I'm feeling the itch

Had 3 versys then gtr then back to versys ( mk1s I must add) then another mk1 versys very quickly followed by a mk2 versys all being brand new grand tourers and then late last year came back to the 2016 gtr GT , so pleased , yes heavier that's the only thing I'd say to put down the gtr.

I know beauty is in the eye of and all that, but the only bike in the current Kawasaki range I would buy on looks is the Ninja650.

We're straying off topic I know, but I think the ZZR1400 Performance Sport looks stunning. I was so tempted but realistically the GTR will better suit the riding ahead of me.

My mate as just bought the ZZR 1400 in blue....me I've always gone for tourers as we both like a bit of comfort.

You folks are always banging on about the GTR's weight.
I've come from a Goldwing GL1500. Now that's weight! Goldwings have a reverse gear, which is extremely handy.
Would a reverse gear on the GTR be a valuable addition?
Or is this apparent weight problem more involved than that?

It's not the weight for me so much, it's just the what if factor. If I think it's heavy a quick ride on the blood bike trophy sorts that.
As I said a few kgs. lighter would've be nice but not necessary. It's all academic really I've been for a ride    but tha thanks for your replies.

It's not heavy unless it falls on you..

it's heavy when your legs aren't working properly
