Hi all from Sheffield

[O.C.]

I've had my GTR for about 3 weeks now and love it. I came to it from a Tiger Explorer. I tested the VFR 1200 amongst other bikes, I had half a day on it, the dealer brimmed the tank and I still had to put some more fuel in to get back to the shop lol, its a lovely bike but very thirsty.

I travelled over 130 miles to go and see my GTR, something I have never done but it was more than worth it. Its powerful enough for me, handles brilliantly (I've nearly lost my chicken strips haha) looks good and is more comfy than the VFR. The only thing I find awkward is filling it up, I don't know how or if the big key comes out so I have to use the spare key in the fob to open the tank, its a faff but its the only negative I can think of.

Vixer, pop along to your local Timpson key cut kiosk, take the small spare key from the credit card sized fob with you, and get them to cut you a spare, this will make the fuel fill up procedure much easier....... leave the cooker key in situ

What can I say test ride over, grinning like a Cheshire Cat  Stonking engine, armchair comfort & handles well for a beast, say no more. Deposit paid..roll on 29th when I pick up the big girl.
Unfortunately not be making the group meet this year I'll be setting off for the annual tour of Black Forest via cochem & obviously the Nurburgring...

After a 3 week wait I finally picked up the GTR. A trip over the woodhead pass this morning to exchange the vfr for the big girl wasn't the order of the day with a full blown snow blizzard, not good on 4 wheels as I saw a few that'd left the road so for me on 2 wheels made me wish I'd had the GTR delivered  but I was there so no turning back. I finally arrived in Manchester shiny side up. All paperwork signed & tax/insurance sorted, the trip back wasn't what I'd imagined, instead of fun goin the long way home on some real roads I decided to go all motorway which was just as bad as the woodhead pass, snow blizzards followed by heavy fog, torrential rain then high winds but we made it impressed how the big girl handled it all. So after a long tiring day concentrating so hard I thought it'd  be wise just to fit the scorpion exhaust thanks to markmacd, sat nav also fitted as well as adjusting the gear lever, brake/clutch lever angles & throttle free play (Personaly I don't like too much, next to none tbh). I am now ready for tomorrow & some real roads, playtime

That's great news, post some pictures when you get chance, and congrats on your new bike and surviving the journey
