Hi from the UK
#6
The Suzuki GT750 was equipped with a water cooled 3 cylinder 2 stroke engine.
Water cooling was fairly rare at the time - hence "Water Buffalo".
I had one for 5 years and over 60K as a daily commuter and touring bike. It was a great bike for its time and much more reliable than my previous BSA's - Lightning Rocket and Rocket 3.

Water Buffalo. Did it have the same nickname in the UK?
Welcome to the site.

Interesting ... made me look this up. Apparently "Water Buffalo" in the US and "Kettle" in the UK. Both have me Huh
