Good price indeed but let's also remember nobody is going to pay full list price for a new one so it's not going to be  a £2.7k differance - in reality the differance is much smaller

Collected it today - lovely sunny ride home  :

In the dealer but can't pick it up until Monday 

Welcome Captain Kev ... And well done you ! Where in Londinium are you ?

Update - Took the plunge - New 2015 GTR arriving 1st March !!!!!

Thanks all for the welcome.

Looking forward to NEC to see all the 2015 models. As I said at the moment the GTR is looking favourite for my next mount. As I see it :

K1600 - great but cost too much
Rt1200 - always loved these but not sure the new model is better than the old and more of a solo ride than two up ( one of the reasons I want to trade up from the GSX - going to do much more two up touring)
FJR - not sure it offers anything over the GTR and doesn't look as good
Trophy - would be to worried about it breaking down ( probably unfair I know) and it's to much like a armchair on wheels ( I want a sports tourer )
ST - might as well stick with the GSX

Don't want to be a boardman look alike so that rules out all the " adventure" bikes

Welcome any thoughts on my thinking above

Hi , just signed up to get some info on the GTR.

Currently have a 2010 GSX1250fa and am considering changing for 2015. Off to the NEC next weekend to have a look at models but so far the GTR is my preference - have liked it for ages.

Typically do 2,000 plus  miles Europe ever year on a trip and another 3-4,000 in the UK
