Kettle Club Returns to Oakham Castle, Oakham Rutland

 

The Kettle Club, a motorcycle club dedicated to the 1970s Suzuki GT750, returned to Oakham Castle today, Friday 21 July 2023. The club last visited the castle in 2018.

These motorcycles were made famous by Britain's 1976 and 1977 world champion motorcycle racer Barry Sheene, who owned one and raced motorcycles for Suzuki with GT750 engines.

The Kettle Club was formed in 1980 by a group of GT750 enthusiasts, and today has over 500 members worldwide.

Barry Sheene was a household name in the 1970s, and his association with the Suzuki GT750 helped to make the motorcycle one of the most popular in the world. The Kettle Club is a great way to celebrate the history of the GT750, and it's a great opportunity to see some of these iconic motorcycles in person.
