    GTS 1000 Yamaha

    Anyone ever own or ride one? It has a front swing arm design. I'm curious on how it handles. This one has been for sale on craigslist for a while. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/1329836097.html

              Cheesy and a bit corny too...good for a laff or 2...I've always wanted one of these but never had the opp. to buy or even ride one...I heard they were a bit top heavy...but the single side suspension is still ahead of its time...here a link to a forum...I think it is a Euro group but has US members too... they were only made 2 model years here inthe US

                  How were they for weight,

                  with that massive front end?? It looks kinda heavy to steer. And I really think that front fender is cheezy looking!! It looks like a lot of road debris would be flung right into the engine area. No thanks.
