Rated by Bike magazine as among the 50 'Coolest Bikes of all Time', and winner of the 'Rare Cool' category, the hub centre-steered GTS1000 was unveiled to a disbelieving world back in 1993. 'Bold, daring, peerless, Yamaha's GTS1000 is the embodiment of unconventionality,' declared Britain's No.1 motorcycle magazine of a machine that also incorporated fuel injection and anti-lock brakes. It wasn't all new technology though, the engine being that of the FZR1000 EXUP, fitted with fuel injection and tuned for touring rather than outright top-end speed. Expensive to develop and priced accordingly, the GTS1000 sold in relatively small numbers and is both rare and highly sought after today.
This matching-numbers example is described by the vendor as in standard trim and running condition. A total of 76,421 kilometres (approximately 47,480 miles) is currently displayed on the odometer. The machine is offered with Netherlands registration papers.
