We all know they should revamp and update the GTS back into circulation. Times have changed. People want a high-power, smooth ride, luggage space, sport, tour, sporty-tour, quick acceleration, stopping power, light, easy, stylish, respectable two-up ride, great gas mileage, safety-feature rich, great lighting, smooth handling bike.
We all know that the GTS served this purpose, now people are laying down nearly $23K+ for a BMW/Honda/Ducati tour bike...but come on...who want to ride a bus-bike to the local store, or to hop around town on errands for the HONEYDO list in a bike that needs its own reverse gear! If Yamaha would wake up and realize that they had the answer in 93-94, and improved it to compete with BMW/Honda/Ducati, electric windshield (very rider friendly) and a shaft drive (very reliable, quiet), HID lights, Optional riding lights, front/rear ABS, EFI, Options for new PIPES/CANS, GPS-LCD built in....Hell, Ill add one more cylinder for the fun of it, Inline 5, shave off 100+lbs, they would have a market killer....In metallic-eggplant purple (almost purple-black), A deep ocean blue-green, and of course Red - a nice Malbec. but here is the catch, they also need to shave it below $10K, that, that would be a bike that would fly off the show floor. List it for $9990.00 Sorry...I just had the most wonderful dream! THOR
