Title: Bike gone !
Post by: lamin on December 19, 2013, 09:24:35 PM
Well, after 3 great years with the GTR it's time for this old fella to move on to the next bike, and possibly the last, who knows?
After visiting the show at the NEC, me and my missus were looking for a replacement bike, something a bit lighter and loads of comfort for her. Checked out a few, Tiger 1050 Sport, KTM, Caponord 1200...... and the winner was, by a country mile, the Verseys 1000 with free full touring panniers and top box, centre stand and heated grips. Bike is in Pearlescent White, brand new, and ready to rock.
           A great big thank you to all on this forum, even if some of us don't add, we do lurk and learn. I for one am not technical, but was able to sort screen,  fenders, pipes etc. just by logging on here, and how good is that, to mix with like minded people who you might never meet ?
            So it's off to the Verseys gang for me, I will love you and leave you,
                                                                                           Stephen

Stephen, So It's time to move on having enjoyed the GTR . You will be going down the same route as quite a few ex GTR owners, and I am sure that you will enjoy the big V just as much if not more than the GTR. As on here lots of help and info at Versys 1000 forum. if needed. Oh and it doesn't make you a  bad person just because you have changed your bike, you can still visit back here, and taunt the natives :mfr_lol: :popcorn:

Stephen, hopefully it wasn't too sad a moment when you handed the log book over. Hopefully the Versys will meet all your needs but you'll still pop in here from time to time and see what we are all up to.


Many thanks again for donating those parts, that was extremely kind of you. 


Steve.

Stephen, I know you will be impressed by the Versys. its a very capable bike, but completely different to the fantastic GTR.

The Versys 1000 forum is a friendly helpful place too. Here's a link to take you there if you haven't already visited  :smiley:
