Did you know that the Suzuki GT750 was the first Japanese motorcycle that had a water-cooled engine? It had a 3-cylinder 2-stroke engine! Suzuki manufactured the model from 1971 all the way to 1977. The company first debuted it at the International Tokyo Motor Show in 1970, however. It became such a big hit among customers that it is now part of the 240 Landmarks of Japanese Technology list by the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan.
