GTR Recalled

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Wicked Uncle Nigel, Jan 24, 2009.

  1. Ooh, just had a recall through for the GTR. Apparently small stones[1]
    can get jammed in the rear brake lever and make it stick on, so they
    want to fit a guard.

    Kev, you had one yet?

    [1] No, not Mick.

    Top heavy they undeniably are, but I like mine a *lot*.

    More comfy for me. Colin seems to manage, but he's fatter than me and
    has Pat to ease his aches and pains each evening.
    Before the Leffe? Shouldn't be a problem.

    They look gorgeous. Marketed as 'Concours 14' here in France now, if I
    were buying another bike, I'd go for one of them (or another FJR1300).
    Nothing else suits what I want to do with a bike: long-distance, comfy
    touring.

  5. Not to me, they don't. They looking fucking *huge*, bloated, and adorned
    with useless frippery.

    So does the GTR.

    Oh I wasn't going to bite.

    Well, telling you to **** off isn't exactly a bite, is it? More a
    matter of habit.

    Have you cured your knobs[1] dropping off?

    [1] The ones in the fairing that is.

    Yep, they fitted a new design that has securing bolts.

    Good, because it did make the bike look scruffy. Owner induced
    scruffiness is an entirely different matter.

    You mean the crate that he left behind? After we reminded him about it,
    it strapped on the pillion seat nicely.
