    GSXR750 versus GSX1400

    OK so I have a GSXR750 and its great, I love it but I also love the GSX1400 and are tempeted to change. I miss the roar of the big engine and the tourqe of big cc's. I enjoy the ride of the 750, but not so keen on having to rev it hard out. I'd love to tknow your thoughts and also if anyone has a GSX1400 what do you think of it??

    Cheers

    Do a search under my name beyond posts by me and you will find all my write ups on the GSX1400.

    I love it. Does everything well and is comfortable and goes when you want it to

    The easiest way to do it, is just to click on his name in his post, then a little menu will pop up. Then click on `Find all posts by beyond', or whatever it's called.

    Got it - thanks - looks like agood review - haven't read it all.

    After my test ride yesterday with the wife - who I have to admit was somewhat nicer on the GSX1400 than on the back of the GSXR750. As she has something real to hold on to on this bike I didn't recieve a single slap to the helmet for too much acceleration or cornering too low. Actually I accelerated harder and cornered deper, it just she wasn't sitting a whole floor above me so felt more comfortable.

    I think I'll be to the bike shop this week to place my order for the 2007 blue / white bike. Summer fest is great, I also get a Yoshi, lower fairing and bikini fairing. Dont think much of the bikini (I'll leave that for the wife) but the lower fairing and the Yoshi are all good.

    Beyond - I guess I'll have to get in touch about modifications and tips and tricks etc. I'm wondering how it will respond to a power commander and K&N to start with.

    Yep, real good deal on right now. Kinda like that new twin headlight fairing though.

    Heres another site for all the info you will need:
    http://www.gsx1400.org/

    Become a member and you will get access to the best suspension settings for this bike. Once setup there will be few who will catch you in the twisties if you are a quick rider
