Hello from Essex

[O.C.]

Me, I turn 50 this year  but I'm still way younger than the codger-brigade on here. 

You're only a young 'un George...compared to some (including me) on here ya know 

[Silverback]

VirginiaJim, thanks, welcome to you too

Alibx, yep, it is an amazing present, can't wait to see if she can better it in the future, i'm thinking not...

Boomer, thats good, would be good to meet up and get out there when the weather improves. Silverback comes mainly from size, and the way i drag my knuckles on the floor apparently. It's seems we haven't all evolved at the same rate :-)

Don't forget me from Cambridge!  :-)  Welcome to the mad house!

Welcome Silverback

Me to Boomer..

Right, that's the garage finally sorted and ready for the bike to arrive tomorrow.

Having read quite a lot on the forum though, i do have some concerns and hope i haven't made a terrible mistake.

Thing is, I'm getting a black one!!! 

Now the dealership told me the black one is by far and away the fastest colour, and lets be honest, it stands to reason doesn't it, I mean look at Usain Bolt, now he's as fast a f***!!!! Anyway, there are some of you on here who seem to think the Magnesium one is faster, I've even seen someone claim the green one is faster!!!!!!

Can anyone put my mind at ease please, and assure me i've done the right thing, I'm clinging to the fact that many of you claim this forum to be an asylum, and these claims are just wild delusions.....

Anyway, here's hoping the bike arrives nice and early.

GREEN is currently the fastest colour,   

My 2009 GTR was Metallic midnight  Saphire Blue, which at the time was also the fastest colour available

My 2008 GTR was Metallic Diablo Black which was (again) the fastest colour of the day

Silverback you will love your GTR whatever colour it is, and I bet you just can't wait.....can you ? 

W will require pictures...of course

Silverback you have not made a terrible mistake, BLACK is definitely the fastest colour ( i am on my second black one, so i know ). The magnesium one is for the ladys and the green one is for the OAPs Enjoy your super fast BLACK GTR

Thank you for that, it has definitely put my mind at rest.

Nope i can't wait, Seems like I've been waiting for months for this.

Photo's will follow if i can figure out how to, I'm not too good with technology.

Your all deluded its not common knowledge but Mr Kawasaki told me when I bought my blue 2009 GTR that it was the last of the really fast GTRS available and that all future models would be slightly detuned no matter what model or year..... Just thought I would let you all know!

[zedmeister]

Blue is definaterly the most desirable colour, fastest, most flickable, most bad ass out there, i have had 2 black ones, and defo can say blue is the best at everything. Magnesium is not a colour its all the mixed left over paint from the LADA factory.

If everything goes to plan i hope to have my 4th GTR in march, spark Black!!! and then this one will be the fastest one lol 

[virginiajim]

Oh, please, for goodness sakes.  You're all wrong.  Silver Neutron in the States is the fastest colour.

Jim, A Burgundy colour on the GTR used to be available in the States, is that still the case ?

I've always thought that it is a lovely colour for the bike, but it never been available over here

[stoketim]

jim i have to agree they are all to scared to even mention the silver ones

You know, I think that's correct.  I don't exactly remember the year but I'm thinking 2009...  After further research, 2012 had a Candy Arabian Red...  I like the 09 better personally...
