I've just spent the last hour reading reviews of the GT.

I think I will take one for a test ride.

But will be with the GTR for a long time yet

Asif .. you are being VERY brave !! Winny told me NOT to take a test ride as I think he knows I am one of those who would just ride back to the dealer and say " Yep, I'll have one ! "   :wink:
If you do book one ... please tell !  :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

Looking to buy a house now so no chance of me getting one in the near future.

Still want to ride one and satisfy my own curiosity.

Rusty is spot on Asif!

I wasn't going to test one again, did it almost by accident and did just what Rusty says!

Went back and bought one!!

Yeah I can understand that. I hired a GTR for a weeks holiday to Cornwall.  Loved it so much I came home and bought one.  With hindsight I could have saved several hundred pounds of rental which could have been more wisely spent on, dare I say it, inner pannier bags.

Very good service, no snobbery and an overall pleasant way of having a huge wedge of money taken from me!
