Mr Fro Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 For anyone considering the GSX1400 I was staggered at how high up the weight felt and how high the seat height was.I was disappointed as I was considering another retro I had a CB13 when they came out and still have a soft spot for big naked bikes. I've eyed up the GSX14 a squillion times but haven't quite got round to riding one so it's interesting to hear your view.I think if I ever get round to selling the turbo bike I'll definitely take a spin on one.

I believe the C.O.G on the CB1300 will feel considerably lower and I know the seat height is as I have parked the ZRX next to both models and the Honda is the lowest !The GSX is the same seat height when the ZRX is on the paddock stand lol.CheersIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawsley Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 For anyone considering the GSX1400 I was staggered at how high up the weight felt and how high the seat height was.I was disappointed as I was considering another retro and even being of reasonable leg length I could see it was an embarrassing situation waiting to happen. Depends what you're coming off previously I guess. Mine was compared to an Ultraglide Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningman Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Got my MY13 Street Triple R from them. It was a year old, ex factory bike so still got the 2 year warranty....which was useful as the clutch needed to be replaced as it approached the end of the warranty period.

manxie49 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Really nice bike Mawsley One thing I've learnt over the years is "life's too short", enjoy it while you can mate, you'll have a massive smile on your face the day you pick it up and that's what its all about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll find a reason not to let you have it Dave!They obviously consider you to be the sort of client that they'd prefer their competitors to have.So the boys on the board came up with a plan........
