Well, I went and brought a brand new bike toaday and take it off the dealer on Tuesday.

Traded my GSX1400 K2 with 43,000kms on the clock for guess what??















Another GSX1400 K6 in black. :)

They are too good a bike to pass up seeing this is the last year they are making them, plus Colemans did me a good deal I am happy with and i do like black.

I have already ordered a scoprpion can to replace the single swiss horn on the side and I am looking forward to another long relationship with a fantastic bike that is such a good all rounder for the money.

Couple of sleepless nights ahead eh? I should have it run in over one weekend.

Dover, that's why I'm getting a Scorpion can mate. I hate that big swiss horn too.

Awesome bro. Sounds like a good plug for GSX1400's.

Ohhh, new bike envy!!
Yeah, I'd be taking to that can with a grinder, so a scorpion should be just the ticket!

get rid of those shitty 020's and put some decent rubber on, especially the front.

Nice, in black. Looks a lot like Sparky bills new bike.

Um, nice bike.
But (noob speaking here) what's with getting the same bike twice in a row?:dodge:

Granted the > 1000 cc market has less to choose from, but still why? Have noticed a few folks on KB are opting for repeat bikes.

Well, cos it's such a good motorcycle, handles well, heaps of good everyday useable torque, great two up, great solo, comfortable and read my review to really know why I bought another one. :)

Ooooh loyal to the brand eh. For good reasons though as you and those 1400s are a slick combination. They tell me that you pick up more chicks when you ride a black bike..! Let me know eh..?

Cool bike apart from that :)

Thanks mate.

I paid the amount owing to Colemans for the trade up yesterday and saw my Blue and White looking at me from the workshop area. Man, I know it's an inanimate object and all that, but I sure did feel like a traitor and I felt that big single eye on my back as I left. :(
It served me really well and even though I am getting the same model, even my wife who was with me, said, man this is sad. :)

She likes the black one though and agrees the rocket launcher on the side needs to go.
