I own a GTS 1000, Yamaha based it on the 1000 EXUP engine with different
cams and a CAT after the O2 sensor. It has only one injector/cylinder and
in stock tune makes ~100 hp. some crazy germans have found a way to pump 
the FI up to keep up with their desire for power. If you find a totaled
GTS1000, the FI would be cheap, and you could have ABS for free, welllll,
installation/fabrication cost for adapting it to your favorite toy. The 
ECM is from a major asian company, and some of the import cage turbo nuts
may be able to tweek it, but thats down the list , for me.
