New GTRist from Paris

[eko]

Hello,

After 2 BMW RTs, I decided last week to trade my RT for a GTR,
I got myself a 2010 black GTR.

After 24h I'm quite satisfied, great look, great engine, quite comfortable,
considering the weather these days in Paris (rainy, 5°c) the electronic helps are welcome and efficient.

I just need a higher windshield (I'm 1,94m tall), maybe deflectors for the hands,
and a solution for the side cases (I'll do a specific topic).

I'm now impatient to test it outside the city!

Cheers to all.

Nico

Hello Nico and Welcome ... that looks like a great bike to take around France !
If you have time there are plenty of topics here about tall screens and more recently hand/wind deflectors ... take a look  ;D
May I ask how much you paid for a 2010 GTR in Paris ??
Nice of you to drop in and look forward to reading about your adventures ....  ;D

Nico, welcome along to the forum. Great colour bike too.  ;D

Thanks for your messages,
to be honest, I would have preferred a Bronze one (brown) but I couldn't find one.

A GTR like this (2010-2011) in France will be around 11-13K€ depending on mileage and state of consumables (tires, brake pads, etc...)
Mine is a 2011 model, 22.000km, fitted with the original top case, new brake pads and discs, new tires, a new larger windshield and was 11.500€

Hope you and your family have a great Christmas.  ;D

Bienvenu Nico, (Oui, je suis Francophone)

I am also 1m94 and the only screen I have found that is right for me is the CalSci XL

It's not cheap but with screen fully up there is almost no wind noise even over 160Kph.
