Title: Great people at the dealer in Crete, IL-Tested GTR 14
Post by: damianst on August 19, 2012, 06:02:18 AM
Yesterday I went to test the Concours 2012 at Wizard of Wheels Yamaha in Crete Illinois.

They are very nice people. Cody and Justin Clinton are great guys, they gave me a brand new 2012 to test and also gave me a lot of information about the bike and answered all the questions I had.
They are people to consider to do business.
I had a very nice ride trough country roads and some highway. The bike is nimble, very smooth, fast and I did not find any problem with its weigh which was one of my concerns after reading all the complains about its weight. I had a big smile after I rode the bike which is what I'm always looking for when it comes to bikes
The only negative factor is that I am not sold with the 2 colors (Black and Candy red), on Monday I will take a look to a Silver 11' which I think for my taste the nicest color.
Let's see what happens, I will also test a K 1300 GT 2010.
Decision is around the corner!~

Safe riding

Damian

Silver is the best. Can't go wrong with a C14. I love the power and the price was right

I don't know what the conditions are on that K13 but I would pass on it. Smiles per mile and reliability, the C14 wins, hands down.
