i went to another dealers on saturday,they are doing the zzr1400 performance model with all the needed extra's already fitted.
r&g crash bobbin's
r&g tail tidy
r&g radiator cover
ermax tinted screen
akrapovic  exhaust
i think a rear hugger & fenda extender was mentioned in a deal
there offer on my 2012 gtr1400 with 6.5k on the clock was £8.700---£200 more than the dealer i normally use,i need to take one out for a longer test ride to see if i can't adapt,i'm going on the line's of not offering it in a private sale,to much hassle,i'll probably simply part ex.i like the gtr but in my opinion it's a tad of an over weight,one may call it a midlife crisis,but while i'm able to do so,GET MY LEG OVER, i'd like a zzr.

If you've had the bike from new, that's a big loss.

Go for it Tapps ... you know you want to .... midlife crisis or what ??? ... I'll be on a Gs before long !

Why does it feel as if everyone is abandoning their GTR's?

I agree, and I've just got mine......

Is it something I said???

Steve, I know what you mean, but its not "everyone" as there's still a great membership on this forum, some who don't have GTRs and those who have had them and changed for something else, and hopefully the latter ones will still visit and contribute from time to time. The bikes they ride might have changed but they haven't.

Personally I'm changing to the big Versys, because it suits my/our personal needs better than the awesome GTR, we won't be touring anymore and I, for a number of reasons, need a lighter bike, the Versys 1000 is over 10 stones lighter than my GTR, that makes a huge difference to me.

I'll still be haunting this forum as I have made, and plan to keep, the great friendship from members that I enjoy on here.

This the only forum I regularly visit - it is a great community, started due to a bond over the fantastic GTR, but continued as there is an eclectic mix of people who contribute, serious, humourous, annoying and lovely!

The motto of GTr Europe is 
Join for the bike stay for the people
i think that applies here as well

Bloody hell, I feel like I've just had a counselling session with a shrink.... it was only a light hearted comment.  Right I'm just off out for a ride on the Harley.

You're right Chris and out of all the  forums that I participate in (Ithink there are 7 others) this is right up there amongst the very best 

I recall the early GTR forum which was run by Max...anyone remember him ?

[Boomer]

Last I heard Max was considering getting another GTR.
Like so many here he just keeps coming back to the GTR.

The rest of you just get itchy feet and have to go shopping for another new bike or you get bored.
Yer like a bunch of bored middle-aged housewives.
Kids have left home, hubby is at work or doing the mistress, so you go shopping, get yer hair done, and go find yourselves a new boytoy!
Some of us are actually committed,.... or we should be.

BTW there's absolutely no way I'll be getting my hair done
