According to my tape measure it's 22" tall and 18" wide at it's widest point.

My 06 standard was great for touring. I sold it for a K1600 gtl because the buffeting on the old R3 was beating up my wife. I find the 2500 much more attractive if a bit less practical.

For me the old one is something like a dinosaur - when you love it, you do so.

If you look for the more modern part, sure the 3 is the better choice, while I would always recommend to use the pegs of the R on a GT. I do not like the position... and I recommend the Quick Shifter - one of the best I ever rode...

The new one looks small compared with the 2.3 roadster

Taken down on the m25 (London orbital) and the poor bike ('12 Roadster) is a write off. I've survived and as soon as the DVLA allow me back on the road, I'll need to decide.... Upgrade to the 3 gt or stay with the original? Looking for thoughts from those that have owned and ridden both

Sorry to hear about your accident. Never a good time for that!!
Stay with the original, I personally cannot see the appeal in the new models. Everything I love about the original is lost in new models.
