Are you folks in U.K. getting what Kawasaki calls GTPP (Good Time Protection Plan)? or is this an interloper insurance coverage?

Here in U.S.A. we have GTPP, which is directly underwritten by Kawasaki, not a third party, and also the policy extends the original 36 month (USA) one by another 36 months, on top of that as long as your current (or extended) policy is in effect, you can purchase an additional one.

As the prior Technical Editor of The Concours Owners Group, I can say anyone that intends to get 10 years out of this bike is foolish for not extending. We have a dealership here that will sell these (US only) for $339 / 36 months.
TPM's cost that much alone, and we are all getting them replaced....Oh, warning, the new replacements are potted, and you cannot replace the battery in them at all... hold on to your old sensors....

I have followed this bike since prior to purchase, I bought my 08 on 7/07/2007...
there are plenty of issues we have seen here that make that plan well worth having, I am on my third.

Did you just post a pic of yer better half under the heading "my rides" ??? 

MOB, I'm assuming that the finger is a term of endearment in your relationship with Mrs MOB. 

A lot of us U.S. riders are also into the Adventure (ADV) website.

We do a sort of "tag" game, we call it "Tag-O-Rama", where you see a pic of a bike posted somewhere, and figure out where it is, ride there, photo your bike, and post it for a "grab", then you post a "Tag" and someone else goes after it... I broke the wife in for L/D riding on that game, and the "Salute" is called the "ADV Salute"...
she's a natural at it.... and now gives it every shot she's in along with the bike....

I don't have a lot of photos of the bike, it's kinda hard to shoot them while riding...











momma doesn't like riding the ferry....
