Welcome aboard from a member with the same year and model.  Bought Oct 18. Can't wait for better weather to put a few miles on it but loving it so far.

I'm fairly sure you won't be disappointed with it.

Thanks mate

TL1000 - that would be "The Widowmaker", wonder what put her off?

I've got the detuned SV1000 and my wife refuses to get on that.
She'll love the gtr it really is a great bike for touring, we've been all over Europe on ours.

Enjoy

Hi Pross,
All I did was click on the Attachments button at the bottom of the Reply screen, then select the two pictures from my hard drive. Does that not normally work?

Hi all,
Back from our France trip to my brothers, really pleased with the 1400. Very comfortable no trouble doing the 200 miles between fuel stops, handled really well when fully loaded, engine was sublime, we had horrendous rain nearly all the way home from Folkestone she never faulted. Returned 51mpg over the whole journey, I think that is bloody good as it's a lot of motorway travel ..... including a speeding fine in France!!........... the letter arrived a few days after we got home.
Any of you thinking of a European trip DO IT! the bike is perfect.

[Rusty]

So glad to hear you had a great time .. never mind about the speeding ticket ! There is a lot of space out there to ride and its generally warmer than back here in Blighty 
Spain Portugal and then a few days in Luxembourg were on my menu this year .. and none of it disappointed !

[Bluesman]

Cheers Rusty
