2011 bike 2009 model

Thanks for all your help guys, I'm going to stick with it as I don't think the dealer tried to pull one over, more like I should have done my home work. I paid £7995 for it but got £4500 for my old pan 04 bog standard which was a lot more than what others offered. It's got 12k on the clock and does look lovely, really looking forward to using it.

Caveat emptor. Buyer beware.

If it's an '11 plate, then it was first registered in 2011. I'd be asking why it was sat around for 2 years...

My personal opinion is you paid too much for an 09 model. But, if you were happy with the trade in on your Pan, then it probably all works out in the end

Cheers

Hello and welcome to the madhouse 
A dealer on auto trader a few months ago was trying to sell an 08/09 model imported unregistered for 10 thousand when I was looking around.
I had an 09 couldn't fault it .
As some one said the problem may be in when you sell on or p/X.
Enjoy it if your happy.

Last years model can get stuck on a dealers showroom floor for many years. Not a fault of the bike just everyone looking for the latest model.

It's not what the dealer asked for it. It's not what the px is. It's the difference between these prices that matters that is the price you paid.

The bike looks good in the pictures and has done little mileage.

I would just go enjoy the thrust and fun of a GTR

Be grateful it is not a K 1600. Lol!

Most definitely a Gen 1 08-09.  Like mentioned the fairing sides are totally different and the two tone grey/ black seat is a dead give away.  I sold my '08 and got an '11, and often wish I had the 08 back.  Not as many bells and whistles as the gen 2, but the earlier bike just felt better, and actually ran better than my '11. 

Be happy with the bike, it is a keeper for sure.     tp USA
