Nice one tapps, what colour??, does it have the polished casings??

[Lonewolf]

Whatever you do, dont start polishing the metal, once you start there's no stopping.

Nice looking machine. I dont think I could ever go back to an unfaired bike but I do like the XJR's as it was the bike that resurected my biking passion a few years ago.

a mate of mine has a 'Y' reg yellow & black one,he's had it from new,the carb'd model with 53,000 on the clock,it's never missed a beat,i will not sell the GTR,i'm surprised i aint got arm's like POPEYE,it's a lovely ride,a bit of a HEAVY WEIGHT THOUGH,on the test ride on the xjr it felt agile if that make's sense,cant wait to get it on saturday.

A guy at work has one in the exact same colour, i think its on a 08 plate. he as fitted a big side car to it, him and is wife do a lot of camping, so he fitted a tow bar to the back so he can tow his trailer tent with it. It looks as big as a Eddie Stobart  truck when its fully loaded. I will post a pic of it.

Nice machine mate, I have a yellow and black y reg one with 20000 miles on. Lovely bike to ride.  Also had an 08 FI model which was a little less comfy but handled better and felt a bit more refined.

Traded that one in for my GTR.

That is VERY nice Tapps ... as Zedman says " I hope you have strong neck muscles" !! You will need them at any thing above 70 !
