Hi, picked the bike up yesterday, only had a short trip back home from the ferry and it was windy so was a bit concerned. First impressions, lovely smooth engine, doesn't stall at low revs!! (coming off a succession of big V twins) easy to balance and ride slowly, easy gearbox no clunking, lovely comfortable seat, much less affected by the wind than I feared, but I can't feel what the tyres are doing as it feels like my bum is anaesthetised. I kept the screen on its lowest setting, not sure I want to look through it to see the road. No speed for a while as its running in. I like the protection from the fairing and with those big mirrors I can at last see what's behind me!! Be nice too if my hands are protected enough to not need the heated grips. I'm hoping the handling will be OK, Wookie, I expect it will need more input and just learn to trust the tyres. 42psi front and rear right? Anyway its in my garage now and looks great
Catch you later

Ive ridden 5 GTR's including my own, in fact I bought mine because of riding the other 4, and never noticed any handling issues on any of them. 42psi front and rear is good.

Enjoy your new bike.

The BRIDGESHITEs the bike comes with are HORRENDOUS ..they were on my 09 and are still shite on my 16 .
You can't generate any heat in the front .. well not in this weather ... drop the front to 40 psi or the lowest you can go without activating the sensor warning is 38 psi .
It will as am sure you know will put a bigger footprint on the road and help gen a bit of heat .
Concensus of opinion is replace when ready with mitchellin  P.R 4 GTS or Pirellie Angel GTS .
Ya in the same boat as me running it in .. ah only gave managed 200 miles ...bit embarrassing really .
Normally achieve the 1st service after 2 days
