Is that true of the '93's as well? ///

Doug Welcome Since no one else mentioned it, I will. If you do not flush out the brake fluid with new fluid, including activating the ABS test cycle, at least once a year there is a good chance your hydraulic control unit will die. Check the archives, much discussion on the subject.

I've just joined your group after buying a 96 Red GTS. I live in a village called Freckleton on the Fylde coast in north west England, between Preston and Blackpool. The bike is pretty standard except for the Corbin King and Queen seat and a full set of Kappa touring luggage, and has 23000 miles on the clock. The bike did have an alarm fitted but the clowns at the dealers lost the remote to disarm it. Only solution was to remove it completely, got them to reduce the price accordingly though. I fancied one when they first came out in the UK, until I saw the price that is, about �10000 without any accessories as I recall. Guess that's why they didn't sell many over here. Did a lot of research on the bike and so far I haven't found anybody with a really bad word to say about the bike. With all you experts on the list is there anything specific I should beware of or keep an eye on? Is there any kind of Achilles heel on the bike? (i.e. Honda VF's and their chocolate cam shafts). Done about 200 miles on it so far and am quite impressed. It joins the stable of a 1979 GS1000S, which I can now spend a bit of time on restoring, and a 1988 GS850GG with Squire sidecar on. Intended going on a run today to a Classic bike show at Harrogate in Yorkshire, however the 80 to 90 mph winds and trees falling down with the horizontal rain and sleet put me off that idea, I'm not that keen to try out the ABS. Cheers, Doug Long
