GTS 1000.


When Yamaha unleashed this this thing back in '93, not many people could wrap their head around it. EFI, ABS, and a catalytic converter on a motorcycle!? The RADD front end topped off the confusion.


I met a dude a few years ago at mid-ohio vintage days that has put over 100,000 miles on two of these things.

  1. I own the Baby Sister to the GTS, Italjet Formula 50 AC, also new that same year, also with real hub steering and also a headturner, atleast after I got my hands on it..
