Hi from Dorset

Hi All

I am awaiting delivery of my 2016 GTR 1400, really cant wait but i have 6 days until delivery, i have also just bought a new FJR1300AE which i collected last week, decided to buy both bikes as i read all of the reviews and it seems that the 2 bikes are so different but offer contrasting styles of riding. I have always been a Kawasaki fan, my last bike was a 2015 ZZR1400 anniversary replica model, really wanted something a little tamer and also more comfy.

would really appreciate any hints/tips and info on any meets around my neck of the woods

thanks again.

Welcome. Obviously the GTR will be the better bike!! Perhaps you can join us at our annual meet in June. It will be interesting to see how you rate both bikes.

  Where in Dorset?
Are you getting it from Pete @ Bournemouth Kawasaki?

Hi

IThe GTR is coming from Preston as Pete offered me £1000 less on trade in for my ZZR, hence the wait for delivery, so i ended up saving £1500 in total compared to buying locally, Bournemouth carried out a service and a few bits for me though on my ZZR.

awww no,

although i love german cars, ive only ever been partial to Jap bikes, that said ive never ridden a GTR or even sat on one, i decided after owning a couple of ZZR's, watching and reading every review out there that the GTR was the bike for me.

A BIG welcome from North Yorkshire, you will love the GTR and it will be interesting to hear of the comparison between it and the FJR thingy 

The latest model GTR really is an improvement over previous models however they have all been very good

Be great to see you at the gathering  in June
