Having had both versions of the ST (1100 and 1300) I can honestly say you will love the GTR, very comfy and handles both distance and speed easily one or two up.

Low speed maneuverability felt vague but was sorted by changing the rear brake pads.

My pride and joy....

interested in the screen once i can sort postage to Derry to a friends place if that's ok

Hi all,

This is being rolled out across France currently and at present affects cities but im sure it will stretch further once the initial fuss dies down.. covers all vehicle types and the on the spot fines are the danger.

Thanks guys it was worth a shot...

I would be interested in the Calci Touring screen if its still available

Good man Martin, welcome aboard....

Hi Essexman,

I was similar to yourself Pan Europeans since 2000 both versions served me very well, unfortunately due to Mr Honda not caring about the Pan I was forced to look elsewhere. Friends of mine had the GTR and I was impressed by test rides so I bit the bullet and purchased.. I picked mine up in Germany and drove it home to Ireland as its first spin, very impressive machine..

Best thing would be to go do the test drives, high mileage aside, if your not going to be happy living with it the service intervals wont matter. Drive it and decide if its what you want...just my 2 cents...

My Zumo 550 started off not responding like that and went to totally unresponsive. The screen digitizer had failed, this post was very useful as a tutorial http://www.gt-rider.com/thailand-motorcycle-forum/showthread.php/33909-Replacing-Garmin-Zumo-Touch-Screen-Do-it-Yourself

I replaced both screen and digitizer and all fine again, may not be your exact issue or may be related....hope this helps.

Hi,

Just purchased a 2014 Gtr in Germany and drove it home, really enjoyed it. Was a longtime Pan European rider both versions....
Now gone to the dark side....
