HI,

I actually joined in 2015 fully expecting to buy a GRiSO but at the last minute went a different direction and bought a modded Harley XR1200. It was great for a year but I moved it on and looked towards the GRiSO again and in the middle of 2016 was on the cusp of buying what was probably the last brand new model left in the UK when I decided to scratch the itch that was a Kawasaki ZRX1200, (also rather modded) All the while retaining my beloved BMW R1200S. Anyways... I have finally today put a deposit down on a privately owned 2016 one owner 1800 mile bog standard red devil. Pics to follow as I have yet to arrange collection. The current owner has kindly agreed to keep it garaged and covered until I can sort my life out. A thoroughly nice chap.

P.S. Anyone interested in a Kwack or a Beemer?...

I too owned a couple of Kawasaki’s in the Cryptozoic era. Let us not speak of that again.

Welcome to the Ghetto! I've had three Kawasakis in my lifetime - all quite a while ago. 175 2-stroke (first bike ever), 500 triple and a KZ750. The triple was by far the most entertaining of the lot.

Thanks for the welcomes fella's. I should have it delivered by the middle of next week. It shall then sit in the garage until around May which is the usual start of the season here in good old chilly and wet Blighty.

Hi there, Just up the road from you in Luton. You've done the right thing. I bought a GRiSO, sold it tried a couple of other things then went back to a GRiSO last year.

You'll love it.
