Thinking of upgrading

[Mogster]

Noooooooooooooooooo not the 2012 ZZR....

[O.C.]

Always 

Been mulling a few choices

1. Buy a ZZR 1400 (and keep GTR)
2. Buy a 1000 SX  (and keep GTR)

3. Buy a old 636 for track days, with the remainder upgrade GTR to a second hand 2010 model

Decisions, decisions. Procrastination is one of my greatest skills

Option 4, this will keep you busy

AND IT WILL APPRECIATE IN VALUE  ....I DARE YA

I wish I could. Maybe when I have a bigger house with a quadruple garage!

I came close to upgrading this week.

Saw a green '11 model, took it for a test ride and negotiated with salesman. Told him I would mull it over and decide.

Got back on my '08 model. As soon as I set off, world of difference, manly because of the time and effort in setting bike up. And the 08 engine is wonderfully run in, not tight like the '11 model

Which then got me thinking do I want to change? Uming and arring over the next few days, with LW telling me to just f****** do it!

Eventually decide that its probably worthwhile getting a newer bike just so I'm covered by warranty.

Call dealer and bike is already sold.

Came as a bit of relief actually. Now I really am in two minds if I want to upgrade.

.. cummon Asif you know that a new GTR will feel like a comfy pair of slippers within a week ...take the plunge

Go on Asif - go for it!

Ultimately if you are wanting to stick to GTR's and we hope you do, your'e going to find yourself in a position where you will want/need to upgrade. Your last major repair, the rad at £600+ had you thinking, shall I sell? What are you going to do next time?

Get yours part ex'd for a magnesium one and you'll be thrilled to bits.

There is no reasoning with you lot!

Come on Asif .. stop arsing about and keeping us all in suspenders ... buy it NOW !

I must say Kwikas that mr Wolf has got a point, I think it would be prudent to change sooner rather than later, as your bike will only cost more in repairs as the miles rack up. One option would be to wait until winter is back upon us, at which time prices will drop. But I think prices are only cheaper if you are buying from a private seller. If you intend to part ex yours at a dealer I dont think the price drop will apply. Any way I am sure that you will make the right decision, that includes buying a green one ,and not one of those dragged through a muddy field brown ones.

Deep down I think he's tempted and I wouldn't be surprised if at the Cotswolds meet there's  a new GTR in the gang.
