Back on a GTR again

[Boomer]

Indeed!  George, you know I love the GTR, but as Johnny Depp said "if you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second."

Johnny Depp is a slag! 
Have you tried explaining that to your better half?
Are your testicles now mounted on the fireplace along with her other trophies? 

Besides, if some people want to ride a Digital Samsonite that's up to them.
Me I prefer a Black Dragon with an attitude problem.

maybe we will see this one at the 2013 meet I've got a feeling this meet is going to be a "BIG ONE"

She IS the second one

Well I got out on my first ride on the new 2012 GTR today. took it down to Billing bikefest 270 mile round trip. Got back and she now has 282 miles on.  MMMM ride was a bit bouncy so wound front preload up 1 ring, 2 more clicks on damping. Wound rear shock preload up to 5 clicks from max and another 1/2 turn on damping. a bit better but room for improvement.

Mind you, I remember when I had my 2009 model it too had BT021's fitted and they made the ride harse, (IMO) so I changed to PR2's and it totally changed the ride and handling for the better. They just seemed to offer better bump absorbtion.

I also Found that after a while my right wrist was aching a bit due to the angle of the bars too, might just need to get used to it again now i'm sat different

I will continue with the tyres for another few weeks but may swap them for PR3's.  If I do i'll offer the BT021's on here cheap. They will probably only have around 600 miles on by then. 

I know some of you rate them and still use them.

PS, Is it just me or was the pre 2010 model a bit better build quality and ride?
