One from the Dark Side!

I know it's the GTR forum, but I appear to have lost the 'R'?!!

My new wheels



Everything and more, loving it

[Winston Smith]

And without the panniers.............

Just lovely. Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it once you have a few miles under you.

Martin.

Its a sweet looking machine. I was only thinking the other day how much better it could look in magnesium.....

[Rusty]

Winny ..... I don't care what anyone says about running costs and servicing and BMW ownership .... THAT IS GORGEOUS. 
You ARE a lucky man ... what a way to get to your soon to be NARPO meetings !!
Brilliant stuff mate.

Congrats Winston. That is sex on two wheels.

Love the red. Only if Kawa did a red like that ...

Kin ell !!!!!It's nearly as big as that house across the road in that first pickie,!!!!! And E T is hiding on the side of the engine. It does look really lovely though,nice colour too. I hope you enjoy it.

Cheers Guys!

It is sublime, superbly smooth and unbelievably comfortable.

The GTR was comfy but this is a whole new level.  The whole thing is to be honest.

And that engine.  OMG THAT ENGINE - I am seriuosly thinking of divorcing the wife and marrying the bike!

Returning 49mpg, even under 600 miles, and even though running in 

It feels so planted through corners and is perfectly balanced.  Scraped right peg with 20 miles on it as it is so confidence inspiring.

It really is the ultimate machine (in my eyes)

I loved the GTR, didn't intend to change it for at least another year but got a great deal on the Bee Em.  I have not looked back in the past week although I have to say there is nothing at all wrong with the Kawasaki.  I will always have a special place in my heart for them.

But did I mention the engine on the K16?  Oh, that engine.................

[TRIGGERHAPPY]

Nice !!!  Good luck with your new bike or maybe i should say girlfrend
Hope she'll treat you good.

That looks great dood  really liking the colour, it looks much better than the silverery ones....mind you... a couple of Akropawotsits would finish it off nice,,,,, without the baffles of course *snigger*

[O.C.]

Well Chris you finally went and did it,................ tell me is it easier than the 1300GT to get onto the mainstand ?

I must say it looks stunning ~ that colour is the dogs doo dahs.

I hope that you really enjoy the new bike mate, it'd be good to meet sometime soon and have a ride out

Apart from the somewhat prohibitive cost (£1700.00!!!!!!) I actually don't like the look of the Phil.  An dthe sound made by (that) engine is gorgeous anyway!

Yes it is Roger!  Dead easy in fact!

Even better in the Metal! (and the sunshine when it shows up)
