Title: Newbie
Post by: sixshotdave on February 01, 2014, 08:49:16 PM
Hi Everyone, thought I'd get straight in and say hi. Just traded in my KTM 990 superduke for a midnight blue A9F. Picked it up last Sat great weather down to Kent from Brum only for the return journey to catch the monster of all storms. Thunder lightening driving rain gale force winds hail subzero temperatures to say the wife wasn't happy is an understatement!!!!
The bike was a dream held the road beautifully plenty of wind protection and comfy for the 3.5hrs it took to get home. Maybe catch some of you guys around for a ride out etc some time..anyways stay safe out there.

welcome. Your first experience on the GTR is actually a good one. Ive had mine now for 3 years and I would say it best attribute is its ability in bad weather.  It feels so supreme in what ever is thrown at it.

stick around !

300 miles in torrential rain last summer in Belgium with SWMBO on the back. rock steady , plenty of protection from the elements, and she stayed happy   :innocent:
