Default Opinions on the gsx1400

I've always liked musclebikes but they seem to be getting gradually fazed out, including the lovely gsx1400... I'd love to have one before they disappear and suzuki are doing a nice paintjob/can offer on the last stocks

I'm giving thought to getting one, anyone got any experiences of them ?

Heavy, fast, big, scary, comfortable, suzuki build quality. I was going to buy my mates some time ago, but it was just to big for the commute (Compared ot the sv that is)

Do it.

i was looking at them as well as the ZRX, the suzuki machine is aproper beast, if i could have found oneat the right price i would have got one, in the end couldnt justify the extra outlay over the used ZXR i ended up getting,,,,,,,,

wicked looking thing though,

maybe one day.......................

I was going to swap for a XJR1300... but decide against it. Sometimes I think I made a rather stupid mistake. It was black too, I think the insurance was the only scarey bit.

I like 'em... But I think I'd have a CB.

1400's soon to be discontinued, apparently because of Euro3, so get 'em while they, er, exist.

ZRX1200, better in every department.

Just my unbiased opinion.
