Title: Kawasaki GTR 1400. Not for girls!!
Post by: Lonewolf on May 22, 2011, 02:42:39 PM
A thought just occurred to me this morning as I woke up, do we have any female GTR riders or is it a male dominated activity?

Just curious that's all, I can't see any reason why the fairer sex wouldn't have a GTR.

I know of 3. There is an English woman who now lives in France with her hubby (both have GTR's).
I met them both at the Ace Cafe Kawasaki day a couple of years ago.
The other 2 are in the US.

The biggest problem for women is the seat height and the weight.
If they are tall enough and experienced enough then there is no reason why not.
However, it's not really aimed at women riders so don't expect too many.
There are quite a few female GTR1000 riders around the world.

She'll catch her death of cold dressed like that on the GTR, however luckily for her I have a spare jacket if she wants to pop round.  ;D

Or is the advert saying if you trade your GTR in, you get the model on the right? Decisions, decisions

Too right Mr Pembsgtr ... August will be very funny I am sure ! That's what I like about this Forum ... a decent bit of banter and a good laugh at everyones expense ! I am not sure, as Mr Wolf says, about the mature bikers bit, just getting old and managing to get on the bike is good enough for most of us !!!!  ;D ;D
