A Suzuki Italy special model. They also did a limited edition called
the Vallelunga based on the GT750, ten to full TR750 works spec. and a hundred less potent
look-alikes. Suzuki GB did a special based on the GT500, with rearsets, alloy wheels and
fairing which they dubbed the Formula 500 (details courtesy Don Leeson - great tank, GT750
drum brake, rear sets etc. Wish they sold these in Australia!
