HI
I know where you are coming from. I have just brought a Touring bike for the first time. (having spent many years on sports bikes etc).
Like you I was impressed with the GTR against most other bikes in the same class. I ended up with a 57 plate with 3250 miles on the clock, full luggage, gel seat, lowered rear pegs, (a god send), and a tall Kawasaki screen. I did not like the screen found it extremly noisy at the top and at the low end it felt like the wind was going to rip my neck off. Tried a Mira screen (what a complete waste of money) looked at the laminar lip, then thought. I already have one on the Mira screen so took that off and fitted on the Kawasaki big screen oh boy what a differance and what a pleasure to ride.
The bike came with some shitty Bridgestones on they were crap. fitted the new Pilot 3 again what a differance, fuel consumption good as well have got 210 miles two up touring at a steady 85-90. will say that when you give it a go (as I did on the TT) the comsuption dropped to 130. but compare that with my Gxsr 1000 (still have) I was lucky to get 60 miles out of the tank around the TT.
Have read on this forum re vibration and brake problems which seem to be on the newer bikes, I have to say not seen that on my bike (touch wood and hope not to). the only down side for me is being a short arse is getting my feet fully down, I find that the posistion of the pegs a little arkward and get them stuck in my boots, so I tend to flip them up, it works for me,
She who must be obayed loves the comfort factor on the back seat, the luggage space in the side panniers and top box is brillant and waterproof, we were both amazed what we packed for this years TT.
Overall for me as a first touring bike it ticks all the boxs and for the price its a lot of bike. If asked would I recomend it would be a
As a newbie and my first post I hope this helps you on your decission
