Nice one Sticky ... I was really happy with my GTR until I borrowed a Gs from a chap at work for a couple of days to keep it running for him whilst he was away .... That was it .. I needed one there and then. I went from supremely smooth and fast to clankety clank clank and really fast .. just not turbine smooth fast ! They are a great bike and whilst I always say that I would never buy another one I have started looking at the alternative but with a german badge on it 

Howard/Nigel whichever you may be,
I tested the GS last week. I took out the GS, the ST and the K1600.
If I were to choose one it would be the ST but the engine, being 2 cylinders, just wasn't smooth enough for me. Changing from a Goldwing with a super smooth inline 6 engine I wanted something as smooth but lighter. The GS was fun to ride but wouldn't suit as a tourer. The ST was a lovely handling bike but as i say I didn't like the engine and the K1600 was neither smooth or light and very clunky. I was really disappointed with it.
The GTR ticks every one of my boxes.
I pick up Peter's ex on the 1st of next month and can't wait to ride her (sorry him, he's name is Grant so must be a male) home.
I've already ordered a Laminar Lip!

That's a bronze medal    but an improvement

Grant is sitting very happily in my garage today.
I collected her, sorry him, from Wheels yesterday lunchtime.
Rode up the A1 and A52 to Bottesford to see my sister and then my mum.
Then back down to Barking to visit my aunt and then to Hornchurch for a pint with a couple of mates.
Arrived home at 1am this morning and introduced her (him! I'll get used to her being him soon!) to the garage.
Got up early this morning to tinker, as you do!
Happy days!
