eyes like a :shit: house rat.. geoff :smiley: :yes: it was from MCO wigan, they were the nearest dealers to me that had theses special editions in stock. the dealer said there was only 42 of theses editions models destined for the uk and only 9 to date have been distributed across the uk to date. he also said I was the first to register one :banana:

:yes: they are on the large side :yes: but also like the luck of them :smiley: it may be a age thing now :sad: because have been leaning towards liking standard bikes for a while now :whistling: so there's a good chance they will be staying on :smiley:
Thats a cool looking bike, It'll be a while before you can truly explore its potential, lovely dry sunny day darn sarf today but still not a biking day
Enjoy your new bike when you can

Ah yes, bought both mine from them, found em really good to deal with, and an added bonus is the fact that a mate of mine works in the service department, and he is a good lad and very conscientious. I have bought bikes from them for donkeys years( I'm 64 ya know) :rolleyes: even though I am 90 odd miles from them I have always found it worth the effort. I'm sure they will look after your new baby just as well :banana: :smiley:.

his your mates name garry!
Good luck with the bike 2kwaks, lovely lookin machine, but those exhausts.... personally I think they're the only thing to detract from the low lithe bike it should be.
Still a beauty though, I like the green flashes.

No mate is called Steve, but a few weeks ago when I went to have the first service on the Versys done there was a lad who had his dog in a cage :shocked: :wacko: in the workshop, that chap could be Gary. :smiley:

I remember meeting a tech called gary, seemed a very nice freindly chap for a woolie back :wink: the salesmen was called dave bolton who delt with me, and he was very professional and nothing was to much trouble. to be honest he gave me a good price for both the gtr and the zx6r considering all bikes are bringing low cash private. but having said that, he did get two low mileage immaculate showroom condition bikes off me :yes: I've got no problems going back to them for my first service and what ever other needs I might need. I did order a set of R&G frame bobbins and a front fenda extend but they had not arrived by the time I took my bike, so he is calling me when they come in and I will pop it down for them to fit them. he got 2 first class low mileage motorcycles from me because he was not tight with the p/x allowance. which did surprise me really :yes: because one of the many dealerships that M.C.O at wigan own is millenium motorcycles at st helens who are a tight as a nats chuffter with p/x allowances, the last bike I bought from millenium was a zrx1200 in 2004 and I only bought that from them because I had no p/x so they could not even try to have my pants down :grin: over the years have tried 4 times to buy a bike from millenium and they have offerd me approx £1,000 less for each bike, than I got from the same 4 bikes from the 4 deals I've done from gt motorcycles at plymouth which always match or in 3 cases their like for like bike I was buying was cheaper, I bought my gtr1400 from gt motorycles and I got a phone call 4 days later to say george white was supplying the gtr, wasn't to pleased at first but they did honour the same deal I did with gt motorcycles, didn't find them as helpfull or as friendly has gt motorcycles, but the deal went through sweet :smiley: gt motorycles I've now re-opened the same dealership that geoge white took over from them when they sold out. I was considering getting my 2013 zzr1400 from gt motorcycles, but thought I would try MCO at wigan first and give due where it's due they gave me a fair deal and a excellent service, so your right geoff they seem like a fair, freindly and professonial dealership. just thinking if MCO have took over millenium at st helens they may also offer a decent price for your trade in... but there again..! :whistling: the "wolf" may even get the coffees for the lads, his own hot chocolate :whistling: :wink: and the bacon butties for us all the next time we meet :mfr_lol:
Dave I didn't realise you we're getting rid of both bikes.

Wow! Flippen hek mate, I've blinked and missed the plot! The GTR's gone? Was it me Dave...was it...was it when our bikes were parked next to each other and you realised that yours should have been GREEN? :mfr_lol:

Anyway, nice one. I like it.
Is there a ZZR forum that we can direct Dave to now that he's jumped ship? :popcorn:

I've not posted on the zx14r forum for a while untill recently! but in my defence, that was my sigificant other halfs fault :yes: at the time I was a member of 3 bike forums.. the zzr1400,zx6r and our gtr1400 forum :smiley: and the wife said I was spending to much time on bike forums :whistling: and she was moaning I was not showing her any attention :sweatdrop: however! I have no intention of loosing touch with the friends have made and met on this forum so your not getting rid of me that easy :smiley: I also plan to still go to the jolly boys gtr1400 meet in 2013 :yes: and would like to make one thing prefectly clear to steve "Mr wolf" your not going to exclude my zzr1400 from the gtr group bike picture :nono: if you try.. there will be trouble :wink: :mfr_lol:

I've just been thinking.. it's debateable that I've even actually jumped ship because I've still got a kawasaki and it's a 1400 1441 engine :grin: not like one person I can mention who as decided to jump ship completely and go over to the "GERMANS" :mfr_lol:
