hello new to the forum,thought id say hello just put a deposit down on a spanking new kawi just wondering have i done the right thing
i was debating between the honda pan and the gtr14 the kawi just looks the dogs against the pan any help on decent mods i shouid be thinking about and also whats mpg like thanks guys any info wouid be great!! :biker3: :biker3:
Welcome!
Good choice, both brilliant bikes (I am an avid fan of the Pan)but the K is more modern and has masses of power!
Great choice.
Where you got it from? 5-Ways or RobSpeed?
5ways m8 really like the pan freind has one and swears buy it but like ya say the kawi just looks better
Welcome, I used to live in Bridlington, but don't hold that against me. Up near Sowerby by the Friendly Forester if you know it.
You'll have no regrets with the GTR, do you ever get to Seaways?
Yeah I know. I've seen you there. :mfr_lol:
i go up to seaways quite alot and i know sewerby very well im on forty foot just down the rd and im looking forward to the gtr lads
What was your ride before the Big K?
:185: to the forum, and enjoy your stay with us. Lots of help and assistance if needed. You have chose a great bike, and I am sure you will have many happy hours riding it. If you ride nice and steady and just flow along you will get 50+ mpg, if you ride like your arse is on fire it will be a lot less. Cant advise on Mods as I figure that 99% of them are utter shite, my theory is buy a bike that suites your needs then learn to adjust to what it has to offer, do that and you will have a lot of fun on a great bike. Enjoy it :smiley: cheers Geoff
congratz & very welcome here :clap:
cheers geoff
:185: to this forum where there's plenty information and advice, there's also a good deal of piss taking too.
The GTR is light years ahead of the Pan (in my humble opinion) and you won't be disappointed with your new purchase...when does it arrive ?
Accessories are a very personal thing and you either like to personalise your bike or leave it standard like mu old mate Geoff (100 Miles Away) its down to you
There is an accessory/mods section on here with links to lots of sites where you can get your goodies, how far you go will, I suppose, depend on how deep your pockets are.
Interesting to see that you have "kwikasfuki" as you signature line which also happens to be the forum name of our Administrator and forum boss :oops:

Geoff, a pal of mine in Northern Ireland changed his KLV for a 1000 Versys last October, and he loves it :yes:
My dealer .. no ... not the drugs one ... says the Versys sells very well .... I bet it's a very good all rounder with some decent poke too!
