my mate's new ride

If you bought  GTR because it's fast then you are a fool and should have bought a  ZZR1400. However, it is very fast for a bike that can hold 120mph all day. Try that on your sportbike without a neck brace. It's a sport-tourer and plenty fast enough for me. As for fast riders I know several who are faster than me in all conditions but I have managed over 250,000 miles over 20 years with only 3 minor accidents and no serious injuries, minor as in I rode the bikes home. All those faster than me have broken bones to prove it. I learned that lesson early on after a nasty wreck aged 18.

Well if your comparing Bikes  compare them to Women

GTR -  Kylie Minogue

Any BMW - Nora Batty

Yamaha R1 - Katie Price

Ducati Panigale - Audrey Hepburn

lol 

[Kwikasfuki]

I disagree. The Pan European is Nora Batty

[Winston Smith]

GTR - Kylie Minogue?!!!?!?

Nice as they are, hardly a slight build and cute??!!!!

And the BMW as Nora Batty?  Mmmm, Angela Merkel perhaps or Bridget Neilson

[No73]

I was going down the Classy and gorgeous rather than slightly built and cute, and Nora Batty suits BMW just look at the Boxer Motor lol

Oh, and I thought Nora Batty was quite an attractive woman.

[Winston Smith]

Well she is from Yorkshire....

Unfortunately - West Yorkshire (which is nearly Lancashire.  Just saying )

And as for the boxers?  No73, They are wonderful, but not Sixy....

I've had the 2008 zzr1400 and now got the 2013 ZZR1441 SE model I decided to trade my 2010 GTR1400 for another ZZR but it was not because the ZZR is faster in fact..  the GTR is fast enough for our roads so not everyone who buys a ZZR1400 is for the purpose of speed I decided to go back to the ZZR because it fits me like a glove it tours as good as the GTR and handles as good as a supersport but admittedly... the ZZR dose not suit everybody for example, if you have long legs or a pie or beer belly you may have trouble reaching the bars the ZZR1400 is a hyper sports tourer designed mainly for stability when cruising at high speeds, and although the ZZR is capable of arm wrenching Acceleration and silly top speeds I would imagine if a rider's main goal is speed he's more likely buy a ltr supersport like the zx10r then he would only have 198kg to chuck around not 268kg if my main goal was to speed around everywhere I would not have bought the 2013 ZZR would have bought the 2013 ZX10r

just my 2 penneth worth
