My 2012 GTR has been delivered.. Shame it's on a 12 plate so can't ride it for another week  :angry:
It's in the new blue... Appears black..until its in bright sun or shine a torch on it (in my garage)
It has a bright blue metal flake in it.. Looking forward to seeing it in the sun

Welcome to the forum.
I've seen the blue GTR and it looks OK. Not as nice as the green, though.
If you would have gone for the green you would not only have gotten the top box for free they also come with INNER BAGS.  :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

Congratulations - You got the best colour, same as my '09 plate.  The sun really does bring out the blue - that's what sold the bike to me, the colour and the effect in sunlight.

HG may still have the inner bag offer on........................................... :whistling:
