Yamaha GTS1000

No doubt, they look really comfortable and just slap some luggage on there and you'd have yourself a real nice sport tourer for long hauls too. You can't find them too often for sale atleast around here.

My buddy and his dad have like 7 of that bike's predecessor, the RD. they've got 250's 350s and a hella wild built ass 400 throwin down something like 100hp or so right now. the son is building a new one that should surpass that even I think.

I love this thread. I am beginning to think about my next project and am about 90% settled on a 70s style Cafe (hot bikes of my Youth) I am ok with using a later bike as long as it can be made to appear from that era. I am leaning toward using a yamaha 650 upright twin (like most guys my age I love the british iron but can't justify the price or cutting up a classic.) I also have thought about using a wrinkled Hyosung or SV as a base but that limits creativity somewhat. Poular right now is cafing the CB 750 K Hondas. Not to Hijack the thread here but how about some suggestions? Would love to hear from some of you with a few silver highlights in your hair or some of you younger historians what would make a good base for a cafe
