I have a 2016 ZZR and its on eBay as I really fancy a GTR1400

Afternoon,

I hope that you are all well.

I have had 3 or 4 ZZR's both Gen 1 and Gen 2 and now fancy a GTR.

Im looking at a  2016, its seems they come in Black and Grey, is that right ?

As its going to eb a new bike I dont suppose anything to 'look out for' but what should I expect ??

hiya Mick, and welcome to this great forum, there is plenty good advice and opinion on here 

The GTR is obviously more touring orientated, but still has the great 1400 engine.

I'm wondering if you have tried a GTR, as its a revelation  even to owners of the ZZR.

The 2016 colour choice is either Metallic Moondust Grey, or Metallic Slate Blue, Black was a 2015 colour.

What you can expect from a GTR is sore cheeks as you WILL be grinning like a loony

You won't regret it and no more chain lunging!

out of interest Mick, why the change from your 2016 ZZR ? 

[Boomer]

  You do know that the GTR  is about 40bhp down on the ZZR don't ya?
That said it is more comfy, better weather protection and smoooth!
Front end is identical, motor is Gen1 ZZR with VVT for a flatter torque curve,
I've always wanted a ZZR but no room in the garage or the budget.

Afternoon,

The reason for the change is my ZZR has done 466 miles all summer, brought it brand new from Autorama on 1st March but cant fit it into my work schedule.

A GTR i would be able to use for work occasionally. I have meetings I have to attend in the South of England and to do that on a GTR would be quite nice on a summers day, with the ZZR the riding position is stressful for me over time and big mileages, I'm 6'2.

The 40bhp down I don't mind, lets face it both ZZR and GTR are super fast bikes arnt they. How do you lot feel the GTR is, I am assuming you think it's spritely in any event

I would change the end can, fancy a Scorpion.

Grey it is then if my bike sells.

466m is what a lot of folk on here do in a day , if you get a gtr then use it , work would never get in the way of going out on the bike ,you can always squeeze in a few hours here and there if you really want to, you are into biking or your not ,   

[Busa1400]

Nightrider, you maybe right

[O.C.]

nightrider, pleased to make your acquaintance,

466m is what a lot of folk on here do in a day - bully for them

If you get a GTR then use it - Who died and left you in charge

work would never get in the way of going out on the bike, you can always squeeze in a few hours - you know my circumstances then ??

you are into biking or your not - Really

Mick, this forum is a very helpful and friendly place, don't take offence at what members say, and you'll find plenty good advice.

Nightriders rssponse is accurate as big mileages are the norm with the GTR, I'm  certain he wasn't trying to make a point at your expense.

Good luck with your sale, and purchase, will you be buying from Autorama again ?      

[Busa1400]

I am local to Autorama and they have a couple in so probably, but if i could get a couple of quid off at another dealership then i would probably travel

[O.C.]

I would think that if Autorama have  a Black GTR in stock then it would be one of the last remaining ones, it was a popular colour.

There is no difference in spec between the 2015 and 2016 bikes,

Brian at Autorama will no doubt 'sharpen his pencil' if you have no part exchange      

[Busa1400]

Thankyou

Thats what I am hoping
