FMW Motorcycles\u00a0<\/span><\/a>based in Italy had built a custom based on the 1993 Yamaha GTS 1000 christened as \u201cItalian Resilience<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Replaced by FJR 1300,\u00a0the sports tourer<\/span> GTS 1000 made cool 103hp that had an enormous power surge from 103 hp to 141 hp. Sensational.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Italian Resilience<\/span><\/h2>\n

The good part is you won\u2019t be able to see any aspects of GTS 1000 as it entirely transforms into a new bike. Instead, what you see is a sleek and stylish custom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red and Black are two colours that adorn the naked custom with Black being more dominant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inspired by the GTS 1000, Italian Resilience has a steering knuckle that is a connection point between the tie rod and wheel. Painted in Red, the FMW team has made a lot of changes in the steering knuckle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bimota also uses steering knuckle in\u00a0<\/span>Tesi H2<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As far as components are concerned, FMW Motorcycles has made in-house. Plus, they took a few other elements from the original bike.<\/span><\/p>\n

They have brought components from other bikes like from Yamaha YZF-R6.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It also gets the single swing arm at the rear from the Honda VFR 800 and the Buell-Cyclone-Showa shock absorber.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Components from Honda NSR and VFR too came in. Essentially, to convert the sports tourer into livery like Italian Resilience, they had developed the wheels in-house.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is no change in the engine brought from GTS 1000 as it still delivers 103 hp at 9,000 rpm.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

FMW team had made multiple other components from aluminium. Fuel injection gets substituted with a carburettor that comes from old 1987 Yamaha FZR 1000, and they, therefore, replaced the fuel tank with some other component.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surprisingly FMW Motorcycles doesn\u2019t talk about efforts and price. However, we felt they had put considerable efforts to build this custom.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LivingWithGravity<\/span>\u2019s Take<\/span><\/h2>\n

Changing perception from sports tourer to something like what FMW Motorcycles has built is difficult, and we understand that it takes a lot of efforts and FMW Motorcycles has done it.<\/span><\/p>\n
