Yamaha GTS 1000 Project Rhodium Omega by The JSK Moto Co

.  

Samuel Kao of the JSK Moto Co in California, was approached in 2015 by James Chen, a successful businessman, with the idea to customize a 1993 Yamaha GTS 1000 which came with a hub-steered system. 

James said, “Wish I could give this motorcycle a re-appearance in line with the 21st century so a new generation of young people can open their imagination the same way it did when introduced on 1993”.

Working with the lines of the motorcycle it was decided that the overall design of Project Rhodium Omega is pentagonal. No matter the seat, air intake, or different viewing angles, each panel has influence from the pentagon.

Why name it Rhodium Omega? The word Rhodium is the name of an metallic element that is rare, highly resistant to corrosion, and extremely reflective. We chose this element to express the feeling of this ultra-futuristic design. The word Omega is actually the name of the frame of the motorcycle which resembles the omega symbol at profile view. This is how we came to the name Rhodium Omega.

The project took JSK Moto Co. over 30 months to build.
