    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What's a T?

I forget.

Scanning craigslist I saw a 82 750T

But I don't remember what makes it a T.

It's not a shaftie, and it looks a lot like an L but toned down a bit.

I think it's Suzuki's attempt at making a British influenced bike. They have a Triumph look to me, especially the 550T.
 
It was sort of a "commuter" bike. Smaller tank, single front disc, fewer farkles, mostly to keep the weight down. Also had slightly taller drive ratio (usually one or two fewer teeth on the rear sprocket) to help with fuel mileage for commuting. Same engine, same suspension, just as capable as any other GS, just filling a different niche.

.
 
For some reason they only have a single disk on the front brake for the 450T, 550T and 750T. Oddly they did not make a 650. Nice styling on the 750' it is on my to buy and restore list.
 
T rhymes with cheap.
It's just like a standard GS but toned down a bit as you said.
I had a GS550T and the only problem I had with it was the small gas tank, needed to refuel every 90 miles. That got annoying.

There's one 2,500 miles away from you, 90 miles south of Columbus OH. Looks pretty, I think. I like the red and black.

My old 550T was a wonderful bike. Like a cross between an L and E model. Not a stripper and it had a disc rear brake.
 
This 750T in Ohio is a nice bike ... looks well looked after. Bit pricey but if it has had everything taken care of it may be worth it as you won't be working on it or pouring money in to repairs/upgrades. And thanks Kerrfunk - I will wait for once closer to home and besides at the moment I need to sell at least one or maybe two before I got for another "new to me" bike to work on. The paint on this one looks great, almost too good to be original?

And I found a GS650T ... wow ... Suzuki was quite diverse in the day ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rawlings-G...706993?hash=item4d6f1dd1b1:g:P-0AAOSwBwBandon

Personally, I think the '83 750T is the best looking GS of them all. Absolutely LOVE mine...
 
The GS750T Rules! Hahahahaha!
