Title: Hi from Grantham
Post by: Pitmonk on March 16, 2017, 03:28:03 PM
I have decided on a 2017 GTR but, can't decide on colour.
Can I have your thoughts to convince me. Blue or Grey?

Hello Pitmonk, if it were my choice I think I would go for Blue. There seams to be less and less colour in cars and bikes at the moment. The last 3 cars Ive had have all been silver/grey and the last 2 bikes black (including my GTR). Either way it will be a lush bike.

Hi Pitmonk.

I put my money where my mouth was and bought a blue one, there's a picture around the site somewhere.

I truth I always lusted after the green (2010 - 2012?) but when I was in a position to buy I could not find one with less than 10,000 miles - I suppose this is hardly surprising for a touring bike though.

Enjoy your ride when you get it.

Stay safe.

Pete.

welcome along pitmonk, you will love your GTR regardless of colour

Over the years I've owned  a Black, a Blue a Green and finally a 2016 Silver, and my advice /opinion would be for Silver.......the choice is yours sir   :mfr_lol:

Grey if you want to hide the dirt.
Blue if you have any taste at all  :mfr_lol:

I went for silver because I couldn't get one in black, which would have been my preferred colour.

Welcome to the forum  :smiley:

Exactly.   So, if you like to wash your bike then go Blue.  If not, choose Grey.

Welcome!

Black is a shade of grey.

Grey all the way, looks classy IMO there have been 3 previous blue's all nice ( i had 2 blue ones - 2 black ones - now grey ) but the latest Blue is not so good it looks a dull blue but horses for courses.
