Trying to determine whether (as I suspect) it was the Suzuki GT750 or
whether they made some water-cooled single before that (as someone
suggested to me recently).
A lot of Googling throws up nothing before the Kettle. I did discover
some old air-cooled Suzuki with a hydraulic rear drum brake, though :-/
I was just wondering if any of the many makers that disappeared in the
1950s and 1960s made anything, but have drawn a blank. GT750 it is,
then?

Try Googling before asking a damn silly question.

Bridgestone didn't have any watercooled road models, AFAIR. Hmm, they
had a watercooled 50 cc racer in '66 thobut:

The top answer is pretty coherent. The rest is the usual bunch of
ignorami: the sort who declare the the GPZ900R was the first
water-cooled Japanese four.
Hm. I shall keep hunting. European bke, no problem: Japanese - still
looks like the Kettle.

Only earlier one I've found is the Yamaha GL750 ... but it didn't go
into production, so shouldn't count.
