Just had a test Ride '09 GTR

[Lonewolf]

Quite so !  Mr Wolf ..... the answer is to respray yours in the new Green and be done with it  ;D ;D

There's green and then there's green....(puke) :o



Horrible green above, cool green below.

I like the Kawasaki racing green, maybe without the Monster stripes though, reminds me of my old ZX9Rs, the bike could be a 9R with the same proportional weight gain to that I've had since those days  ;D

The ZZR in Kawasaki green is awesome. I don't mind the british racing green on the new models, and am hoping next year kawasaki give us a bigger choice. Like Kawasaki green, burgundy and racing yellow

The black and silver variations are getting boring.

[Lonewolf]

NB, I mentioned a while ago that a chap at work bought a new ZZR special edition from Autorama and now wishes he had bought a GTR.



I did tell him at the time.  ::)

This GTR I'm getting has a Givi rack, are these universal at all, I've seen some nice Givi top boxes but I don't know if they will suit the plate that is on the bike.

Don, I am sure the Givi box will fit the rack.

Be wary - there are two types of Givi systems - Mono-lock and Mono-Key

Am I not right in thinking that if you buy a Kawasaki box you get the plate and fitting kit with it?. :-\

[Debs]

British racing green has always been a lovely colour, but I prefer black  ;D

Indeed you are right - Kit comes with the box.

It was the fact that a plate is already fitted - make sure it's the right one!

I can see that you and I are going to get on just fine.  ;D

Shouldn't that British racing green come with a tan leather seat? ??? 8)

Or snake skin a la Z1000

Well, picked the bike up today, what a machine, makes my FJR feel old fashioned, the bike is silky smooth. It just seems to handle so sweetly and the pick up is terrific. I'm well pleased, just need to read up on the display panel, when I put the tire pressure menu up all I get is three dashes where I expected a reading, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Whenever I make a big purchase, I'm always worry that I'm doing the right thing, within a few miles I'm not worried about anything, it's a cracker.

All the best, Donald

The TPS normally kicks in a few mins after riding the bike. Did you check it during your ride?
