Love two strokes! Baddest bike I have ever been on is a Kawasaki 750 Triple! Could've had it for $500 back in the early 80s too! Two strokes will never make a comeback though! Smog requirements killed them forever and now the GP circuit has done away with them but yeah, let's keep them alive with all the two-stroke enthusiasts out there!

Why didn't you drive this thing? I used to be the head mechanic in the biggest Suzuki shop in New Jersey. I had a 380, 550 and 750 at one time or another. All were 3 cylinder 2 strokes. They were the smoothest running bikes I ever had. They were like electric motors and without that crazy Kawasaki 2stroke power band that had nothing below 5k rpm and then everything all at once. The Suzukis had pretty straight-line power. They were the best bikes I ever rode.

Had one of those. Same year and 95% stock. Couldn’t get the front tire in the air when hitting 6000rpm no mater what. These stock were not very fast but very reliable. Brakes would hydroplane pretty easy and they would surge on the highway @ 60 mph. At 70-75 it smoothed right out. Problem is this when the national speed limit was 55 and cops were much more likely to write you a ticket. Wish I had it now with people running 75-85 the water buffalo would be right home.

first Street bike I ever owned, 78' water buffalo. had the intake and exhaust ports milled, 3 monster carbs and 3 in to 1 header. sounded like a big popcorn machine coming down the road. Around 120 hp, that bike was a beast. Never not even once did it break down and leave me stranded. 800 lb bike had no problem standing up and doing rolling burn outs. One fast and Nast bike, I'd love to find another one to restore. had a ferring on it when I bought it, blue and shiny just like the one in video and sounded almost the same. Nowadays I'm not much for sport bikes but I'd love to have another water buffalo

I had one of these back 'in the day' and it was my pride and joy until someone stole it. It was a stock 1976 model grey in colour. It was very quiet and turbine smooth but come on guys, bringing two strokes back from the dead? I remember how they used to pollute the atmosphere with their blue smoke. The GT750 wasn't a particularly good handling bike either. I remember the digital gear indicator and that was very useful. Nice memories but technology moves along very fast and a GT750 should be left in the days of the '70s. Modern motorcycles are far superior to anything built in those distant days. Thanks for the video.
