Yamaha sold the GTS in the USA for only two years, but wearing a thirteen grand price tag, they weren't that popular. Shame though, since the bike was way ahead of it's time with a fuel-injected and retuned FZR1000 motor, ABS, and James Parker's wild RADD front end. The forkless front looked odd, but offered significant improvements in stability, turning, and braking over a conventional setup. The Barber museum has one, and even the Guggenheim displays one as part of the epic Art of the Motorcycle exhibit. But that's all for a ho-hum normal GTS. Sporting the rear end from a third-generation VFR, this GTS is truly the only one like it in the world. The rear end was re-engineered by a master machinist/mechanic when the bike was almost new (1995). Since then, the original owner has put tens of thousands of miles on this bike. Rear shock was replaced with a 3-way adjustable Ohlins with a remote reservoir and lowered a few years ago, introducing a faint headshake. All suspension & travel components were gone through and confirmed to be in good shape and well-adjusted. I purchased the bike from the original owner and restored the bike to the stock ride height with custom dog bones made with a former AMA Pro mechanic, restoring the bike's stability. All that's needed is minor tuning at this point, but I have other projects calling my attention. Formerly owned by the proprietor of the San Francisco Bay's largest Big-4 Japanese dealership and maintained by the shop. Has been a garage queen in my care; oil changed annually and fuel stabilized, bike otherwise maintained exclusively on a battery tender.
