I'd have thought this was more your style GC...fitted with a sidecar. ;D

I quite like the way those two bikes use the hub centre steering and wacky front swing arm as a feature, whereas previous efforts have, to an extent, been masked with bodywork that hid those features (think Kawasaki GTS). I love the way that the bikes appear to be an engine with some wheels hanging off each end.

Spot on Graham.  Bikers are a surprisingly conservative lot, slow to adopt innovation and boringly brand addicted.  When something new is available I want to see it. 

What is a bike if its not an engine with a wheel at each end and an idiot on top ?

Ahem Yamaha not Kawasaki for the funny front end, methinks?

Yamaha GTS not Kawasaki GTR.

Dave Lindsel,he of the extremely fast Royal Enfield Bullets.
Put a Yam FZR 750 motor into a GTS chassis and raced that in the Isle of Man.
