Snowy .... "GTR for serious scratching" !!! ... you need to test ride a Gs mate   :yes: :yes: ... I honestly believe that the biking public who perhaps are afraid to try them out or simply don't like the look of them or are of the dislike BMW brigade have no idea how 1. Quick they are and 2. How forgiving they are. I loved my GTR but simply fancied a change .. you can't get much more different than those two bikes  :eek: :eek: but having said that I would like to try the K16 for a day and see what its all about  :yes:

Appreciate fully where you're coming from  :yes:
Had a 2004 1200GS, loved it, got us back into touring, but got tempted by a Super Tenere so the GS went!
Tenere wasn't the all rounder that I thought it would be, especially with the pillion, Jen just couldn't get on with it!  :undecided:
So along came the GTR! Have the 700GS as me commuter, want to try a GS1200LC, but with my track record it'll be too tempting. :whistling:
The K16, test rode before the GTR, awesome tool, but too "clinical", too "fly by wire",  :yawn: - have more fun in my TDi Audi!
New Tiger 1050 will be the next to test, and have to try a Rocket 3 just for the experience of a 2.0l + motorcycle......and the torque!
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.
