I think you should try one but as nutty says it isnt a bike to sit on motorways but then again neither is that Katoom but you do alright on it

Yes, got to try one !!

i rode a GT16 before purchasing the RT lc..as written above it is a rocket ship on the move and very comfortable over long distance, more so than an RT. parking it up at night into my garage and getting it out in the morning was the only thing that stopped me purchasing as it was soooo heavy. The early ones ALL pulled to the left , but I'm pretty sure that is sorted now along with leaking water pumps on them…i think you will enjoy it .

The XR will give you Vibes…..literally

I suspect this is the reason the first owner of my bike only did 146m before he px'ed for a GS.

Up to a point I agree with the above, however I don't think the weight itself is the problem - it's a big bike that's never going to be light.

I'm guessing the weight is carried high up, this requires extra care when moving the bike around by hand. Once the the bike leaves the vertical it gets very heavy, very quickly.

Surprisingly, once moving even at walking pace this top heavy feel vanishes completely.
