Thinking of a gtr

[Hrcblade]

Quick update, going to test ride 09 model which I mentioned earlier in this thread. It's maybe bit overpriced but will ride it and I guess the price to change is the important number. Hope it's as good as what everyone says

If it's got the standard screen on it don't let that put you off

He does keep banging on about his KrautWing doesn't he. 
Methinks he's trying to convince himself that he made the right choice but deep down he regrets getting rid of the GTR. 
Winnie, it's OK to admit that you made a mistake. We will welcome you back with only a minimum of piss-taking.

Yeah right

George, you know I love the GTR, and even more, the piss taking!

I have to admit that I loved the smoothness of my Z1300 but the 1400 is just as smooth and a LOT more powerful.
Of all the BMWs I'd most like to have a late model R100RT (single sided rear) as they were just a nice all round characterful bike.
Since then I guess I'm just not in BMWs target market as I'm not silly-rich and the only badge fetish I have is Kawasaki, oh and I have no desire whatsoever to be a Charlie/Ewan clone.
If I win the lottery I reserve the right to change my mind but even then I'd probably buy a GutWing,....... and a ZZR1400,...... and a KTM Adventure,...and an Alcohol Funny Bike,............. 

Oh, by the way, welcome aboard HRCBlade and all the others who have joined since I last welcomed our newer members.
As you can see the insanity seems to be built in.

Update.
I bought it, part ex'd the BM so pick it sometime next week. Cant get over how smooth it was. Spent about 2 hours on so hopefully weather is ok next week.

This one on ebay is a real good buy.

debs.. that was a bloody good buy got £8,200 for my 2010 best colour model with 7,800 miles on the clock from a dealer, so who ever got that 11 reg with a under 3,000 thousand miles on the clock for £8.500 got a bloody good bargain
