Hi all, my apologies that I have not as yet determined which model of autocom I have fitted, work has run away with me...Though I did have a great ride out on Sunday morning..Cold but dry at least...Loomies are great for breakfast in Hampshire if anyone passing through!!!Will stop being lazy (only a case of lifting my seat and checking) and post autocom info this weekend. Good riding all until the snow starts. ;)

Hi all, not missing the busa at all and really happy with the GTR. My mate Ken with the GSXR has decided (after a little play on mine) that it is perhaps time to follow suit and buy a bike for the "real world we all live in" rather than a race rep that will cost him his licence the way he rides! Perhaps he should read the reviews though and he will understand that the GTR is not actually a slow bike at all when let off its leash, just a lot more comfortable! I don't commute but do like the distance stuff, I do frequent the IOM TT which is a great ride to liverpool followed by a some great roads on the island (not too mention the racing to boot). Will look at the autocom system tommorow and get the model for you. Mileage and condition-4000 lowly miles with one owner, needless to say it is in excellent condition. FSH, I reckon the previous owner purchased and did a few big tours and that was it. Thanks for the welcome gents!!!

 :)Picked up my 2008 GTR on Saturday and rode some 70 miles back to Portsmouth, my mate on his GSXR1000 moaned about the wind...What wind, that electric screen is great (last owner had fitted a touring taller version). Beowulf exhaust that really sounds great, nice riding position (just sold my Busa which crippled my knees after some distance) and lots of toys to play with. Early days I know but I read all the reviews and in comparison to some other "fast" tourers the GTR came out on top or at least a viable alternative to the "top guns". As a point of note I purchased from Oxford Performance Centre and dealt with a great guy called Mad Mike, he looked after me, never got fazed with all my questions and certainly never laughed during my frantic purchase negotiations. I got a great deal on this bike and he sneaked cleaning products/oil into the panniers and filled up the bike with a full tank of fuel while the mechanic was having a fag.  ;D All in all a top guy. Will keep you all posted on my travels, although these are likely to start in the nicer weather!!!!!Lastly, a great autocom system is fitted...gonna be great for the mrs to shout at me!
