The Yamaha GTS 1000 was a sport-touring motorcycle made by Yamaha in 1993. It was sold in the American market until 1994 and in other markets until 1999. The machine was notable for its front suspension system, which was designed by James Parker.
The bike also featured advanced technology compared to other motorcycles at the time, such as Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), a catalytic converter, six-piston front calipers, OCC (Omega Chassis Concept), a single-sided front suspension system, and Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
In 1993, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha GTS 1000 ABS, a sport-touring machine identical to the standard model but with additional safety equipment such as an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
The bike's appearance was characterized by standard features, such as a full fairing, a single headlight, a medium-sized windscreen, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, and three-spoke aluminum wheels.
The 1993 Yamaha GTS 1000 ABS packed the same 1,002cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine as its non-ABS sister, managed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, boasting 102 hp with maximum strength at 9,000 rpm and 106 Nm (78 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
The bike's power was teamed by a 330 mm disc with a six-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 282 mm disc tied to a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering excellent braking performance.
