A tentative wave and a business like nod .

Hello all,

I've put the deposit down on a new GTR 1400, just waiting for it to come in. It should be on my drive 01/03/17, so this is just a warm up hello. A little bit of bike history just so you can have a little insight.... Started out about 500 years ago on a Puch Maxi (purple) had about 5 Vespa's then got into cars. Took my bike test in 2009 got a Honda CBF 600, then a Suzuki Hayabusa, changed that 2 and a half years ago for a Kawasaki Z1000SX and now just waiting for the tour bus that is the GTR 1400.
I look forward to getting to know some of you lot :)

  I understand your comments regarding tour bus and agree, built for touring, top of the range, cruise for mile after mile in comfort, with style - admiring glances -  and is the envy of many. 

I had an SX prior to my GTR awesome bike.You will find it a totally different Animal the SX being Raw the GTR being refined.

Welcome aboard. Bought mine new in December coming from ZZR 1400. Still running in.

Good choice. Fortunately you did not make the mistake of getting K16. That would have wiped the smile off your face!

I don't know what you see in it.
Big bulky and clunky.
Whereas the GTR is totally the opposite.
You've made the right choice Mr Weird Beard. Welcome.
