I think you'll struggle there. Neither of those bikes were known for high volume sales. I dont think I've ever seen a GTS on the road, and I doubt I've seen more than a handfull of any bimotas, never mind a specific model.

Saturday 28th Jan.

Latest update. Had a busy day today. Following the problems I had with the front bearings being a little tight I had another go with them, I put the spindle in and gave it a tap and this seemed to to the trick. The front wheel would now spin freely. This gave me to confidence to fit the rear bearin...

Well on the bright side, I just won an auction for a fuel tank. got it for the grand sum of 99p + £12p+p. Its got a dent & a scrape on the side, but i'm sure the paintshop can remedy that. :D

Owdamers yzf750r

Heres my 1994 YZF750. It was stood in the yard hardly used for the last 3 or 4 years. Got it running again earlier this year, Built a shed to keep it in. Got a long list of jobs to do to restore it to its former glory. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/owdamer/IMG_5995.jpg Bike minus lower fairi...
