New owner from Peterborough area

[Deepingdj]

Just brought a year old GTR from wheels in Peterborough, traded in my Varadero.  I was going to get a new one with the finance deal that Kawasaki are offering but got a good deal on the year old bike and it's only done 1100 mile and has lots of assesories fitted (Two Bros exhaust etc).

Tried a couple of demonstrators and really impressed with the bike, looking forward to going to wsbk in Monza in May.

Greetings to you all from your latest member. Recently bought black 57 plate from Dasad and so far every time I start it up it brings a smile to my face! Only very minor issues at present; being tall and wide, I find the screen to be a tad inadequate and the bars a bit low, but sure you will all come up with easy fixes to these two problems.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Sounds like you need some raisers and a new screen. What height are you?

[Gonome]

Hi Kwikasfuki,
Thanks for the very prompt reply. 6' 2" when bootless.

[Kwikasfuki]

You probably need a Calsci L or XL. The Cee Baileys Ultra Tour is a good one as well, although a lot more heavier and wider.

Top man, will look into it. Thank you. UK importer?
