In November 1976, Suzuki—which had primarily focused on two-stroke models and small motorcycles—introduced the “GS750,” its first full-fledged four-stroke engine model since 1955. The newly developed DOHC four-cylinder engine boasted performance nearly on par with its main rival, the Kawasaki Z750, while keeping the curb weight down to a lightweight 223 kg. Its overwhelming controllability and excellent overall balance quickly earned high praise worldwide. In 1978, coinciding with the launch of the higher-end GS1000 model, the bike received upgrades such as double front disc brakes, reinforced suspension, and revised carburetor settings. Continually refined and further matured over the years, production continued through 1980.

According to documents held by the current owner, the unit being offered here was exported to Germany as a new vehicle and was first registered in 1979. While the exterior, including the fuel tank and side covers, retains the characteristic silhouette of a genuine GS750, what really catches the eye is the front fairing. It is fitted with a Rickman-Henke front fairing, emblematic of the classic European café racer style. Inside the screen—invisible to the rider—a plate proudly bears the serial number “Rickman-Henke MK II / III / V” above the headlight.
With the installation of this elegantly styled fairing, the cockpit has been fitted with clip-on handlebars, while a rearset kit manufactured by Swedish company Raask has been installed at the foot controls. The motorcycle features modifications that can truly be described as the quintessential custom style admired by European enthusiasts of the era. On the other hand, the exhaust system has intentionally remained the original GS750 factory unit.

Currently, the bike is not registered in Japan, and maintenance of various components will be required to return it to the road, but the engine has already been confirmed to start.
