There is no doubt that the Yamaha GTS 1000, also known as Omega for its curious chassis, was an innovation in the early 90s, and an excellent base for preparations.
When it was released, the Yamaha GTS 1000 drew attention for its advanced single-sided front suspension, with a steering axle linked to the revolutionary chassis.
The Yamaha Sport-Turismo also stood out for providing new technical solutions, such as the ABS braking system or electronic injection, a breakthrough in 1993.
With the passage of time, the Omega has remained an advanced model for its time, which although it did not reflect a commercial success, it has served as a quoted model for the base of preparations.
Not long ago we introduced you to the NH78 Night Hawk, a preparation by engineer Rodney Serra with angular and futuristic shapes based on the Yamaha Omega.
And on this occasion it is the Finnish trainer Aki Suokas who has dared to personalize a motorcycle with a marked character of its own, which is quite a challenge.
With the intention of giving it a Cafe Racer look but combining modern aspects, he replaced the rear swingarm and rear shock with the single-sided swingarm of a Honda VFR 800.
A lot of work has been done on the wheels, both 17 inches, with a rear section that can accommodate a 200/50 tire, and the original six-piston caliper is not renounced at the front.
The exhaust system comes from a Kawasaki Z 1000, while the fuel tank was modified from a 1984 Suzuki GSX1100.
The round headlamp with LED lighting set in a beautiful classic-style nose screen, the leather seat and the single-seat tail, fit perfectly into this preparation.
