Hey Debs .. Perhaps you could take it back down to Hungary for him and run it in ! 

[Debs]

I could do that, and do a report...

Most excellent indeed!

Thanks all for the welcome.

Looking forward to NEC to see all the 2015 models. As I said at the moment the GTR is looking favourite for my next mount. As I see it :

K1600 - great but cost too much
Rt1200 - always loved these but not sure the new model is better than the old and more of a solo ride than two up ( one of the reasons I want to trade up from the GSX - going to do much more two up touring)
FJR - not sure it offers anything over the GTR and doesn't look as good
Trophy - would be to worried about it breaking down ( probably unfair I know) and it's to much like a armchair on wheels ( I want a sports tourer )
ST - might as well stick with the GSX

Don't want to be a boardman look alike so that rules out all the " adventure" bikes

Welcome any thoughts on my thinking above

Welcome along...as WS says don't dismiss the RT without looking it over,....the GTR is a great bike and manages to tick a lot of boxes, it is, however, a little 'long in the tooth' nowadays, maybe a new model will be even better    

Hi

I am a recent joiner and GTR1400 owner, absolutely everything that you need to know is in here somewhere and if you cant find it then someone will always point you in the right direction.
Before buying my GTR I tried the new RT, a K1300GT and a Trophy.  When I decided to change my old bike I had my heart set on a K1300GT, I rode one and it was great and I was about to buy it until I thought that I might as well at least try the others.  The Trophy was too big and a bit boring...the GTR took my breath away.  It was just so easy to ride, you can amble around nice and gently or you can launch it...hit 4500 rpm and hold on.  I bought the GTR and love it.  Costs less to service and was £1000 cheaper than the BMW and a lot more fun.  A couple of days ago I missed the heated seat though!

Welcome along, as I said above ........I had a K1300GT EE and didn't get on with it...nuff said

I trust you got the Black one and not the Sickly Silver one?   

[shaggs147]

Looks great with the pin stripe

[Charlie747]

Looks like Lloyd Coopers showroom ?

[Debs]

If you had bought it from Bournemouth Kawasaki you could have got it today. They are open as they have 32 new bikes being collected by customers.

Congrats, that looks very nice indeed.
