Title: Auf Wiedersehen GTR
Post by: cloudwalker on April 20, 2018, 10:05:05 AM

Finally had to let her go , my second GTR 1400. One of the best sports touring machines ever. Unfortunately time arthritis and acquiring a DVT means I'm more comfortable on an upright bike. I was going to keep the Versys 1000 but the practicality (and shaft drive) of the Bavarian Tractor Panzer plus a damn good trade in offer enticed me over to the darkness.

I might be on a GS now but I'll always have fond memories of the machine and appreciative of the 'educated responses' from our esteemed forum members, and the great advice to questions.

Been a great few years, I'll leave a virtual tab open at the bar to say good bye. Safe rides and happy miles

[/the shame of it they have some nice designs but often let down by poor quality control.
