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

Mick,

I think deep down, you know the answer: the ZZR is a beast of a toy which you'd wheel out of the garage for a Sunday of tarmac terrorism (screaming through the twisties), where as the GTR is a capable of crossing continents (at high speed if you so desire) or could be used as a daily commute. (It's also good fun through the twisties, I assure you!)

I recently did a 5000 mile round trip with a mate; me on my GTR, him on his ZZR. We had to stop every hour so my mate could "unfold" himself and get movement back in his knees. He was slightly envious of my more comfortable riding position, and I didn't have to check the chain every thousand miles

Cheers. And welcome, btw.

I also sold my 2015 ZZR for a 2016 GTR, i changed because i was not comfy on the ZZR and also i felt like it wanted to be ridden faster and faster and i found myself with 8 points in no time, the GTR is far tamer than the ZZR but handles surprisingly well and the riding position is great.

you wont be sorry as the GTR is a cracking bike.

Congrats on both the sale of the ZZR and your new purchase! I hope the weather is good enough this weekend so you can properly test the GTR

...good news, I'm sure you will be thrilled with your GTR

Did you do the deal at Autorama,  and did you go for Silver ?

Morning,

I ended up with 12 points from the ZZR - 36 in 30, 36 in 30 and then 84 in 60 - managed to keep my licence due to a special reasons argument but as a brief it really isn't the way forward.

I did go with the silver at Autorama, and whilst I didn't want the top box - i just wanted the side panniers, for the cost of having the top box and sat nav holder i went for that aswell, and asked that they take it off and change the plate to the smaller one. I'll just keep the top box in the garage.

If I undestand correctly, being  a "brief" and gaining speeding points wouldn't be exactly 'recommended'
