Grovel and apologies

Some time ago I mentioned I was not impressed with the standard screen on my 2009 GTR and dared to suggest I could be tempted by a BMW. Well 5,000 miles later including a trip to France, North Wales, RTTW and umpteen days out and finally today I am convinced the GTR is the best bike I have ever owned and far superior to the R1200 BMWs I tested. Well I was wrong and now that I am more accustomed to the bike, I find it perfect for me and the wife or me on my own.
Having covered some seriously wet miles in Wales and a cold day out riding today fom Stockport to Stoke via Macclesfiled, up to Bolton and chatted to a nice bunch of guys at Bolton Kawasaki (was Doug Hacking Motorcycles). Was well impressed with the new dealership in Bolton. I intend to have the bike serviced there in the next couple of weeks, will let you know how they fare. I must admit, the new ZZR1400 is tempting, and the wife said I could have one as long as it was metalic green after she saw an awesome looking metalic green ZZR1400 with colour coded panniers at Sandbach Services for RTTW. Course I went too far and said we would have to have one of each, a ZZR and a GTR. Ouch!

Sounds good Chris .... spend it whilst you are here ... can't take it with you  ;D

Have to agree with Rusty, go with your heart. I hear the new ZZR is going to be 1440cc with over 200BHP  :o :o  If thats your thing go for it, you only live once.

I had the same feelings when i first test rode the GTR, i was really sure i was gonna hate it..... and then had to tell the dealer that i actually rather liked it.
And now after about 2,000 similar miles to you...Wales, in the rain, hooning round French D roads and generaly exploring the far edges of the Bridgestones I am even more impressed than before... cracking bike...


mind you....


1440cc, 2000bhp, and the fastest accelerating production bike ever made....... oooh go on then  ;D

Will not be buying a ZZR to add to the GTR, apparently do what the f**k you like does not mean yes dear go out and buy another Kawasaki to compliment the one we already have??????? Women, you can't live with them and you can't live with them.LOL.

[Lonewolf]

Is it worth just surprising her and going out and getting one in any case and then going,,  Ta, da, look whats in the garage.  ;D
