Stretching the old memory. ABS was standard in the US but I seem to
remember being told by the YAMAHA guy at the demo rides in Charlotte
that it was optional in some countries. Yeah, I got to demo a GTS.
Since I was in grad school at the time, it only cost about twice my
gross income. Fell in love with the bike, only took 6 years to acquire
one. The only other ABS bikes at the time ('93) were a few models of
BMW, where I think it was also optional.

Subject: US ABS Fiasco?
In a couple of messages on the list I have seen reference to the 'US
ABS fiasco'. What's that all about chaps? I don't recall the GTS
getting bad press in the UK at all for the ABS, (just the cost of
purchase). None of the UK based people or dealers I have spoken with
has mentioned it as a problem either.
Could you guys over the water expand on what the problem was/is. Also
have any non US based riders had problems. I noticed in a UK dealer on
the web had a Non ABS equipped GTS for sale, did Yamaha remove the ABS
at some stage?
