Man, you're looking at chalk and cheese. I'd pick the GTS any day, but
depends what you want. The V-max will win a straight line drag race but
loses out in virtually every other measure of performance. I like bikes that
handle and the GTS does, very well. The V-max does not. I like to have
decent fairing protection and good brakes. The GTS happens to have
phenomenal brakes. Then there's looks. You gotta love the chrome/cruiser
look if you want a V-max. The GTS is original and high-tech looking and
always draws a crowd. The GTS is also already a semi-collectible, is
guaranteed to become a classic and good ones will always fetch a good
dollar.
Good luck,
Joe.

Subject: Would you buy another GTS?
A local Yamaha salesman here claims he can probably find me a gts maybe
still in the box.
I am trying to decide between a GTS and a VMAX. I love the look of both
bikes but like the looks and technologie of the GTS while the VMAX has a
little more hp.
I read this list but I dont see a huge pile of comments on how wonderful the
bike is compared to those of the Vmax list. Yes there are some.
Would you guys buy a different bike if you could do it all over again?
Also what was the last year for the GTS in north america?
Thanks in advance.
Allen
