hi all

[bsa1]

Just negotiating final deal on a new GTR1400 - had a pan st1100 for 6 years so the more modern powerful bike will be fun 

I also have a GSXR1000 so not worried about the extra power - love the way the bike looks and all the goodies as standard

Oh and its the metallic dark blue one as I notice colour seems to be important to some here 

hope to meet a few of you in person soon - I am based West London

Hi and welcome for the forum.

Ignore what Dave says about the best colour. Only reason he reckons the magnesium grey is best is cause it matches the colour of his hair. 

[Lonewolf]

Welcome one and all. You'll enjoy the GTR I'm sure.

  to the forum BSA1, I'm sure you will enjoy the bike, and the madness of this site, lots of help and assistance when needed. We also have world leading pundits on such things as tyres, screens, and all manner of add ons/ electical gadgets .                 I just like riding mine, because it's such a great bike.  I hope you will do the same.    cheers Geoff

Welcome bsa1!

I'm also new to the bike and the forum. And my bikes are Black...

[Wirralmark]

I think all in all, when you take into account the handling, acceleration, speed, braking etc then the blue is definitely the best colour.
Welcome aboard

Welcome bsa1,

I had a Pan 11 a few years ago and got rid cause it was so boring... , very competent tourer but hardly awe inspiring... the GTR on the other hand might just get the blood going.. specially if you put a pipe on it

As regards the great colour debate... stick a pair of sunglasses and a dark visor on and all the bikes look the same...

Hope you enjoy it.
Al.

Lots of good and friendly advice on here,

Nice to have you on board BSA man .. especially as you are a southerner .... !! I work in London and have a brother living down the road from you in Barnes. (Me, Sussex )

When the weather warms up next year I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities for some southern meet ups and rides ... something that the northern contingent do quite a lot when the carrier pigeons are resting !!!!!
