  Plenty of very useful info plus a load of bollox on occasion but all in a humorous tone. If you want to know anything about your new P&J just ask. No such thing as a silly question, only a silly answer.

Thanks for the comments - here's the bike outside Tillston motorcycles in Stockton

mighty fine looking bike there colour not to bad either you won't be sorry you invested in the gtr.. good choice

[Teacher]

Thanks again . I do like the titanium 2kwacks.
Are there any major issues with the GTR? I've been reading some stuff about drive shafts and rear shock problems?
This is my second kawaski, had a Z750 back in 04 but changed to Honda ( VFR) then the Blackbird.
I think the GTR looks superb and hopefully will be doing some touring next year. Being a teacher gives me some long holiday periods

drive shafts ?, well dont worry about it, just ensure your drive shaft oil gets changed regular, some dealers forget to do it so id get it done as soon as and then stay on top, personally i have mine done every time the main oil is changed. you can get a replacement DS off an ebay breaker for 200 beer tokens.  Rear shock, a few on here have had the adjuster sieze , more than once which has resulted in a new shocker, the remedy is to turn the adjuster on a reguar basis and spray oil  or 3 in 1 oil into the knob, unbolt the adjuster and let it hand upside down overnight for the oil to seep in, id do this asap, if your prev owner never touched the adjuster it could already be very stiff.
great colour choice , this was us today up Winnats pass
