Hi Gang
I joined because I wanted to read about this cool bike. I don't own one, yet.
I've had a VFR for 20 years and I've loved it. My first big bike, bought new and enjoyed very much. However, the riding position doesn't suit me any more so I've decided to get something more appropriate for a bloke of my age.
I was thinking about the ZZR recently but am having trouble finding one near me in good order. Seems people aren't too keen to sell them. My reasoning for the ZZR was that if I'm going to get a bike fast bike, get one of the fastest!
Upon reflection, I think I could cope with a less powerful bike in exchange for some touring comfort - and there are more GTRs for sale!
I'm a Brit living in Germany for most of the last 20 years.
These are great bikes. Try one you will love it. It's fast enough.
Like PRD says, the GTR is fast enough for most folk, undoubtedly the ZZR 1400 is faster but you would have to ask yourself just how often do you need that level of performance (Autobahn maybe)
The GTR is comfortable and will destroy continents with ease
