Had Suzuki been playing the horsepower-race game, the 1975 250 might have made more power than the first 1969/70 315cc twins, and a really strong 250 might have threatened the transmission. Suzuki, however, has steadily backed down the horsepower from year to year, relying on the six-speed transmission to make the most of what is available.

The Suzuki GT250, also known as the Suzuki Hustler in the US is a 247 cc (15.1 cu in), two-stroke, twin-cylinder motorcycle produced by the Japanese Suzuki company between 1971 and 1981. The model was developed from the earlier T250, and was one of the best selling motorcycles in its class.

The Suzuki GT250 was an evolution of the T250 Hustler. In Japan there was initially a GT250 model which was fundamentaly unchanged from the T250. When the GT250 was released to the world it had been modernized with a disc brake at the front and with a new Ram Air cylinder head.

Suzuki GT250 was an upgraded version of the T250. In fact, the very first models (released in Japan) were exactly the same bike, only the model name was different.

The Suzuki GT 250 has 26.00 HP (19.0 kW) @ 7500 RPM. How fast is a Suzuki GT 250? The Suzuki GT 250 top speed is 149.0 km/h (92.6 mph). How many gears does a Suzuki GT 250 has? The Suzuki GT 250 has 6 gears.

Suzuki's 'ton-up 2-stroke', the GT250X7, was hailed on its introduction in mid-1978 for its startling acceleration and mid-rpm pulling power. But would its performance figures hold up after, say, a full year's riding? And how does it rate for ease of servicing? Road Bike tested two X7s to find out.
