Hello All,

Since i just joined, might as well drop a message and greet you all as the 1st post for 2020 in newbie section :).
From Malaysia and got my 2015 GT about a month back and its gonna be my daily runner to work and some weekend rides.
Background - Been riding sport bike (R1), multipurpose (F8GS), easy(Sportster) maxi scoot (Kymco Xciting 400i) and now settling for GT.
Been riding about 4k mileage on my GT so far, and here s my honest take so far
- Love the adjustable windscreen
- Love the 2 cylinder BM growl trademark
- Love the mid torque, but from standstill torque on V1 quite sluggish compared to V2
- Hate the buzzing vibration when travelling more that 145kmh(about 90mph). Tried to search similar issue in here raised by few members, but found no solid solution to it. Not sure if it exist on v2 GT or Sports.
- Hate the shaky mirrors
- Love the power till it hits the limiter
- Hate the limiter at 175kmh, i know the power is there for maybe another 10-15kmh more. Any way to eliminate the limiter?

Looking forward to discuss/browse thru the information in here. Thank you Admin.
Cheers
Joe.

Be careful if you override the limiter. It is set at 106mph because the tires are only rated for 112mph. Make sure that you get higher rated tires.
