Well got out today and only just thawed out but well well worth the effort and cold, right the GTR.."wow" loved every minute of my ride but taking into consideration about the type of riding I do and intend to do in the near future anyway and the fact that I still totally love my Versys im keeping her, so its a new set of tyes for spring time, thanks for all the comments and I look forward to meeting up again next year to do some more exploring with Geoff and Tyke in the Yorkshire dales, ride safe guys and merry christmas

Hi Geoff and Tyke, nice to hear from you again and my you pair certainly get around dont you and pop up in the most unexpected places,  I know that I have an awesome bike right now sitting in my garage and its going to have to be something pretty special to make me part with her but this is an itch that I just have to scratch, Ive taken on board everyones comments which are all greatly appreciated, my dealers which is Robspeed in Grimsby are what I can only describe as fantastic, he had said that he is not cleaning the GTR albeit only dusty and I can have it for as long as I want on any day but the forecast looks good for saturday, they used my bike in the summer as a demo bike as they didnt have one ........and made a sale I might add so you get the picture on the sort of relationship we have,    I will let you all know my thoughts and findings over the weekend and for all of you that are still riding in this weather.......stay safe

Hi, im a complete newby on here, ive been toying with the idea of an FJR for a while now , I presently own a very nice Versys 1000, but last week my local dealer in Grimsby let me go out on an FJR just for a jolly, Well if im totally honest I wasnt overly impressed so that put that one to bed , then I went in again yesterday and he has just taken a 14 plate GTR 1400 back in.........6 miles on it,       yes SIX miles,          its owner I believe has been poorly and now wants something a little smaller (sx1000) so on saturday im taking that out for a run and I think now that after sitting on it and riding it around the forecourt that im gunna like it........alot      so as long he's not talking daft money I can feel a new bike coming before the backside gets kicked out of mine in terms of value because of the launch of the new Versys 1000,cant wait for  saturday    :biker3:
