After 14 years of ownership, a couple of tips. 1. Fit a K&N Air filter and look after it. 2. This one needs $$$ remove the entire stock exhaust system, if it's in good nick, flog it on E Bay ( $400). Now for the $$$, fit a decent 4 into 1 Stainless system, mine's a Yoshi. The stock system weighs 22 Kilos, the Yoshi system weighs 7.5 kilos, so instant lighter Bike. 3. Arrange for a Dynotune as the combination K&N Filter and the free flowing Yoshi system will have your 1400 running quite lean. When I purchased my 2004 1400 it make all of 95HP at the wheel, after the upgrades and air/fuel adjustment it made 125 HP at the wheel. This result really illustrates how inefficient the stock exhaust system is.....stay upright...;)

150hp on a fully faired bike is scary enough! Never mind a totally naked muscle bike. She must pull!

I had a brand new 53 plate GSX1400 and loved it, till 2006 when Black Horse lied to me when I lost my job and could not pay the monthly payment. They forced me to sell it, give them the money and then stopped me having an IVA to pay the rest of my debts off. By the time the claims started being made for PPI, we found that it had insurance on it, even though I had said no to it from the off and Black Horse failed to tell me at the time. I shall never forgive them for that! It is such a gorgeous bike and if they had been honest and paid it off, I would still have the thing. It is, by far, the single best ever bike I have ridden and now, I am searching for another [03 or after] blue and white dream. Perfect bike for anyone!

Indeed, they're just incredible motorcycles for the price and future (maybe even already) classics. I owned one for about a year a year ago wit full Akropovic exhaust and power commander and the thing was an animal. 124hp on the wheel and 145nm(!). I wish I'd never sold it.

I've always loved them. Had a test ride a number of years ago, and just loved the engine.
