suspension. Boy did Yamaha blow it when they dropped that ball. IMHO, Yamaha didn't "drop the ball" unless you'd agree that they simply brought the bike out too soon. I don't believe the sport/touring riding public was quite ready for a $14-15000 bike with such a radical look to it, not to mention radical suspension. I believe that if the bike had been brought out later in the 90s, it would have sold better.
OTOH, perhaps there are only a few of us in the world who could/can appreciate it for what it was and is and continues to be! Regards, Henry S. Winokur 94 GTS1000, R1100RT-P, AMA, MRF, Nationally Certified Riding Instructor Columbia, MD Ride for Kids Task Force West Bethesda, MD USA
