Oil filter adapter...

Since this started out about spin on oil filters. I will mention that the GTS comes with a spin on filter.

That was like saying "Go get another!". Which I did. A GTS 1000. 93. Now I need a bigger shop.

Nice. My mate who lives across the road has had a red '93 GTS since new, only 20 were sold in Australia. He has had some ABS issues, the fuel injection is nice, is a little heavy to ride I think compared to the FJ. The engine is a slighltly detuned FZR1000 unit, so it still has plenty of get up and go, thats for sure.

I was at Vintage Motorcylces last weekend and they had 2 for sale (imports I would imagine, that's what they do). I've always had a strange fascination for them, perhaps their rarity here accounts for much of that desireablility, who knows.
Anyway, the lesser of the two, was $14,000, in good condition with modest mileage. I didn't like it that much.
They also sold the Bimota to the guy that had just bought one and was on here recently.

Isnt that crazy?? They sold new for $22000.00, and Neville picked his up for just on $20000.00. Normal private sale price listings I think are around the 5-6 thousand mark, but hey, if someone will pay 14 thou...........

 I picked mine up in December. I kept an eye on the ad for a long time. Just waited patiently til I knew the guy was sick of waiting. He wanted $6500, but I got it all for $5000. It is originally from Texas. The rear shock is pooched, however the seller threw in a spare. It came with the factory Krauser bags, spare catalytic converter, tail pipe, three mirrors ,front fender, coils, spare damaged fairing etc. It needs chain , sprockets and tires. I took it home, filled up the tank, hooked up the battery tender and covered it up in the garage. I will post some pics when it is safe to take it out of the garage. I also have a very cool almost mint FZR 1000 which has the same motor, but puts out 135 hp to the GTS's 100. I won't do anything with it until a few other projects are taken care of. Maybe a motor swap?
