No Gtr

[PRD]

If the GTR did not exist what we ride. I only want shaft drive so the choice is a bit limited these days. BMW offer a range of shaft drive bikes but I have had them in the past and had problems with them. OC's bike looks good but wonder about pillion comfort. Any thoughts?

fjr1300 or an 1800 goldwing

The K1600 is proving quite popular at the moment!

There are even some on here

Yamaha Super Tenere is what I ride,  ......no reliability problems with this superbly built bike.

Must be thoughts in the wind - I have just been going through the same exercise. I'm probably going to change my steed end of 2016 and the only one in my mind is the K1600GTL - we had an 1800 Goldwing before the GTR and the GTR holds more when touring unless you added the trailer which tended to make filtering a bugger. My concerns were brushed aside ie amount of trips I tend to do to Europe, we would still have something fast, smooth, reliable, easy to keep clean, corrosion resistant, sophisticated, well equipped, high service intervals, with lots of dealers across the UK & Europe - deciding factor was the wife liked the rear seat comfort on the test ride.

I loved my previous bike [Vstrom 1000], and would probably go along those lines again. Possibly BMW F800GS, or Versys.

Never seen one in black yellow ........looks good.............not sure if it's me though but would be good for a blast on a hot day on the French Riviera 

I look for shaft drive as it is a long life solution to final drive..............so choices are BMW Moto Guzzi early MV Agusta a handful of other product from a variety of manufactures

Really enjoy my Old War Horse and can't see us parting although others may come join and leave

Charlie would you ever seriously consider a K16?

When I was having loads of hassle with the dealer who I bought my GTR from, had 6 hours to muse over their current stock!
If they hadn't fixed mine I was gonna try the Crosstourer (bland but a VFR motor?  gotta be good!) or a new 1000 Versys - if only it was a shaftie!
