It's a replacement for the FJ not for the GTS. GTS replacement would be
the GTSR1300 with Yamaha's new aluminum casting technology that reduces
weight by 30% of castings. Think about our frame and swingarms being 30%
lighter, that would be a 500lb GTS with a shaft, 125+hp and 80+ftlbs of
torque. Now that would be a replacement for the GTS. Oops make that the
GTSR1300A with abs.

I did find it interesting that they said the FJR was in the works before
the R1, and that the fairing is a problem for those 6' and taller (same
issue on the ST11 wonder about the ST13).
