16/05/10, sorry, blog was not maintained for some time, GTS was finally completed, overall I'm pleased, the engine is not that vivid as the 900 desmo but the torque is quite impressive perfect for a tourer. Things still to be done, head lamp is not original I used a new classic H4, seat cover is a bit scruffy but will do the job.
