thats a 2001 gt grind dude, they only made tours till 2000 with pacman dropouts then they were replaced for a year with the dave volker and jamie bestwick models,then gt went under and got bought out by pacific cycles then gt were shite and sold in halfords till now. hope that bit of history helps   :daumenhoch:

Alright mate  ;)

looking good now you have finished  :daumenhoch:  bars look a little touch to forward for a good ride - pull them back a bit and you will get more from the bike
I said the white mags would look cool  8)

the GT 01 is a nice ride  ;)
