the paperwork is the original owners manual in the original plastic pouch, and a factory workshop manual.

The instruments are in very good condition, with the odometer showing just under 22k miles.

I haven't used the bike on the road for a year or so now, but I do start it regularly and take it around the paddock to keep everything working properly. It starts up very easily, revs cleanly and ticks over smoothly.... well, as smoothly as a two stroke triple should! The brakes work very well, with the front being particularly powerful. All the lights work, as do the indicators, and the tyres are good. The bike should sail through it's MOT quite easily.

The bike has one issue that I can find. It can be a bit notchy to select first gear for the first time when cold. Once in, it's not a problem, and changes through the gears very well, and first can be easily re-selected. With the clutch lever pulled in, it is quiet, but let out, the clutch can sometimes chatter a little at very low tickover (when not fully warmed up)... it goes quiet as soon as revved.. I think that the clutch is just a bit sticky through lack of use, and it would be a simple job to pull it out, and either clean it up or replace it.

Whilst the bike is super-original, it could be fettled to make it look even better. As far as I can tell, it has all of it's original nuts, bolts and screws, with no 'witness' marks on any of the heads, A small number of these have some surface rust and would benefit from re-plating. The aluminium on the drums, forks and engine castings could all be polished as they are all a little dull, something that would cost nothing and be very rewarding to do. That's your winter jobs to do!

It's quite hard to explain the condition of an original bike. Restored bikes are so bling these days withy powder coated and two pack bits, and to me, remembering what they looked like when new, look so wrong. So don't expect mirror finish chrome or deep gloss paint, as it wasn't like that when new, and it now has a little patina as well!


Bike 2 – 1972 GT750J in Candy Lavender in original condition for restoration.
This bike is complete with the exception of the indicators, mirrors and two of the exhaust tips. The seat is a repro with a new cover, all from Bob-the-Seat. The seat does have it's original chrome trim. The bike has all the rare original 'J' parts, including the correct headlamp, front forks / drum brakes, horn, choke,, plastic chain guard and the exhausts, which will need some refurbishment. The wheels are original and not rusty.


Spares

Refurbished 'painted' set (in Candy Lavender) in perfect condition, never fitted.
The set includes:
Petrol tank with NOS filler cap (correct side clip) and water filler flap, with correct white stripes and NOS tank badges
Side panels with NOS badges
Headlamp bucket
Fork top covers
Radiator sides

Original 'painted' set (in Candy Jackal Blue) for restoration.
Complete except for radiator side pieces.

NOS Front mudguard with stays
NOS rear grabrail
Refurbished switch gear (both sides) like new
NOS speedometer
NOS tachometer
NOS instrument surround
NOS indicators with lenses

Original set of 4 exhausts with connectors in superb condition

2 spare sets of carburettors with throttle and choke cables.

2 x original clutch covers (with embossed Suzuki logo, correct for the 'J' model)

2 x original generator covers (with cast Suzuki logo, correct for the 'J' model)

Front and rear crash-bars (original Suzuki, as per the Police bikes).

Original radiator crash bar

Original rear light and bracket

Mirrors with embossed 'S' (reproduction I think)

Headlamp and surround (with flatter lower bit specific to the 'J')

A couple of front mudguards, rear wheel, levers, choke lever, lots of original Susuki fastners and a few other bits and pieces, mostly for refurbishment.

If you know the 'J' model well then you will also appreciate just how difficult most these parts are to find as NOS or just in good condition... some are just about impossible.

The spares package will not be sold separately, but will be offered along with one of the bikes.

How much?
I'm looking for £6750 for the good original bike, £3250 for the restoration bike and £2900 for the spares package complete. The spares package will not be sold separately, but will be offered along with one of the bikes.

I'm happy to negotiate and discount if you want all three packages. Do bear in mind that the first bike in this superb original condition would be around £10, 000 alone at a dealer, and the spares package would be over £4000 if bought as individual lots, and you would have to wait many years to find some of it.

If you want some time to sell off another bike / raise the cash then I'm happy to work with you, but would expect a good deposit.

This lot would make two stunning bikes, with a lot of spare parts left over, for very little additional outlay. My plans were to fettle the original bike to as good a condition as possible with a gentle sympathetic cosmetic renovation, and using that as the model, restore the other one to concourse condition. But things have got in the way of my plans... mainly, other plans!

Any questions, please ask. I'm happy to send more photos, check things in more detail, etc. Note that the photos are all of the good bike!! The project bikes looks similar, but it's tatty and doesn't run. The spares are, in the main, perfect versions of those you can see on the good bike. Really, photos don't tell the story, and if you are serious about buying this lot, you'll need to see it all to appreciate what's what.

I'm near Gloucester, an hour from Bristol, Birmingham and Cardiff, and two hours from Manchester and London.
