Kwak GTR1400
 

Is it me or does this bike look damn good?

According to TWO it's technically good, some fancy shaft drive system and some equally fancy variable valve timing system

but it looks like a proper beast of a thing to own the road on

It's you !! :p

IF I was in the market for this type of bike it would have to be the 'original' one - The Goldwing - or failing that a Pan European

HTH

haha yeah i'm not really into a tourer, but it looked quite macho, the goldwing looks abit more poofy :safe:

Re: Kwak GTR1400
 

I agree that the Goldwing looks a bit camp (in a nice sort of way), whereas the GTR1400 looks a muscular beast, but there's no doubt in my mind as to which I'd prefer to tour on. Low revving and torque-laden is what I like when 2 up with a pillion. If you're going to make concessions about comfort/luxury/luggage capacity on a "tourer", why not go the whole hog and buy the 2008 Busa and whack a touring screen and some hard panniers on it?

Re: Kwak GTR1400
 

According to ride it's called the 1400GTR as opposed to GTR1400, marketing people must have been having a slow day.

I like it myself, just couldn't see myself on a Goldwing or Pan, but I do like the fancy toys you get with it, keyless starty thing just to confuse people.

I want one. Load up the panniers and top box, stick girlfriend on the back, clear off to the lake district or something at 160mph

yeah not a bad little speed that!

goldwings are pretty awsome in their own way, but i think whilst i'm not grey and wrinkly, perhaps the more beefcakey bikes would be preferred

also anyone ridden a shaftie? it looks pretty slick on it

Looks a beast, wouldn't mind a go. Don't think I'd fit one down the side of the car on the drive though!
