Suzuki GSX1400 Review

Suzuki GSX1400 Overview

If you want to go retro in style then the GSX1400 could be the perfect bike.  This is not a bike to take out racing and it will never break the speed limit but with its 70’s look and impressive low down torque, it’s a bike worth taking a closer look at.

At 229kg there is a lot of bike to work with here and although the bike is comfortable to ride it does take some adjustment.  The twin rear shocks look good but add to the overall bulk of the bike and handling on the corners could be better.

The brakes and suspension are up to the task however, and the engine is second to none.  For a bike of this calibre you get everything you want and more from the four stroke, air cooled engine and for a bike this size you can achieve some serious acceleration when needed.  There is plenty of storage going around too, with almost 11 litres to make use of.

The main thing to note about the Suzuki GSX1400 is that it’s all about the looks.  Suzuki’s main competitors don’t even come close to the GSX1400 and although you could find other, similar bikes at a more modest price, they also look cheaper in size and stature.  Second hand, you can expect to pay between £3,500 and £7,500 for one of these bikes and whilst they aren’t the most practical choice, if the GSX1400 has caught your eye then you’ll find little else to compare it to.

Built like a tank, never broken down and very reliable.
Engine Rating
Solid as a rock, unburstable engine
Brake Rating
Super brakes, front and rear.

Handling is suspect on bends. Headshake from the front end. A steering damper is needed. I love the GSX1400.
