2007 Suzuki GSX1400 review from United Kingdom
"A relaxed and lazy ride, but also a capable hooligan!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Mechanically, it hasn't missed a beat so far.
The paintwork is not bad, but could be better. A typical Suzuki then...
General comments?
The engine is an absolute gem. Mildly tuned with loads of cubes adds up to an astonishing amount of torque. That said, I'm not sure why it needs a 6 speed box!
The seat is extremely comfortable, and you could sit in it for days at a time, but being an unfaired bike, there is a fair amount wind force on the upper body to deal with at high speeds.
Handling? Well, I think it's pretty good (for its size/weight). You are always aware of the 220 odd kilos, but it is still capable of getting the pegs down and is very stable in fast sweepers.
For someone like me, who can only justify one bike, it is a great all rounder.
