My new motorbike: An Enfield

Lovely! A twin may be in my future; the new 650 looks just the ticket.

Three of a different kind or the Enfield in between as the latest in the group.

Three of a kind, in my view. Lovely.

Nice stable there.

Today on the road the Enfield met a real 40 years old oldie. It's owner also has 2 smaller sisters of him, the GT250 and 380. I like all 3.



Annual play of colors in May.

That was the Triton, Wisedrum? A great bike.

[Wisedrum]

No, don't think so.
Its name is Suzuki GT500 with a 2 stroke engine.
This bike has run over 114.000km with a motor revision at 85.000km. It's only in the same hands ever since it was first bought.

The Triton was a 2-stroke 500 cc Suzuki. As I recall forum member Tezza owns one. But maybe it preceded the GT500. In any event that Suzuki 500cc 2-stroke motor was a beauty.

I think the name "Triton" was for the US version.

[Wisedrum]

In Germany the preceder of the GT500 was simply called T500 by Suzuki in the late sixties

A mixture of Triumph and Norton was called Triton. It had the Triumph's Bonneville engine and a Norton featherbed frame.
It looks like this:
