Got to admit 2k you do come in for a fair bit of stick ( mainly from the pensioners  :mfr_lol: )

By the way i hear you have a 1441 ZZR in black with Green flashes and a 650 Versys, you have not mentioned that  ( for at least a  nano second  :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: )

Are you aware i am on my 4th GTR ( just thought i would drop that one in )  :mfr_lol:

I do not want you to feel i am trying to invade your popularity 2K so i will sit back and watch you and Mecci slog it out on the virtue's of the GTR /ZZR  Debate  :sleep1: :sleep1:

[/quote] I think mecki as :surrender: :sweatdrop: I reckon he knows he's flogging a dead horse where the GTR and the ZZR contest is concerned :whistling: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: :mfr_lol:

p.s you told you I had a ZZR 1441 and VERSYS :whistling: :mfr_lol:

ive been thinking about a veradero/v strom  type bike for a while , but i dont like vtwins, i assumed , wrongly that the versys was another vtwin, didnt realise that it is a straight4, tbh  i will probably get out of the gtr in the next 2 years and a versys it could well be. I think id get a used one first just to see how we get on with it. Looks wise its not prettier or uglier than the gtr. I never thought the Gtr was pretty anyway,
maybe its my age and bike design overtaking me but i cant really think of many attainable bikes that are pretty.  I had a zzr1200 which i thought was drop dead gorgeous , not as capable as the gtr but damn priddy
I couldn't agree more about the ZZR1200 that was one fantastic looking bike, mine was silver, utterly mint and I rue the day I sold it. Funnily enough I also dont think the GTR is a handsome bike, much like the big Versys it's not ugly, but neither is it a thing of beauty. Regarding the Versys I had a test ride on one and was amazed how good it was, far more sprightly than the GTR, better brakes, and for me far more fun to ride. But in saying that the GTR is also a fantastic bit of kit. Ya pays ya money  blah blah.

MCN highly rated the Big Versys in a test of Adventure bikes a few weeks ago, can't remember the exact date but if you go onto their web site you should be able to read the test, cracking bike. If i were to get rid of the Monster i would seriously consider the Brute.
get a grip and deal with it

There are lots of folk on the Versys forum who have had a test ride on the big Versys, and been amazed how good they are.  Roger and myself being just 2 of them.   :banana: :banana:   and the rest as they say is history. :smiley:

Neil, Devils bridge, Kirby Lonsdale,    9 bells.      normally end up back at the bridge, after a full day, lunch out etc etc etc . No motorways involved. lots of fun and scenery guaranteed.    :banana: :banana: :banana:     Av it.      :smiley:
