Suzuki GT750 vs Kawasaki KH500 – Two-Stroke Titans
The 1970s gave us some incredible two-stroke motorcycles, and few comparisons spark more debate than the Suzuki GT750 and the Kawasaki KH500.
The Suzuki GT750 became famous as the "Kettle" thanks to its liquid-cooled engine, a feature that was years ahead of many competitors. Smooth, comfortable and capable of covering long distances, it offered a unique blend of performance and practicality.
The Kawasaki KH500 took a different approach. Lighter, sharper and carrying the wild reputation of Kawasaki's triple-cylinder two-strokes, it delivered an exciting riding experience that still attracts enthusiasts today.
The GT750 was often seen as the refined choice, while the KH500 developed a reputation for raw performance and thrilling acceleration.
Both are icons of the two-stroke era and both remain highly sought after by collectors.
If you could add just one to your collection, would it be the Suzuki GT750 or the Kawasaki KH500?
