imported gtr are they good

before buying an import bike i would check with your insurance company  first ,if my memory is right the insurance companies ask if your bike has been imported for some reason,probably to put up your premium.!!!!!!

Launched in 2007 but model year is 2008
When I was looking to buy I found a US import from Ohio.
Purchase price plus the cost of registering in UK  just didn't add up.

If you have £10k to spend, why don't you get one that is about a year old (like I did). Save loads on buying new and still have the manufacture warranty etc.  I put handlebar risers and a scorpion exhaust as I found the handlebars were too low and I was hunched when riding and the stock exhaust doesn't suit the bike (IMO) and is far too quiet. The only other niggle are the foot pegs, they feel too high so legs are not in the right position for me. I had a 1250 bandit for the 4 years earlier and that fit me perfect with no mods at all, so am a little disappointed, but I guess its just a different set up that I got to get used to.

My other bike is a 1800 V Twin Intruder which I am now selling if you fancy that, instead of the GTR.

Have a look at the one that's up for sale now in The Market section. Lovely colour too.
