Many bespoke parts for the Suzuki GT 250 Santoku
Many parts of the Suzuki GT 250 Santoku have been made to measure, some of which are untreated aluminum, such as the stylish rearset.

And the name fits perfectly, because the Suzuki GT 250 Santoku connects:
a classic street racer
with an individual custom bike and
Keeps alive our memories of a legendary two-stroke era.
