Roll on, September!

[Nutty]

I don't normally wish time away, but the order has been placed, and my Triple Black GSA is in production. Well, it will be when those lazy fuckers return from their holidays!

And, yes, it will be receiving some custom paintwork before I take delivery!

Akra Ti system with black silencer is ready to fit, along with lots of other goodies.

Plenty of time to start buying all the little bits and pieces

 

[Micky]

Good one Nutty .... enjoy

Time will be going so slowly, well it did for me back in Feb/March after I ordered mine. It seemed everyone else was getting their new GSA in two weeks and I had to wait seven.

I'm sure when it comes it will have been worth the wait.

In the same boat Nutty however I have a three and a half week holiday in the states to take my mind of the wait from mid August so maybe not as painful as you

I already bought most bits earlier in the year!

The wait shouldn't be too bad.

Nutty old boy, im in the same boat, ordered mine 2 weeks ago and my 2014 GSA is now with them............. all my black bits including the Akro waiting patiently in my garage for a new home.

Your blue one was much nicer

Have you started counting sleeps yet? I haven't. Yet!

Wait till you see the black one, once it's had it's customisation.

what happened to the KTM idea?

He realised it was a crap idea...

 

[Nutty]

what happened to the KTM idea?

It's in the background. If all goes well, work wise, I'll be changing the XR when the warranty runs out, so if there are demo rides on the 2017 GT, and decent discounts available, I'll have a good look at one.

Saw a triple black GSA in my local dealers today whilst having mine serviced
It's pretty black !
What custom paint could you add to it ?
My scrambler comes in September so I feel your pain
Decided to keep my 2014 GSA as its mint and reliable .
It's great waiting for a bike to arrive

So many questions. You a copper or what?

 

[Daxaar]

Nice. I need to see one before deciding if I want to change. I'm also interested to know if the gearbox changes are noticeable.

You saw the 2017? I didn't think they'd been built yet, so are you sure it wasn't a dealer special/ press bike?

I'm getting the cylinder heads painted black (to match the rest of the engine!), and the silver plastic panel under the rear rack painted black. Then fitting a tinted screen, tinted winglets, and black Akra.

Should look good. I hope!

Apparently so, but the gearbox on my 2015 was very good, compared to my 2014.

Which screen and winglets have you purchased and is the Akro black a dealer option ?
