Used Buyer Review

The GT750 is one of those bikes that rewards patience and punishes neglect. Water Buffalo nicknames aside, this two-stroke triple is genuinely special — that liquid-cooled engine pulls smoothly across the rev range in a way air-cooled two-strokes simply can't match. Find a good one and you've got something that genuinely turns heads at any classic show while still being rideable on modern roads. Here's the honest truth though: most survivors are rough. Inspect the water pump seals obsessively — they fail and cook the engine. Check the exhaust expansion chambers for rot and dents because quality replacements cost serious money. The original Mikuni carbs need to be perfectly synced or it'll run like a dog. Budget for a full carb rebuild regardless of what the seller tells you. Parts availability has actually improved through specialist suppliers, but you're not buying this for convenience. You're buying it because nothing else sounds or feels quite like 750cc of two-stroke triple burbling through a vintage exhaust.
