I had a brand new GSX1400 K3 (2004) in Blue. The most awesome bike I ever rode in over 30 years of Motorcycling. The downpipes at the front rusted within 6 months, so the chroming was shit and the rocker covers tarnished over time. This bike was awesome. I did 200 miles every day on mine for 3 years using it to get to and from work. This bike doesn't accelerate, it teleports. I had mine up to 165 mph once and although the bike was probably capable of 190, my head was struggling to stay on my shoulders at 165 because of the Wind pressure on the top of my helmet and I'm small at 5' 6" tall!
Hi Tim. Have one of these, a 2005 k5 in blue and white and luv it. On my number plate I have "GSX1400 more grunt than a pig farm! You will not be disappointed.
Wow, that's a great video. Your bike is so beautiful. I love the sound of the bike. I'm glad and honored to be your best channel friend. Have a nice Monday. 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙👌
They're beautiful bikes and I've got myself another one. Don't change to much cos they are supposed to look retro. I like the term "stump puller" very apt.
Thanks mate for watching appreciate it. It is the only way to describe the torque to people who have never experienced this bike "The stump puller" 😆 stay safe 👍🇦🇺
Hi Eric, I've since sold this bike and regret it, seller's remorse. Now trying to find another one but none available where I am at the moment. 18 year's is a good innings for 1 bike thanks for watching mate appreciate it 👍
Currently I own a ZRX1200 I am just waiting for none essential travel ban nonsense in the UK to be lifted and then I am getting one of these. This video has made my mind up 100% to sell Rex
Hello Alex, thanks for watching. I've never ridden the ZRX I've heard good things about them, apparently they have more horse power than the GSX but less torque. I wasn't prepared for how good the GSX is you won't be disappointed. Stay safe mate 👍🇦🇺
Hey Tim it looks like you are having way fun there. Lol, for a closed road that was getting busy. You probably already know but since July the Zigzag has re-opened at certain times. Check with the shire but I think it is now opened between 11.00 am and 8.30pm. You might have to get the cyclists to move over but I'm sure they'll here you coming.
Hey Jeff,I heard that but haven't been back there since this video was done, I think at the time it was still closed to cars and bikes. Thanks for watching mate 👍🇦🇺
Nice bike im thinking of getting one,do you still have it and is it really that comfortable? That's what I like about this bike the seat,modern bikes are so uncomfortable. Cheers bro
Hello Danny, yes mate I still have this awesome bike and it's very comfortable. it's one of those bike's that every time you ride it you smile a lot does that make sense? Even though it's 15 odd years old it rides as good as any modern bike. You wouldn't be disappointed if you bought one that's for sure. Stay safe 👍🇦🇺
Hello Jon, thanks for watching appreciate it. Must admit I do like the blue and white with the white wheels. They are a great bike no doubt about it. Stay safe 👍🇦🇺
@@timfinning I'm in the uk, the weather here often isn't good for bikes, I try not to get mine wet from the rain! I keep it indoors now! Someone tried to steal it from outside my place, fortunately they failed!
@@timfinning I just had a huge chain and lock on the front and another chain on the back, when they couldn't take it, they dropped it, it hit my classic mini and dented the wing, but at least I didn't lose it.
Just stumbled across your channel, was excited to have a virtual cruise around my old stomping ground - I recently did a lap through Kallamunda last time I was in Perth picking up my gsxs1000 which is a naked torque tuned racing bike realistically... but after watching this I'm wishing I got a gsx1400! What revs are you sitting at on open road speeds (110)?
Heya Tim, Seems the Red Stump puller has 'gone to a good home' I'd like to get some of those mirrors like you had on it, do you have the brand? Or where you got them? Cheers, Mike
Hey Simon, Thanks mate appreciate it. I'm using the Go Pro hero 7 it's a great camera without too many bell's and whistles like the 8 and 9. Stay safe mate 👍🇦🇺
Hi Dylan, The radiator cover is from Rad Guard and the indicators are off eBay. Depending where you live Rad Guard is an Australian company but they ship worldwide I'm sure. Thanks for watching 👍🇦🇺
@@timfinning would love to see some pictures of the radiator guard fitted. Is there somewhere you could post some pictures of it? Are you happy with how it looks on the bike. I see some polished stainless ones on ebay but I don't really like the look. Too much 'chrome' Thanks
Hi Dylan, look up Rad Guard. Australian company they sell the black version. Check out my a few small mods video I'm pretty sure I get in nice and close on the guard.
@@timfinning wow 204 now. This is my second channel I have been working on setting it up my wife and I are going to do stuff together eventually on this channel. I assume you recognize Dolly lol
Yes I kinda did mate 👍 thanks really appreciate it. 204 now? Wow last I checked was 201 by a guy called Erik in Colorado who just brought an Iron 1200 the new colour. Stay safe mate 👍🇦🇺

Gday Tiim, great video and excellent explanation of this beast. What sort of price would these go for in the current market?
Nice bike, I have a 2002 in blue and white with white wheels only done 22k miles.
Hello Jon, thanks for watching appreciate it. Must admit I do like the blue and white with the white wheels. They are a great bike no doubt about it. Stay safe 👍🇦🇺

I'm glad you didn't lose it Jon. Happens here in Australia all the time too. Literally have to bolt them to the ground. 👍🇦🇺
@@timfinning I just had a huge chain and lock on the front and another chain on the back, when they couldn't take it, they dropped it, it hit my classic mini and dented the wing, but at least I didn't lose it.

What revs are you sitting at on open road speeds (110)?
Thanks Jono, 110-120 sits on around 3400 rpm👍
Had mine for 5 years,when i got Yoshi cams a and got it dyno'd it became a much better bike....!!!
I've heard once you get the cam's and tune it wakes them right up with heaps more power. The torque goes through the roof.
Heya Tim,
Seems the Red Stump puller has 'gone to a good home'
I'd like to get some of those mirrors like you had on it, do you have the brand? Or where you got them?
Cheers, Mike
Glad to hear mate, yes it's a stump puller, that torque is intoxicating isn't it stay safe 👍🇦🇺
Hi I have been looking threw but cannot see, what exhaust is this please?
It's a Staintune, the company has since closed down but I've heard a rumour that someone else is bringing the brand back.👍
Nice bike,what camera you using
Hey Simon, Thanks mate appreciate it. I'm using the Go Pro hero 7 it's a great camera without too many bell's and whistles like the 8 and 9. Stay safe mate 👍🇦🇺
Thanks for that Tim.I have exactly the same bike,colour and year,love it,had it for 6yrs now,not a Mark on it
Can you tell me where you bought your led indicators and radiator cover? Thanks

@@timfinning cheers Tim. I'll check out your other video and rad guard
