I bought a lift. I can't stand bending over, or kneeling anymore, so I treated myself to a lift.
It's Harbor Freight Air powered hydraulic lift. Heres a couple of pictures. One with the GTS on it and another all by itself.
You can read my little review @ www.thestraycat.net/farkles.htm

 

how much did it cost

 

How about a pic of the Yamahaha from the other side so we can see the, um, the whatamacallit, oh. the front swingarm? How do you like the front suspension/steering setup?

 

Rdsii64,
It was $379. Cheap compared to some of the "professional" lifts out there. Like less then half the price.

Pacojoseph,
How's this?

 

I like the looks of the Yam'ie, is it quicker than the CBR

 

It's a pretty fast bike. It cruises at 80-90 very smoothly. Almost too smooth..... The whole package is great. The suspension gear box, engine and chassis is way ahead of it's time. This bike is a 1994! EFI, ABS, Catalytic converter.... very cool.
Is faster? I would say it's about the same, but I really like the way they both ride. Very different, but both are fun. Long trips, the nod goes to the GTS. Short trips and commuting, I take the CBR.
I'm looking for a Transalp for some adventure touring. The bike trifecta!

 

I think she is a dam good looking bike!!! We can all dream I suppose!!!

 

The GTS frame is a Nico Bakker design if you look it up on the net
