Title: First ride after pick up
Post by: mattye on November 13, 2011, 08:11:03 AM
Hi again all,

As promised in my first post I thought I would put a short post after picking up my GTR yesterday and give some initial thoughts.

So picked bike up from George Whites yesterday and had a detoured ride home to get used to the new steed. WOW.
The bikes weight dissappears once you are rolling and the engine is smooth. Onto the motorway and put it into 6th (or OD) and it crused along at 90 with only 4K rpm's on the clock. Onto a few twisties and the bike handles fine. If you give it some beans it picks up quickly.

All in all a great bike which I'm glad I have chosen and look forward to putting many 10s of thousands of miles onto.

Regards
