Welcome aboard.
Good choice, I bought a BMW RT1200 when moving from a Harley, thought something that would tour and give "pleasure" but it was not for me, a bit sluggish and cramped two up, I sold it after four weeks and bought a GTR, 2009. Really great bike, does everything.
Good luck, ride safe.

I was North of Scotland and travelled to where I live in Central Scotland, not (proper South!!!!!!) You need to experience the lovely roads up here and up North.

Hi,
glad to join you all.Bought a 2009 GTR yesterday in Blue, rode 150 miles back and really enjoyed it.Have had a variety of bikes starting with a BSA bantam in my younger days,BSA Lightening,Norton Dominator,Suzuki T200, Honda VFR 750, Honda CB750, Honda Blackbird, Yamaha FJR1300, Honda Pan ST1300, Harley Road King, Harley Ultra Glide 1600 then decided after two years of Harley's, a great scene but I missed a bit of "umph". So Harley gone bought a BMW R1200RT. Could not get on with this, better half did not like being on the back, looked at BMW 1300 GT but it does not have good looks, then I saw a GTR, well looks are great, write ups good, so bought one.
We live in central Scotland and are planning trips North very soon.
Hope I have not bored you all.

cheers,
Ed
