- (PART 1) muscle motorcycles
If you were to ask me... what defines a true muscle motorcycle?
Well to answer that question, firstly you need to forget what ya missus says, because size truly matters... BIG BORES & LONG STROKES.. yeah.. You need to have a BIG ENGINE! and the GSX1400 is the largest production inline 4 air and oil cooled motor EVER BUILT by Suzuki.

I've bought mine back in 2010, one of the last brand new ones to grace these shores and it is a keeper (still got it in 2022). This bike brings a smile to my face every time I take it out of the garage 🙂. You were a bit harsh on the handling...I've gone to a slimmer rear tyre and a set of tapered handle bars with risers (the original bars flex in quick left/right changes) and this thing is on rails. Yes those scrapy thingos on my foot pegs are gone and I've been chasing many a sports bike up and down the hills around my home town. Two up and luggage, no problem, quick blast around some mountain roads, no problem, a commute to work, no problem. 12 years of ownership and still love mine 🙂 Nice review 🙂
You got to install straight pipe in place of handlebar on this thing to ride like real badass mofo!
Does anyone notice how absolutley perfect this video is made?
Cutting, camera angel, sounds, music, speech - I must stuck into a hollywood movie instead of a youtube clip! Brilliant and the perfect stage for that bike!
The GSX1400 is so amzaing - you`ve got tons of torque and a six speed gearbox - where the half of gears would suit as well.
Bought my lady three months ago and tomorrow going to take her out for the first time...thanks for getting in the mood watching your video!
The best to you guys - always a safe ride!
👍 A real motorcycle. Old school look with a more modern technology and a shitload of torque.
This review is spot on, I have a K5 (2005) GSX1400 bought new and will never part with it. When you ride it you feel on top of the world.
Know that feeling.
Exactly the same here bro 👍✌️
I have owned a few sports and naked bikes. I was looking for a new ride and whilst flicking through bike sales decided on a gsx 1400 . All I will say is this.....she is a keeper. I have never looked for a new ride since. Blessed are we that own one.
GSX1400 + Yoshimura cam shafts + Acrapovich full exhaust + BMC filter + charting = 150+bhp @ 7650 & 15.8nm @ 5460 or 130 rear wheel hp + 13.2nm r w hp..
Ooo that sounds like a good recipe! Would hammer with all those upgrades
Similar :)
I am thinking about getting one or something even heavier like V Max. I have great sentiment towards gsx thought
YESSSS! more old school motorcycles please 🤞🏍💨 awesome video bud, as always 👍
I was able to get it's little brother the GSX1100G back when I was studying in QLD. Didn't even realise what I was getting myself into. Loved it so much that I even managed to bring it back to Malaysia. As years passes by, sadly had to let it go. Unfortunately the GSX1400 is not available here but what is available is the ZRX1200R. Guess that'll do just fine.. :)
I had an opportunity to ride one of these yesterday. What a bike! Really hard to explain without getting on it, it just has so much.
I had one for a while and I found it just perfect... the power & easy riding position made me switch from sportsbike to big naked bikes! Now I am riding a CB 1300...
I did enjoy riding the Cb1300S last weekend, it certainly adds more of that sporty feel and charging through the bends, currently in the process of working on the CB1300 video review.
Hey man which do you prefer the gsx or cb
I'd prefer the CB... the GSX is already vintage! Riding them is same fun...
@@6tdegrees still waiting on the honda cb1300 review haha
Been looking forward to the big bike reviews, nice one. I love my 14, upgraded handlebars, 75mm higher and 100mm wider, awesome feel and changed out front springs to Wirth progressive, I like, still thinking about the rear shocks.
Epically shot!! Love it! I actually saw your channel advertised on the back of a car a couple of weeks ago and was pleased to see a new video!!! Awesome work.
Cheers Anthony! Glad you spotted us 😁
We've got plenty more videos still to come 👍
Thank you for the video Dude.Great job.
Absolutely loved this video. Here in India, we have a rather unique looking bike called the 'Mojo'. It is by Mahindra & Mahindra group which is known for manufacturing farm tractors, long haul trucks & SUV's. Though Mojo with its rather tiny 295cc single cylinder produces a little over 26bhp & 26nm torque, but its character and stance seems like a miniature version of this Suzuki behemoth.
The very first seconds of this video told me this is gonna be some quality material. Thanks for the vid!
I currently own a 08 gsx1400 and love it. Great video 👍 a special bike for sure.
I got a 2002!
Considering buying one of this, thanks for the review mate.
Fellow Queenslander here
Great review, and top quality production, deep and clever approach to this bike.
Thanks
Brilliant production. I need a muscle bike.
Jelly are you haha , after seeing I bought one
Sup chewster
@@MrB590 nope. Not at all. Not one bit. Nope. Not jealous. 😉
@@hachewie 😂
Beautiful editing, great description and voice over work (especially the d''k joke 🤣) you have me a sub! Looking forward to your thoughts on the zrx1200r but will you do a review on the xjr?
cheers m8, greatly appreciated, the ZRX review will be uploaded to our channel tomorrow and we've got a little easter egg for you at the end... i smell a yamaha
Most wonderful and awesome video about this model is your! NIIIICE!
I have a K2 I've had it for 14yrs now , I've had a few bikes before this & a couple in the garage with it but this with be with me till I can ride again (I'm 66 now ) I can think of anything to take its place.
I have 2003 model.
Been looking one of these for a long time and finally found one.
New painting, new exhaust (twin of course), new lights(led)/blinks(led), tuned up engine etc.
Just awesome bike!
Great bike, mine is a blue and white K2. We go away on ours every year, tank bag, top box, two panniers, me and the wife and it's still effortless. No intention of swapping it
Great video. Bought my black 14 new in 07. 100km later still in love! Does everything I need and more. Touring, pillion (as if you even notice), even drag racing (11.46 if you’re interested with just a Yoshi can). Can’t imagine selling it ever 😍 p.s. bulletproof too!
Had a 2003 a few years back ,what an engine but shocks ,shocking 😲. Handled like a barge.
Now have a 2002 with 14 k miles and a turbo !!.
Twin Ohlins ,stretched arm 💪, currently rebuilding a set of gixxer k4 shocks with extreme creations 3 inch extenders to give scavenge and sump some clearance.
Let you know how it goes..
Good review mate.
I bought an 08 model and just love it.. amazing power delivery and comfort for all day riding. Seems perfect and how old school motorcycles are a great choice.
I would like a few minor changes, like slightly wider handlebars, smaller mirrors and indicators.. sharpen up the front end..
I have a 2004 GSX 1400 and I just love it :D
I'll have to agree with you! Nice review!!
Have a 2008 gsx1400, at now 64 years old it is best bike of the many I have owned.
Great video!!!
Ive got a CB1100EX air cooled. Really torquey and relaxed. 70mph @ 3000rpm. No vibes and stable in the bends. The GSX would be the bike I would want if I didnt have the CB. Great review.
Have one. 2006 model black. Have had it 12 years magic bike. Just come back from Spain and Portugal rallying . Two and half thousand miles trip. Change the steering head bearings tighten up suspension to top. Sorted.
Will own my 01 for life awesome machine
I just bought one! In 1 month I can take her home. Can't wait woohoo!
Went from a 250 to this, but wanted more power so went to a bmw k1300.. always missed that low down torque, so now have what I feel is the best of both worlds - the new rocket 3 R (oh and love your work, awesome review)
blasphemy
I'm on my second now, sold the first because long rides were sending my hands numb - the next two bikes (cruiser and sports tourer) did as well so I got another 1400, just love the look and feel of them.
Takes a little bit of tuning to get the best out of them though. Dump the 20 year old factory 2.5w fork oil and drop in some 7.5w synthetic, add a little more front preload while your in there. Set the rears up properly if they are still good, it's surprising how many owners don't know that they have bump and rebound adjustments as well as the preload - it makes a big difference ( I have two main sets of settings solo and two up, and my copilot will be quick to point out things feel wrong if i haven't changed to two up setting when she is on the back). The rear preload can be a problem but it's usually not too hard to fix.
Being a big oil cooled engine there are some pretty noticeable compromises in the tune (snatchy down low and a little flat around 4K rpm most noticeably) to pass emissions, a PCIII can get rid of that even with a plug and play tune.
I bought a 20 year old GSX 1400 last year, and it is great. They go for a premium now and I managed to get a reasonaably priced one with a few marks as a bit of a project. She's all cleaned up now and I can't see myself selling it.
The production value on this video is astronomical, good lord. Very much like this bike
Beautiful bike!!👏👏
Great review. I've had my 2005 1400 for about 8 years and every time I get off after a ride I am grinning from ear to ear. I've done a bit of road racing and ridden a lot of great bikes, but this one is just simply a lot of fun. Think they'll bury me on her........... in mono position of course.
Were you riding up around Imbul, Lake Borumba area? Couple of corners looked very familiar
Every Japanese manufacturer had one or two of these air-cooled 4-cylinder retro UJM at some point, but ultimately only Honda can keep them in production to this day. I guess nothing captures the nostalgia of the old CB like, well, a new CB.
Didn't they stop production on the cb1300 in 2018?
@@Matt-wg1xi The 1300 is liquid cooled. The 1100 is the air cooled one. Both are still being made in various trims but I believe the 1300 is only available in Japan.
I gotta say I really enjoyed riding the CB1300s last weekend. its definitely one of the top muscle bikes on my list.
Loved the review . Hello from Scotland . Long legged spider monkey 🐒 brilliant
.. I'm Blessed to own two of these Big Beauties.. and where I live in the Western Cape of South Africa the long open country roads are just perfect for riding them (one at a time).. as with many of the previous comments these are the bikes I'll keep.. and one day when I may not be able to swing a leg over any more.. I'll be happy just to look at them..
I bought a 2006 model brand new, put 30,000k on it then sold it for reasons I can't remember 12 years ago.. Saw one last month on marketplace and I snapped it up, it now fills like a void in my life is full again. Love these retro rockets.
Hey mate new subbie, just recently bought a 05 gsx1400 in red and black , look forward to riding it , my first big bore Muscle bike.
Cheers mate 👍 you’re gonna love that motor
@@6tdegrees also I'm from Sydney 👍
got my gsx up to 245km/h speedometer :). Up to 125HP and 145Nm after dyno tuned with a acra exhaust
Im amazed at what a difference it can make once you get these bigbore brutes breathing. The XJR1300 we shot 2 weeks ago managed 125rwhp and all it had was a set of akro headers, delkavic exhaust and a dna airfilter.
Got my 1400 up to 270km/h on the speedo redlining in top gear. Very windy and took awhile to get those last few kms
Considering sticking this engine into an older GSXR 750w. Not sure if it’ll work yet. Have the GSXR. Still pondering.
I always wanted one of these. Ended up with a B-King.
both great bikes, personally id probably go the B-king as well for that added performance
@@6tdegrees I had it for over seven years. Maybe too much performance for me. Forgot to say: great review.
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o haha cheers mate, you still have the B-King?
@@6tdegrees Sold it in summer 2019. Surprisingly good tourer. Incredibly tractable engine. I miss it. A lion but a pussycat when it you want it to be.
I agree the dual pipes do look grouse!!
Hey Mate, I just bought the Suzuki Gsx 1400 model 2008, I live in New Zealand, do you know what type of petrol to use on this bike? 91 or 95? Thanks a Lot, awesome video....
I had a k6 it was a brilliant bike it handled really well brakes were good I never had a problem with them I took around some corners over a hundred and 40 per hour no problem problem
Desearía que está máquina se vendiera hoy en día , es impresionante y hermosa
I have a 2003 with 8k mls on Her. Virtually show room condition, Only the front forks to polish up now over winter and She will be mint. Sounds great with the full system and pipe werx cans. I must say the bike does handle really well for it's type and age and brakes are great imo but the previous owner did just have the front forks serviced and brakes reconditioned and this is coming from someone that also has a Ducati X-Diavel S with Brembo M50 Callipers.
The fun part is you can ride a hayabusa the same way. busa got 100nm from 2750 rpm. going to 135 to 7000rpm. i got a sbk on the busa and high steer. ride it like a naked but it got the extra hp to go the top when you want to. low revs high torq is fun to ride!
Спасибо за видео! Байк очень достойный!
I liked these along with the Yam XJR and MT01.. How would you compare to the current crop of muscle bikes like the Diavel or Rocket 3R? Is it time they made a comeback?
I’d honestly class the diavel and rocket 3r in a completely different class all together, they are more of a power type cruiser or sports cruiser.
However if I was to compare the latest with the old greatest well… it wouldn’t be much of a fair fight since there’s a giant leap difference in technology.
Obviously the rocket and diavel are going to be the better in performers (accelerating, top speed, braking and suspension) BUT I will state this… if we are talking engine longevity and touring on distance, you’ll be at a big win covering these grounds on the old inline 4 muscles bikes.
@@6tdegrees thanks mate, it’s a shame no one making now, like the Yam XJR, I’d love Yam to bring back the MT01, love torque & no surprises I enjoy my Rocket 🚀 3R and love doing long trips and twisties, I found the Diavel uncomfortable for longer runs tho a great motor, Rocket more like a two wheel turbine 😎
Twin needles always have class.
Do you know what is better than a GSX 1400? Two GSX 1400! :)
🤣 you're not wrong
Just love mine ;-)
Yeah. Best big bike. Full of power - always. Best is that I have one :) and I will newer sold it !
What about the liquid cooled Suzuki GSF1250?
Are you guys saving the best for last. I really want to see the xjr1300 review as I'm thinking of buying one 😄
Maybe 😁 haha
Im hoping to have the xjr uploaded next week 🙏
I tried both and bought the 1400 it's just better.
I have had both Bikes ,I sold my XJR1300 BUT still have a GSX1400 and will never sell it. imo the GSX is a far better Bike all-round than the XJR, The GSX1400 just is super fun Bike to ride and it is a beast , The XJR is just another Bike it is slow compared to the GSX1400.
Fab bike, brilliant.
And you can get that bored and set up new pistons head etc ported and flowed to a 1620cc with 160hp
Ten motocykl jest zajebisty ! Jeżdżę na nim już od 8 lat ! I co roku dostarcza mi mnóstwo zabawy z jazdy, uwielbiam ten model !
Świetny film ! Pozdrawiam
Finallllllyyyyyy. 😂
Hahaha had to keep the suspense… for about a year hahah
잘봤어요~^^
저는 대한민국에서 GSX1400 잘타고 있습니다.
Hello~ GSX1400 nice bike ^^
Im glad you're loving the gsx1400 great bike
Beast😎😍😍😎😎
i love the old school monsters the gsx 1400 is a sexy monster
dont tip it just enjoy it
Honestly. That's more then enough power for me...
Great review.
To me the CB1300 is my 1st option.
Cheers.
seems like the CB1300 is the most favored muscle bike.. just as well we got to ride one last weekend for a video review, currently in the process of editing that video at the moment. CB1300S model
@@6tdegrees Waiting for that one.
Thanks.
Hmmmm what about the Suzuki B-King🤔
The B-King is a genuine naked streetfighter NOT a muscle bike. It’s literally the busa with no fairings hence that’s what a streetfighter is.
With all these bigger nakeds you should find an X11 and have a go.
Never got them here
Lovely bike for an EASE to Acute BANDITAHOLICISM, was thinking a very very healthy Z1300 shaft drive with d.f.i. fuel inj. Oooooh nice, but a GSX 1400 hopefully fuel injected, also Lovely. Maybe if the Planets lined up ?, Very very, very healthy Bandit 1250 inj GSF type. SUPERB dreams of Blessed Bandit Time Times.
Honda CB 1300 all day every day for me.
CB1300 great bike but terrible riding position. Same goes for X11. I've had 5 GSX1400's. Best compromise .
i agree, these are a very very underpriced bike.
I think I prefer my 2005 Kawasaki ZRX 1200R.
I'd say the BMW K1300 is the answer.
Mmm wouldn’t really class it as a muscle bike as such BUT great touring bike (GT version) plus that naked is a force to be reckoned with HOLY HELL they’ve got some POWER!!!
Spungy brakes? The brakes are shit?!?
You must have gotten a really bad specimen.
This bike has the greatest brakes I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve ridden about 100 different bikes.
The engine and the brakes are the life insurances on this bike.
100-0kmh (60-0mph) will take just above 32 meters - name another bike that has that performance.
Good feeling in the grip, always enough stopping power if You dare to.
The chassis and suspension are - as mentioned - the downsides of this brute.
I open up mine from intake to exhaust, and added PCV.
Had a few runs and sold it.
Too smooth, too discrete if You want to grow old.
Moved too fast before noticing how fast it really was moving.
I miss it, but the heavy adventurer (replacement bike) keeps me alive, thou it has zero of that sleeper/humiliating others factor the GSX has.
Gen 1 Z1000 was a much better bike.
BEST keyring EVER!!! Spat my tea out through my nose.
Proper review! "Thats a huuuge b!tch" 😂😂😂😂😂
