From a 2011 model to 2016 new. Local dealer has one coming in, is there any major changes, I'm guessing not.

The new one will be much cleaner than yours, especially in all those awkward, hard to clean places. :yes:

:agree: and that. :mfr_lol:
I know I want to...but my bike is very clean at the moment, it may be up for sale if the deal is good........ :undecided:
The 15/16 has a different screen and saddle and I believe the linked brakes and TCS have been tweaked.

Thanks.
But will the cost justify the improvements?

New brake balance
Black trim bars and grab rail
Modified saddle
Lower first gear
Modified screen
Chrome bezel trim to speedo & tacho
Optional topbox changed
Option of mellow pipe
So it burns rubber off the lights real good, while you sit back in luxury of comfort plus saddle enjoying the sound track of your launch safe in the knowledge that the new topbox will stop yer falling off the back :mfr_lol:
The big question yer have to ask yer self is "which colour?" :punk:

you've been looking at my bike Charlie
Slate Blue or Moondust Grey...mine is Grey and its stunning ....even better than my last Green one :yes: :mfr_lol:
But would it not be better to buy a k16. Now that is a real bike combines top quality with top performance. So much better than a GTR and with an extra 2 cylinders. No brainier really.

Excuse me while I choke on the hypocrisy ........... :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:
K16 = Tourer
GTR = Fun :punk: Plus as you keep telling me........never go to a BM owners meet, you'll be bored to death :eek:
Charlie I can assure you I've had plenty of fun on my K16 and you know PRD is talking perfect sense. :popcorn:

Had a look at one in my local dealers, neither colour inspired me, but if I had to choose it would be the wishey washey blue colour, my 2011 dark blue is a better colour IMHO. I don't think the tweaks are worth the asking price of £14,500 though . That is for the GT model.
Traded my 2010 Gtr in march put 50kon that, but next Saturday I pick up My new 16 plate Gtr.
Cause nothing hasever come close

There are often 'deals' to be had, this dealer will always talk to you about a price, and if you have a part exchange they may be competitive on allowance

I would also suggest a chat with Brian at this dealership

Just back from a weeks hols, thanks, Wigan just up the road from here.
Wouldn't buy another thing from MCO.
TBH I wish I had not bought my 65 plate from them.

Tell all before I make a trip?
Everyone gets an 'bad/unsatisfactory deal from time to time, I have to say that my experiences with MCO where I bought a GTR and a Versys were superb ....speak to Charles at the dealership :clap:
Just had one offer, £12999 for a new GTR, will give me £6100 for my 2011 low mileage GTR. I'm thinking I'll keep mine and put some more miles on her. :yawn:
I replaced the rear tyre pressure sensor on my bike with one from eBay. The mechanic at MCO didn't charge me anything for pairing the replacement sensor, so I gave him 20 quid anyway for a few beers. Good service.
