6.5k for a new bike in 2004, oh how times have changed. I'm looking at a used 2004 gsx-1400 6k miles, right now and it's 8k. yikes

[@keithmckeith]

Remove centre stand, Shove a full akra or yoshi on it and firm up the superb fully adjustable suspension. That's it. The 14 is a giant motard monster. It has bollocks like cantaloupes.

[@eirebiker4275]

Future classic, pretty iconic already. If you have one keep it, they are making silly money. Keep it original as possible, blue and white paint scheme they will be making 10k in a few years.

[@tabajaraaparecidojorge307]

One dream of motorcycle. Show.

[@mrtriple2414]

“Lacking in the midrange”? It pulls your face off there. Did you leave it in sixth all test?

[@albertocomesana1248]

I thought the same; how can a 1402 cc bike lack in that range?

[@samuelkearney880]

It would be nice if it had a bit more in the top end. Say 115 or 120 Bhp and redline at 10krpm.

[@Bare36]

​@@samuelkearney880with full akra it has +120hp.
Why 10 000 ?
Max power is at 6500. Best thing for this bike is big power delivery at low rpms

[@samuelkearney880]

​@@Bare36I think the 1200 bandit revs out to 10000rpm and carrying the extra revs helps with accelerstion. The 1200 that I had pulled very well from less than 3000 rpm. It would have made the rev speed range a bit wider but maybe it needs to be riden to be appreciated.

[@jimberger7362]

Suzuki can bring these bike out in 2020 and it would sell! What is the real wheel horsepower and the quarter mile time?

[@djangomuller3124]

Standard dyno run says about 108hp and 130Nm (around 6000rpm) torque. Swap your exhaust and new pipes your about to discover 120hp. I mean it shovels 110Nm at around 2000rpm already. The super sportbikes delivers 113Nm at 11.000 rpm.

[@waynesmith1942]

@@djangomuller3124 Mine is a 2004 model. Removed the stock exhaust system (4 into 2 ) weighing 22kg's and fitted a complete stainless Yoshi system weighing 7.5 kg's. Dyno with stock system was 95 hp at the wheel. With a mixture adjustment the Yoshi system produced 122hp, hugely different bike to ride after. I believe the stock system was very restrictive and the Yoshi let it all out....;)

[@djangomuller3124]

@@waynesmith1942 Can you explain this "mixture adjustment"? Iam very interested in that. Did you flash the ECU?

[@vstm3950]

Wicked bike

[@QBTO]

They give the GSX1400, 7 for practicality same as the CB1300 XJR and ZRX yet the GSX is the only one with 14 litres of stowage space under the seat !

[@1990-t1j]

As much as 14L!

[@andrewdods2236]

11 litres ...

[@thejuggernaut3645]

My 1st big bike back in 2007,use it for 4 years until i trade in for more powerful B-King 1300...Record top speed os around 270kmh on gps...

I had white wheels and painted them black ;-)

[@jerryx2000]

you racist

[@perryburns6515]

Are they correct saying it's lacking midrange? That seems contrary to what everyone else would say about the GSX1400?!

[@stuartmiller9648]

Terrible review. Midrange is awesome.

[@560smr4]

You are correct. I owned one and it had loads of midrange..

[@charlesscottkelly]

Why no white wheels

[@ELHALOPSP]

-How much litters per mile?
-YES.

[@ronwhite8503]

Is that cat litters?

[@waynesmith1942]

Dual valve Ignition....??

[@andrewdods2236]

Wayne Smith Indeed .. ? :-/ Is a 4 valve head configuration. And CDI ignition. What were they on about ???

[@Coltnz1]

andrew dods I reckon they're referring to the twin butterflies in the inlet tracts - one operated by hand, one by computer.

[@MrNobbyify]

I think he meant to say "induction".

[@matthewfetherston5322]

yekes almost go eye damage with all those out of focus shots

[@1990-t1j]

Lacking in the mid-range?!

[@Coltnz1]

1990 That's what I thought!!!! You're riding a mountain of torque!!

[@sumowan]

What? It bristles with midrange. It out torgues anything...

[@Bare36]

I have full akra exhaust,it will slip wheel, in third gear on 2500rpm,when accelerating.few times even in fourth gear on 3500rpm..

[@TheVilouboy]

Yeah the white wheels make this bike

[@juha2031]

more like add full fairing

Dovestones!

Quick somebody buy my Harley

Buy it? I wouldn't have it for free.
