PPs ... Here Here .... this is a great place as we all know ... we all get on and have lots to say and there is always someone contributing new stuff ... I love it !
As I have said before I use the UK Gs'er site too, but only now and then ... as it has years and years of threads and inputs about everything .. especially on the travel sections both UK and abroad so would thoroughly recommend it .. just make sure you come back here ! :cool: :cool:

Well here's a comment from a 53 yr old, who has, over the last 2 years changed from a gtr (ran outbof money and had to sell) to a 2008 Busa (8 monyths later )and to be fair was made up with it for a year or so, then the wife decided she wants to come biking again but doesn't like the Busa...so I decided to revisit the gtr world and I have to say since I got it 2 weeks ago I can't believe what I was missing, it's comfy as hell, easier to ride IMO, and lets be fair, how often do we REALLY go over 160mph, and you can take your butties with you......

No for me it will always be a gtr from now on......but each to his own.

Long live 1400gtr....

i took a zzr out yesterday for a good test ride,i liked it,i've decided to keep the GTR,i can't warrant trading it in & paying another £4.5k for a zzr which is not as comfortable as the GTR.

Well, I've had 'a' GTR since 2008 and love the bike to bits to the point that I still think it looks reasonably up to date (look at the pan or FJR for example).  It has enough goodies to keep me occupied and doesn't feel like there is anything out there that will keep both me a SWMBO happy.

Forum wise, I've been member of the original GTR forum (by Max) and a fair amount of people here I got to know from there.....  it was great and Max did a great Job.  Having said that, I only frequent this forum on a regular basis - its the people here that make it one of the best .....  lets keep it that way..... it really doesn't matter what bike you ride, your interest is either a GTR, will be or has been a GTR and your still interested in 2 wheels.  what else is there?

Well done guys and here's to the next 5 years.

I think the GTR is an awesome bike, i will own and ride one as long as i can, but there will come a time when it will be just too much to handle, be it weight or health, it will not be down to boredom or just fancy a change, only then will i grudginley change. At this moment in time there is no other bike on the planet that floats my boat like the GTR can.
get a grip and deal with it
