- Torque is absolute king for everyday street / city riding but sacrafices top end power for the track. Heavy but well balanced and easy to ride. Comfy seat! Excellent brakes helps make up time right to the apex. Camera is taped on top of right side indicator.

Ace video, even better bike, great power output, mile per gallon, not good ha but do I care, smile per gallon a million to one, I love my GSX 1400.
excellent video,
Hey awesome Vid Joe. I have the full length one you had floating around :)
Shows really well how the GSX1400 can corner and late brake to catch up on the spoties.
Wicked video mate. MIss track days at Taupo especiallty the long track
Awesome Vid and fantastic riding! You make hauling a big heavy bike around look easy and despite lacking in top end made the nimbler sporties look bad!
Hey great to hear that. Now I want one! Actually I always have after my track-day ventures. No bike at all now. Living on a boat - But there will come a day.
Cheers.
Thanks mate.
Good luck with your choice.
Wish I still had mine.
to guys wonderingbabout mpg -
you can get up to 50mpg imperial (55 U.S.) if you basically tour close to the speed limit and surf the wave of torque when overtaking rather than try to rev it hard. No need to go above 7000rpm ever on this bike.
If you wanna play hard all the time - you may see 30mpg but that'd take some dedicated bike wrestling and would be fatigueing doing it for a whole tankful
Thanks for your comment.
These bikes are very stable under hard braking right to the apex. The rear becomes light, and changing down to 1st or second at speed would be dangerous. Hence the changing down mid corner.
Cheers, glad you liked the vid.
I can't remember top speeds but no where near the sporties. Average speeds were comparable mostly because of good brakes. There's not much pull above 8,000rpm. For a better track compromise my personal choice would be FZ1. Heaps more horses and lighter and still comfy to ride in the real world. But for road and city use my all time fav is the GSX1400 and I've had a few. Its all personal preference really. Glad you liked the vid.

i have 2003 with twin blue flames, and pciii. i get 150-160mile per tank riding sensibly!! but remember its a 1402cc bike, so if ur heavy with the right hand it can do as little as 77miles on a 22L tank!!! tried and tested!
Thanks mate.
No never overheated. They're quite low hp but make up for it in good road grunt. They'd be something wrong if one ever overheated. I don't recall what i got per tank full. On the track...not much!
Mate, the slow group would've been suicide akin to Russian Roulette!
If I had a Gixer1000 I'd be in the fast group otherwise Intermediate was perfect. The stop start nature of Taupo helped. Any track with long straights and less braking and I'm left for dead.
@RosieKR Just get one mate, they are superb, I should know I have one.
i know that feeling...
i wish they sold them in the U.S. =( maybe i'll need to look at getting one imported, that'd be unique here in the middle of iowa lol.
@multihull40 power commander3 akrapovic exhaust system + k&n air filtre , your getting about 205 total bhp from the gsx 1400 if not more
Nice idea to film with a potatoe !
mine with after market pipes dynoed a bit over 100 at the wheel.
The guy who reckons 200 must have added two lots of results together LOL
Just had Turbo fitted to mine with Yoshimura cams and it's dyno'd at 230hp at rear wheel so 200 is easily achievable
Noice. ......
Synkuk on youtube has a 1400 with a super charger strapped to the side claiming it produces 200 bhp????
You got original exhaust on your Gsx? :)
@Wesfry
Hey Happy, who you talkin to?
@NSchoolderman
my dads bike , dyno'd , go back to your box kid :)
