Man that is ugly, why would anyone do that.

To steal someone else's turn of phrase;
"That's uglier than a hat full of assholes"
"That's uglier than a hat full of assholes"
Notice the multiple calipers. Maybe more-aesthetically-pleasing w/a different cover or finish to the structural pieces? I would like to see a perforated girder for that major member. I wonder if it makes the VMax front-end 'dynamic issues' go-away?

well no matter what you think about it, it is different. Looks like a lot of hard work and design. I like the duel mounted brakes on same side but I would worry about it making too much heat on the rotor. I bet the brake set up on both sides would give some unreal brake power and need an ABS for it. Doing a stoppy would too easy lol.

Me neither, I browse a lot too in my free time. I've seen many a Vmax, but not that one. I would like to see a video of that mono fork in action.

That GTS does look nice. I wouldn't mind the fairing off the Max but that's about it for me.....
I wouldn't mind having one of these rair bikes in my garage:thumbs up:Id rather go forkless like the mid '90's GTS 1000 :clapping:

That forkless reminds me the custom v-max made by lazareth or the vyrus. Wondering if it could be more effective than double forks. Seeing it hasn't been used much so far I'd think it's not cost effective.

The Omega-framed GTS used the FZR1000 engine. They were priced at a premium and perhaps for that were not big sellers.

I knew I would run across that Vmax with the GTS style front end.

GTSs are pretty common here. I can buy a 30k miles one from 93 for 2000 euros... Its a pretty bike. I like this setup and if i had more time available it would be nice to do a project with that bike, mono fork and mono swingarm... using either VFR or Triumph gear...
I allways loved this custom Vmax...It still takes my breath away:thumbs up:

It used the first generation FZR1000 engine, same one I've owned for 24 yrs. Detuned a bit from FZR duty, but still comparable to your average gen 1 VMax. I think it was the most expensive Yamaha streetbike when they were made. You see a lot of 'Omega-style" frames w/o frame members under the rigid-mount stressed-frame-member engine now.
