I wonder if he has it yet?  ;D

[Rusty]

I bet he is on it NOW ... smiling like a child at Christmas time.... playing with the power and "cooing" at all the bright lights  ;D
And when he gets it home .. he'll give it a wash off .... i did  ;D
Enjoy the bike mate !

Just wait until he's run her in and gives her the full beans for the first time.
BANZAI!!!!  ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8)

Welcome to the GTR and I hope your first day on her was a hoot!
Mine wasn't. I rode her 8 miles home and then went away for 5 days,... in the car.  :(
I spent all of those 5 days reading the Owners Manual,... over and over. <LOL>
15 minutes after we got home I went for a good 4 hour / 200 mile ride.
That was fun!  ;D

[Lonewolf]

I think he's still out on it! :) :)

Welcome aboard.
Good choice, I bought a BMW RT1200 when moving from a Harley, thought something that would tour and give "pleasure" but it was not for me, a bit sluggish and cramped two up, I sold it after four weeks and bought a GTR, 2009. Really great bike, does everything.
Good luck, ride safe.

Right now he should be giving it an oil change.

Hey folks. Thanks for all your notes. I've been sooooo busy since I picked up the bike. Fortunately I live 30 miles from my dealer, so had a nice saunter back home. Popped out yesterday for a another stint around the block.

I do really like it, but I'm also keen to run it in properly, so nothing terribly exciting yet. I did almost forget to turn into a corner when I was out yesterday (oops) and had to gently overtake a couple of s..l..o..w people out in their cars.

All booked in for first service next Friday! I'll easily do over 500 miles this week taking it to work every day. Looking forward to the week after, but will still be taking it gently as I get used to it and run it in for the second 500 miles the week after.

I'll take some snaps when I'm out one day. :)
