Actually my old GT380 was one sweet machine and I really liked her. At the time part of my commute to work was over a long stretch of gravel farm roads as well as tarseal and the GT380 handled it all just fine. She was much lighter than the Suzuki GSX500E that was the last big bike I owned and I think I'd still own her now if it hadn't been for a stupid learner driver pulling out from a stop sign in front of me.
Poor old bike ended up with a mashed front wheel and bent forks and I got my left knee torn open. There is something very sobering about seeing your own kneecap looking back at you and I remember being amazed at how white it was.
Once I was healed and walking again I rebuilt my GT380 with a pair of Honda forks I had as well as a Honda wheel with a twin leading shoe drum brake. Truth be told I preferred that Honda brake over the original GT380 disc brake and while the Honda forks weren't quite as good as the original Suzuki forks they were adequate and did the job.
Unfortunately after the accident my poor old GT380 had been on her side screaming her heart out at full throttle for some minutes before somebody thought to turn off the ignition key which did the engine no good at all. One day while riding her home a small end bearing started to knock and the engine started to vibrate something awful. I managed to nurse her home, but after I switched off the ignition she never ran again. (sniff)
Edit:
My son got a 1971 Honda cb 100 from his grandpa, ended up breaking the kick starter shaft on it. I swapped the engine out with a lifan 200cc. Made it a street legal street tracker.
CCC, those Hondas were always bad for that. When I was repairing motorcycles for a living I lost track of how many Honda kickstarter shafts I had to replace on customers' bikes.
