Good afternoon all
Firstly, thanks for accepting me.
I have just returned from my first proper ride out on my new to me 1400. All i can say is just wow!
Ive been off 2 wheels for 3yrs after owning a V Strom 650 for 6 years and using it as my commute, needless to say i basically ran it into the ground.
I always loved the GSX 1400 and after 3yrs of dreaming searching and more dreaming i finally took the plunge and purchased a very tidy K5 in Red n Black. This bike will be dry miles only. Ha
So now the good lady is insisting i take her out on it tomorrow, so hopefully we"ll get to some nice scenic place so i can take the usual photo of my bike with some hills behind.
I'm always up for meets as i was with the V-Strom and i shall undoubtedly be asking for loads of help and advice from you clever lot.
This machine is whole new beast to me compared to a 650 :shocked:.
Again thanks and i"m looking forward to the community.
Bienvenue! :8: (again ;) )
Look forward to the pickies! Enjoy the machine, they're great. :boogie:
Welcome Drac - looking forward to seeing some pictures of your R&B!
The 14 is a great machine, very versatile, just be a bit gentle when pulling away as that torque can catch you out at first. But I think you'll enjoy your summer riding out!
Plenty of help and advice on here should you ever need it just ask away!

I like the Peaks too so could be up for a mini-meet.
Oh & welcome Drac. Once ya used to a R/B you'll be able to step up to the power of a B/W ;)
Pics of our 4.5hr ride this afternoon as promised. Last one is the good lady pretending obvs.
Great looking bike I have a red/black and a blue/white in the same paint scheme
I think the r/b looks better but as you'll find out the b/w ones are naturally faster :stir:
Very nice Drac. If l didn't have a black i'd be well happy with a red and black.
Your good lady will be enyoying the space she has on the back. :onya:.
Bloody nice ride mate ! You'll be happy with that for years to come.
