hi,
thank you all for your help and advice,  i am definitely leaning towards a newish second hand with low miles if possible,
i look forward to updating this post, hopefully with a couple of pics ....

hello all, just joined and looking for my first GTR

You do occasionally see the pre 2010 models advertised via dealers even Kawasaki dealers but with post 2010 plates on them. I can't see personally what the issue is, the only observation I would make is that if it is new then I wouldn't expect to pay as much for an older new one than a newer new one!    That makes sense to me, hopefully it does to you too. 

thank you for the help, will speak to garage monday , and get some further info....

I'm also confused about the years that you have quoted, are you saying that the bike has sat in a dealers showroom for 9 years  ? 

If that is the case I would be looking elsewhere      or at the very least getting the bike thoroughly checked over, serviced and fully warranted

The GTR is basically a reliable machine but any bike left standing for that length of time is IMHO a bit of a risk



EDIT: I just looked at that bike and whilst it looks great it is to me an import from the States Red wasn't offered here.... and D & C aren't authorised Kawasaki dealers     
thank you OC,

Can you confirm both those years?  Seems a long time to sit in a showroom
