I think that the GTR is in harmony with the town in Alsace.　(Map: Ottrott)

The appearance of the town is very beautiful, and the hotel style is very romantic.
If there is a chance to go to the Continent, I want to visit the town with the family.

In Luciano Pavarotti's number list, there is opera "L’Ami Fritz".
“Fritz” whom I know is movie director's Fritz Lang.
I saw his work "Metropolis" several times in childhood.

When November comes in Japan, the topic of wine is taken up by the mass media.
My family drinks “Beaujolais nouveau” and “Beaujolais Villages Nouveau” on the third Thursday in November every year.
Those wines are imported from France by airplane.
Because of the time difference the opening time is earlier than Europe.

This Kawasaki dealer's manager loves motorcycle of Kawasaki very much.
If I live in Nagoya, I might buy the motorcycle of Kawasaki in this shop.


The reception for next year's summit was held at a certain hotel last night.
I saw several “Shiro bai” near the hotel.
☆Shiro bai: White police motorcycle

When I was watching American television series "CHiPs" in childhood, I wanted to have ridden such a big motorcycle (Z1000 P) sometime.

I want to see the police motorcycle model of 1400GTR, because “Shiro bai” is equipped with the equipment of the advanced technology.

The manufacturer name doesn't write on the web page of Kawasakiya.
It is written, "Manufacturer (RR Co.) in Germany" on this web page.

(2) “RR-OELTEMP.DIREKTANZEIGER”, “Louis”

The oil filler cap of the 1400GTR is the same product number as the ZZR1200 and the GPZ1100.　
Cf. 2008 ZG1400A8F (1400GTR): “CAP-OIL FILLER”, 16115, 161151009

Hi Uhjeen

Arigatou。　(Japanese: Thank you.)　

By the way, the number 1 beer of Japan is "Super Dry" of Asahi Breweries, Ltd..
It is a very famous beer in Japan.
In the other day's reception, this beer was served.

Kawasaki Motors Japan announced new 2008 domestic models.　(11-21-2007 JST)

There is no change point of the performance and the specification.
Almost all of the change points are only the colors.

Related Information
(1) “New 2008 Models”, “Kawasaki Information”
(2) “Kawasaki announced the 2008 models of the color change”


I saw a Lyme green GPZ900R in the intersection the other day.
The lime green of the GPZ impressed me a very bright, fresh.
At that time, I thought, "When is the ZZR1400 of the lime green sold?" in the mind.

Is the color of the 2009 1400GTR changed?
If there is a color change, what color is added?
I expect that red like the wine red or blue like the blue sapphire is added.
My expectations come true･････!?

Those are some nice colors. I like the white, blue, and the 2nd red (wine?). I bet the white ones could easily pass for a police bike.

[uhjeen]

the red one looks great!!

Nagoya is a city near the TOYOTA headquarters (Toyota City).

Maybe, many of GTR’s riders might live in the northern hemisphere.
Though I also live in the northern hemisphere, it is possible to ride the motorcycle all the year round.
However, I hardly get on the motorcycle in winter.

Motorcycle Stove League
I'm examining the new motorcycle of next year closely in winter.
I like to imagine riding a new motorcycle next spring in a warm room.　
It might be the happiest time for me.

Birthplace
Here is a place where the brother of your motorcycle did the running test.
Here is covered with snow now.
