The Market / Scorpion exhaust

It's time for my GTR to go so I have for sale a scorpion serket  titanium exhaust (part no RKA94TEO), it's off my 2013 model but will fit other models but please check, I've had it on the bike for around 3k miles mainly needs a good clean, thought I'd ask here before it goes on eBay,  £225 including postage to uk mainland only.
I also have a givi monkey E55 maxia top box with both keys in good condition been in back of garage a while now £120 collection only or can deliver locally (Sheffield) area.
I'm struggling to upload any pics so if interested pm me & I'll email them.

I've always preferred michelins on other bikes I've had so when I bought
The big kwack with Avons already fitted I thought I'd be changing them
for pr4's but they stuck to the road so thought I'd give em a chance &
glad I did more mileage than I've had from any other tyre & cheaper

4K miles in 2 months of owning the bike but that includes a holiday to Black Forest, I usually average about 12k a year as its my only form of transport

After a 3 week wait I finally picked up the GTR. A trip over the woodhead pass this morning to exchange the vfr for the big girl wasn't the order of the day with a full blown snow blizzard, not good on 4 wheels as I saw a few that'd left the road so for me on 2 wheels made me wish I'd had the GTR delivered  :help: but I was there so no turning back. I finally arrived in Manchester shiny side up. All paperwork signed & tax/insurance sorted, the trip back wasn't what I'd imagined, instead of fun goin the long way home on some real roads I decided to go all motorway which was just as bad as the woodhead pass, snow blizzards followed by heavy fog, torrential rain then high winds but we made it impressed how the big girl handled it all. So after a long tiring day concentrating so hard I thought it'd  be wise just to fit the scorpion exhaust thanks to markmacd, sat nav also fitted as well as adjusting the gear lever, brake/clutch lever angles & throttle free play (Personaly I don't like too much, next to none tbh). I am now ready for tomorrow & some real roads, playtime  :cheesy:

What can I say test ride over, grinning like a Cheshire Cat  :grin: :grin: Stonking engine, armchair comfort & handles well for a beast, say no more. Deposit paid..roll on 29th when I pick up the big girl.
Unfortunately not be making the group meet this year I'll be setting off for the annual tour of Black Forest via cochem & obviously the Nurburgring...

Thanks for all the welcomes & feedback, all reviews seem to favour the GTR & I think my mind is pretty much made up so apart from the test ride bike being faulty I'll probably be a proud owner in the near future.  As for the VFR can't fault it tbh apart from the sports bike tank range it's a good bike I'm just in need of a change. Bikes are like women you get one see another model & want one of them.

Hi all, I'm thinking of trading my VFR 1200 for a 2013 GTR 1400 & wondered if there's anything I oughta be looking out for, got a test ride Friday & if all goes well I'll be signing the dotted line.
