GT 380 VIDEO

stock pipes have the best sound a kind of muffled pop instead of a pop pop pop

[feedoggie]

I prefer the sound of the stock pipes.

[gunmank]

超綺麗なサンパチですね！

ノーマルマフラー音も聞いてみたい。



[mrsqonk]

It's applauding itself....

[SovereignFreeman]

I had one of these when I was 16, they have 'interesting' handling. They can suffer the occasional heat seize which again, can be 'interesting'. Best to premix instead of using the oil tank as with all 2-strokes. Had some great fun on it!

Overall rating? 5/10 in reality, but 8/10 because I'm slightly biased.

[Scootertuner1000]

@SovereignFreeman I have heard that repeatedly about 2 stroke, the pre-mix thing, for as long as I have been riding, which is almost 40 years. I have never known anyone's bike to seize because the oil pump went out. I think it's few and far between and might even be a bit of an old wives tale. I have known people to mess their bikes up because they got the mix ratio wrong though. Once you get used to the handling it's fine, there are no surprises, just a bit soft that's all.

[SovereignFreeman]

@Scootertuner1000 I can't recall if it was me forgetting fill the tank or whether the pipes clogged

, but I entertained two Policemen on foot patrol one day haha. *screeeeeeeeech* Aged 16 on that? You can imagine the rest.

[Scootertuner1000]

@SovereignFreeman hahaha, usually it's that people forgot to fill the tank.

[chriskeenan1]

Ah, when bikes were bikes.

[tgrman1]

[clubsport911]

[lilbartman1978]

I have a totally stock 72 i just got going its an awesome ride i just need rear turn signals

[AnoziraNoscut]

First bike I ever bought. Got a '74 in '85 for $350 USD from the original owner. It had 124,021 miles on it and I put another 5,000 on it before I killed it in Az. The speedo went to 145 mph and that was when I shifted into 6th at 3300 rpm. I have never been more scared.

[MrGetonyourbike]

lovely! wish it was on my drive ready to take out for a spin I love em to bits and the gt250s

They even sound nice with standard pipes

[MrGetonyourbike]

lovely! wish it was on my drive ready to take out for a spin I love em to bits and the gt250s

[goff8128]

I had a 1975 one of these, not a good bike really. I use to get fed up with being burnt up by Yamaha RD 400's

[Scootertuner1000]

@goff8128 What did you do, look for GT380 videos to post this on? What is wrong with you?

[ruzphi]

Very nice, how many re builds ?. Standard shocks, bit suprised about that. I always wanted one back in the 70s ,but couldnt afford it. Thanks for the up load

[WELLBRAN]

These old 2 strokes sound like they want to unleash some venom on the road snapping and crackling urging someone to twist that throttle

[byelasmert]

lovely bike. Always sounded best with 3 into 1 piper

[weldon0m]

i had one of these too back in the eighties...remember replacing one piston and all 3 sets of rings(she used to foul the plugs and smoke alot up to then so...wow after that what a difference..no fouling so easy to start,not to much smoke,more power,and just a sweet machine....wish i kept her...think i traded her for a car?...im a dumb ass for doing it...ah well maybe ill find another one -one day?

[saopaulo72]

Very cool, I personally prefer 3 into 4 pipes but bike is beautiful.

[NAMTRIP]

I had a friend,Joe Allen Prevatt (RIP) who had one of these during High School,and he rode it to school,it was silver,a pretty decent bike,we would have a Joint rolling contest before 1st period in RG upstairs apartment,and go to class baked,almost every morning,GOOD OLE DAYS!!!!!!

[Oilyrag1963]

Gorgeous bike!

[winterlounge]

Nice growl

[KnockoffNigeI]

[leatherwiz]

This bike was a work of art:)

[teamfab]

[adelski68]

[tetsubaka8888]

スガヤのチャンバー？

[laakman]

You have that thing running SWEET.

[teamfab]

I had a GT550 many moons ago. I put a set of Allspeeds on her but the ground clearance suffered, i didnt give a shit as it sounded suuuuppperrrrbbb..

[senoo1171]

重くてあまり速くはなかったけど、気に入って乗っていました。

[TombRaiderBikerBoy]

Great,had three of these.Wasn't the quickest bike around and didn't handle too good either,but boy did it look and sound the business!!!

[terence20001]

They was awsome in there day and still are. Great power band's on these Ram air G.T's

[THEBREEZED]

absolutly fantastic i rode one of them in 1979 from john-o-groats to lands end  absolutly great bike

[kolbpilot]

I never saw any Suzuki triple in the '70's tricked out. They were all (and there were quite a few of 'em) stock. Those stain. stl. pipes give the bike a whole new look. I like it.

[kneewall49]

Would be interested to know what difference the expansion pipes made to the ride performance, certainly sounds like a multi two stroke!

[ChazEverest]

How did you replace the speedomter lenses? My GT380 is about the same condition, except I have severely yellowed lenses on my speedo and tach.

[craig380]

I got my GT380 speedo & tach lenses restored using Solvol Autosol chrome polish, just put a little spot on a clean rag and rub in a circular motion.

Then wipe off, and use a conventional car polish to make 'em shiny. 5 minutes per lens will make a big difference.

[ChazEverest]

Craig I simply replaced them with plexiglass.

[cashman156]

What a beautiful machine you have here, thanks for letting us see and hear it !
