I was afraid you were going to say that. Why O why did they make the GTS a tank.

Just the rear wing as far as I know. And GRP A would have the light in rear bar and GTS dont because the light is garnish fed.

Ahhhh ok, i was thinking the side skirts but on closer inspection they are the same. Maybe as you said, it's the rear boot wing and also maybe the VN SS Group A scoop that makes them differ.

I reckon the GTS looks a bit more slick though. Simple yet effective. I'm not a fan of those Group A rear wings. They are a bit much.

Yeah, i think the slick look has to do with the VP base rather then the VN base. Because everyone knows VP's are slicker then VN's. But its good they have a different wing and budge, we woudn't want to confuse them.

Hahahahaha i hear that!! The front end due to the indicators on the sides of the headlights and the rear ends make the VP's look so much nicer!!

Coz they had to sell them to 50yo company directors who like luxury.

I want power with 4 bolt mains, I want black motor. I got it, but also got the baggage.

I installed the new coil, first start up was good, idled noticeably better, and revved much much smoother and crisper. Turned her off. Now for the 2nd start...and it cranked for ages once again. So it did NOT solve my starting issue. Hmmm, I dunno now, maybe after the first start the fuel pressure is up too high and cant start on the 2nd start? Fuel pressure regulator? ECU? Hall Effect Sensor?
