Suzuki GT380J Sebring (1972)

Image


Suzuki's GT-380J is the smallest of their new range of three-cylinder touring bikes for 1972. The engineering philosophy behind this series is proclaimed by the GT (Gran Tourismo) designation. As conceived by the Italian car makers, a GT vehicle summons a certain state of mind on the road: a state of mind that depends largely upon the operator's assurance of being in control. Beyond that aura of physical extension lie the aspects of aesthetic appeal, both to the owner and bystanders, and a lot of creature comfort for the owner and his favorite passenger.
