The only thing I'm not keen the look of the 3 pipe in one exhaust either side. I think it could just have a normal twin pipe with bigger holes

Especially as only the centre hole works, the top and bottom holes are blanked off.

I've got some off-cuts of 28mm copper pipe I could let you have to blu-tac onto your rear end...

Looks like the only actual upgrade to the K16 range this year, other than colours, is Hill Start Pro. Automatically puts the brakes on if you stop on a hill greater than 5degs - I am quite happy doing this manually and is one of my favourite gadgets - really miss it on my XR. No news on any updates TFT screen like the GS range, which is simply stunning when you see it. Shame.

Managed to have a GT when my bike in for service had the TFT screen. Like the new colour and would have one, lottery win required though.  :'(

Well Mark, it would seem that most riders seem to take the PCP route to obtain the ride they want. Think most on this forum have the readies available though. Anyone know what the monthly outlay on a K16GT is?

PCP = one extra person in the purchase chain = they need to make a profit too = higher prices overall.

And balloon payments. There's a hint in the name. Hence the name change to 'Guaranteed Minimum Future Value' - much more positive.
Once they're 'hooked' does anyone ever come back off PCP? I'm sure almost no one saves up to pay the balloon off - you just hand the old car back, and swap to the new car + PCP contract.

Fascinating, and scary. I'm lucky not to have to suffer it.
