I think it was those sorts of bikes that led to a total re-think of the learner rider laws in time as that bike could eat most British 650 cc bikes that were still around from earlier years.

I agree with you there Bob. The Suzuki GT 250 would easily do 90+ mph, I was told that it was one of the fastest production 250's around at that time (late 1970's)
