GTR is a bike I liked from when they first came out. My bike is new, so a lot of the niggles of the first couple of years have been ironed out.
Smooth engine, lots of toys like electric screen, traction,ABS, multi function on the dash for fuel,tyre pressures etc.
However there is absolutely no underseat storage ! just a small cubby box in the fairing which cannot even take the owners hand book !! So my bulb kit,first aid kit, tyre kit and all the rest now HAS to go in a tank bag.
Shaft drive, though now I am no longer doing the high mileages [ I will retire from the fire service in June ], chain maintainence is not such an issue.
Fairing mounted mirrors take some remembering,and with the hard luggage fitted, the bike feels really wide.
It does not feel as heavy as a Pan or RT, but heavier than a Vstrom.
The exhaust is huge, but I cannot see it when I am riding.
