***********************************************************************************
28,000 miles, recent big service, (@27,000) shims / plugs / coolant.
Oil and filter about 1000 miles ago, air filter changed within 18 months, still really good.
New TPS sensors fitted just after purchase, 2 years last May, free of fault.
Mot till May, Perrelli Angel GT's (1200 miles) and new battery early this year.
Genuine Kawasaki crash bars, R&G bobbins on front axles and swinging arm.
Stainless radiator guard, front fender extender, rear hugger.
Switchback LED driving lights / front indicators, pilot LED's under mirrors.
Givi rack allowing use of all Givi MonoKey (inc. Maxia which I use) top boxes.
Double USB in facia, great for charging phones in tank pocket and SatNav.
Delkevnic 350mm stainless oval silencer and link pipe (fitted) with original silencer in good condition (10 mins to swap).
Auxiliary fuse box in fairing, relay fed, on ignition, ready for all accessories.
Daytona heated grips, with Grip Puppies fitted.
Laminar lip with spare sticky pads.
Rear footrests converted for "Rubber" covered (comfort!) ones, originals available.
Wiring prepared for 12v in top box & auxiliary stop lamps.
Home made 40mm bar risers fitted, work well for me.
Protective film fitted on panniers, both in very good condition.
Two fobs (1 is almost brand new!) and spare key for tank / seat / pannier.
Bagster tank cover for 2007 - 2010 GTR, good condition, colour close to bike!
Recently back from holiday this year, could do with a clean but pictures illustrate "real" condition.
I love this bike, the way goes, and how it covers the distance, but after buying a smaller bike to use as a commuter (the GTR doesn't belong in traffic jams or doing filtering!) it is a waste being garaged waiting for the next day out or tour!
Obviously there are age related marks, small bits of flaking by battery cover, boot rub on frame, but for a 9 year old bike it's in good condition.
Been offered a sensible PX with the bike in basic spec, no farlkes, so offering here to allow a better deal than you'll find at a dealers.
Bike available to view in Newport Shropshire (between Telford and Stafford) 40 mins from Birmingham.
Any ?'s please PM me.

Don't do it 

[Icefever]

Don't do it....think of the children...   anyway what will you use this Sunday???

[Lonewolf]

Do it and buy another Beemer, a GSA to compliment the other GS.

What I would really like is the 90bhp F800GT motor in a F700GS frame!
Still undecided, the tested GT is a great little tool, SWMBO liked the pillion as much as the GTR, just up front was a tad smaller.
Certainly capable of touring at 80 70 with plenty to overtake.
The big K's on EBay also, if it don't go saves me the hassle of change!
Will still be on the GTR Sunday unless notes are waved under me nose!

Have a play on an R1200RS. I guarantee it'll put a smile on your face 

As an aside, I traded in my '59 plate GTR with 22k on the clock, and I was offered £4500. I asked what the trade in value would be if I took all the extras off and put it back to standard. The answer I got? £4500

So I put it back to standard and have so far sold the extras for £600-ish, with a few more bits still to sell.

Food for thought, hopefully.

Cheers

Gone to a dealer as part of  a deal, think it'll be at the The Carole Nash Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show, Stafford Show Ground this weekend if your heading there.
Now to get some redundant bits moved on!

In the garage is now a 955i Triumph Speed Triple, total change! The one bike I regret moving on more than any other is my old Tiger 1050, been looking for a cheap trumpet for a while, found one and the dealer desperately wanted my GTR. So, triumph and a very substantial cheque came my way! Will use my F700gs for tours once I get a pair of panniers!  I'll miss the engine of the GTR, but only really used it for purpose 2 weeks a year on holiday. So fettle and play time on an old new toy!  :) I just love that engine! 😎

congratulations on your new bike I hope you enjoy it very much.

The GTR is a fabulous bike but if your not using it for longer trips etc then maybe it's underutilised.

BTW the Blue colour is lovely
