<strong>RATZ</strong><br />Concerned that the GTS gave the impression his RADD suspension was strictly for touring use, Parker set out to prove the viability of the system for racing. The RATZ prototype was built from a Yamaha TZ250, and included sufficient design refinements for Parker to consider it a second-generation design. Repositioned suspension arms eliminated the cornering-clearance issues of earlier versions, and dual front disc brakes were used for the first time-all previous examples employed single front discs.
