2002 Suzuki GSX1400
Owner: Staffan Hägg, Sweden
Comments: I'm in on my second GSX1400 now. I crashed the
first one and had a Honda X11 for a while in between. A tight
corner came towards me too fast, I pulled the front brake too
hard and the next thing I saw was something black and rough close
to my eyes (it appeared to be tarmac). A broken rib and lots of
scrape wounds. The bike was history. The right side engine cover
was ripped off and lots of dirt was pressed in.

2003 Suzuki GSX1400
Owner: Tony Dadson, British soldier based in Germany
Comments: I took delivery of my Suzuki GSX1400 K3 on the
26th May 2003. After two days I already mounted a screen on
it!
I thought people would like to see the new blue and white paint
scheme. I wasn't too keen when I first saw the pictures but
I prefer it now. It's much better in the flesh.
First impressions of the bike are excellent. I've been riding
20 years and I've never ridden a bike with such a smooth engine.
The torque is unbelievable, 2,000 rpm, in top gear, open the
throttle and the bike just pulls without so much as a judder.
So far I love it!
The bad points: the factory settings for the suspension are
bit scary to say the least (especially after riding Ducatis'
for 4 years) and the quality of the paint on the wheels is shite
to put it mildy!

2002 Suzuki GSX1400
Owner: Louis van Haaren,
Hamont Belgium (I'm Dutch)
Comments: My compliments for
your website. I even found a picture of my first T350.
At this moment I own a GSX 1400 Blue/White like you. We also have
a vivid GSX 1400 club in The Netherlands, but you will probably
know it. You can visit it at http://www.xs4all.nl/~lramp/.
Last weekend we had a meet and greet with a nice tour.

2002 Suzuki GSX1400
Owner: Nigel Hodgetts, Stourbridge West Midlands, England
Comments: Great site, I have
visited it a few times now. I have attached 2 pictures of my GSX1400K2.
I have owned it since new in Feb 2002 and it has some modifications
whih I have listed below:
Akrapovic
racing exhaust system (extra 18hp and a large weight reduction
plus an exhaust note to chill the spine)
Givi engine
bars
Fabrini
screen
Renthal
ultra low superbike bars
Pyramid
undertray
NWS hugger
One tooth
less on the gearbox sprocket (making the gearing lower so now
hits 7,500rpm in top gear two-up)
Renntec
sports carrier and oil cooler cover
Probolt
engine bolt kit plus oil filler cap and assorted other bolts in
gold
K&N
air filter
Motrax
carbon look mini indicators.
New number
plate with 'Here comes the Nice' at the bottom. This is an obscure
60's song referance related to The Small Faces.
The GSX1400 is my favourite bike of all I have owned in 22 years
riding.
Next I am planning on fitting a cockpit fairing and having it
resprayed in another colour scheme (which I want to keep quiet
until it is done). After that who knows possibly TTS cams with
a braced and polished swinging arm.

This is my second GSX1400 after throwing my last one down the
road. I was determined to do something serious with this one...
Overall I love the 14 but wanted something a bit more individual.
Instead of going the usual route of strapping plastic to the bike
I have tried to make the bike handle better than a bike this size
should... As a result of the mods I have made I think it handles
VERY well and has surprised
quite a few who have tried it.
The geometry has been altered by
raising the tail and dropping the front making it turn in very
nicely
without tucking under. The USD fork also reduce the unsprung weight.
Next on the agenda for this bike will be a bit more engine work
to take it over the 122bhp it currently makes, and some lighter
wheels.
This is the best bike I have ever owned and wouldn't hesitate
in recommending it to others.
