Here we go.....my friend has owned a 12 plate gt for about five years and has done around 20k miles on it . Engine bar wise Heed is the way to go . Make sure all the electrical switches work . Make sure u keep the radiator clean and change the coolant as they can run very hot . Fuel consumption is mid to high 40s on a trip . Learn how to properly check the oil level as it has a dry sump and there is a certain way to do it. He uses B32 tyres on it and the wear is surprisingly good . If u can get one with the reverse gear then its a help . He loves the bike and other then a knackered battery.....his fault.....it has never gone wrong . Sounds fantastic when trashed in a tunnel !!
If I fitted one I'd buy one in a heartbeat.........that said the Gs will destroy it in tight twistys......but for everything else it is the business .
