The pithy ruminations from Fredrik Norlander on
<Re: New member> were:
=> Yes, a '97 GTS goes for about 75K SEK if you can find one. I doubt there
=> are more than 5-6 GTS's in the country though, and mine is NOT for sale...
=>
=> The way I heard it (this is only hearsay), the earlier models ('93 and '94)
=> were too expensive for most people to buy, so they started producing lessSame in the US. => costly versions without ABS. Since the bikes with ABS weigh about 14 pounds Nope. In the 'States, Yamaha simply stopped importing the GTS after '94. Big mistage. => more, the later/cheaper models are much faster...but other than that, I => don't think there are any differences. => => Oh, just one thing...I read that the earlier models had some kind of handle => you could pull out to make it easier to lift up the bike on the => centerstand...is that correct? (I don't have a handle on mine). I've never heard of that before. Some BMW models of similar years had a fold-out handle for just that purpose.
