Finally had to let her go , my second GTR 1400. One of the best sports touring machines ever. Unfortunately time arthritis and acquiring a DVT means I'm more comfortable on an upright bike. I was going to keep the Versys 1000 but the practicality (and shaft drive) of the Bavarian Tractor Panzer  plus a damn good trade in offer enticed me over to the darkness.

I might be on a GS now but I'll always have fond memories of the machine and appreciative of the 'educated responses' from our esteemed forum members, and the great advice to questions.

Been a great few years, I'll leave a virtual tab open at the bar to say good bye. Safe rides and happy miles

And the failing gearboxes and electrical melt downs.  Pretty good apart from all that. Then there are the dealers.....

[/the shame of it they have some nice designs but often let down by poor quality control.
