The 1993 Yamaha GTS 1000, is a remarkable motorcycle, because of its front suspension without forks.
Some builders were bold enough, by trying a cafe racer project with this rare Yamaha.
And this video, is about one of the best Yamaha GTS Cafe Racer I have ever seen.
It was built in Finland, by Aki Suokas.
I am sure you will like it.
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my English.
Here are some interesting links about this Builder:

I am at a loss for words with this build. This is probably the only custom cafe racer on the planet using this platform. Unbelievable for a first build; absolutely stunning engineering and aesthetics! Every bike you have presented this year is a show stopper then you top it with the next one.

I will try to make myself understood. In the past, the motorcycles that they had in the past were customized. The spirit was to reform to run. Why not do the same with the bikes we have today? It's not classic. It is not conventional. It is not the pure. But the spirit, the essence, the soul, the purpose is the same. Reform to run, enjoy, feel alive. Dear Mr. Aki Soukas, I am impressed and excited. An excellent work, resolute, imaginative, professional. Another great video, Vito.

Sometimes it takes someone outside of the "Box" (like Aki Suokas) to show everyone inside the "Box" what is possible. You have to wonder if Aki`s father knew when Aki was exposed to motorcycles at 10 years old, would become a brilliant designer/builder when he grew up? Thank God for father's (lets not forget mothers to) and everyone else that exposes our youth around the world to the motorcycle environment. And as always, thank you Racer TV in presenting new boundaries that Aki was brave enough to venture into, raising the bar of possibility for those who dare.
