My old Fazer 1000 was very tired(after 70K miles of year round use) so I treated myself to an ex demo 1300 GT at the start of the year and have since covered 15k miles.
I love the engine(far more flexible than the Fazer), yet it delivers comparable economy(47-55 mpg, depending on weather and mood!).
Being 6'1 and 15 stone, the bike fits me very well, but 100 miles is as much as I want to do before I need to stretch my legs. Handles amazing and is beautifully balanced at low speeds.
Love the toys(Cruise Control & ESA are my favourite). Indicator Switch and rear oil seal recently replaced under warranty. No other problems. I wanted a comfy bike that went like a b@st@rd and delivered 250 miles to a tank .job done(and I still enjoy riding it every day) Very impressed so far.expensive I know, but by far the best bike I have owned.
