Interesting if nothing else.

Not sure why the GSX1400 only made it to number 2. Should be #1 for sure.
The problem is most of these testers are sport bike riders and get a brown streak in there pants as soon as they sit on the 14 :happy1:
It was filmed in 2002
The mighty 14 had only just got going by then .
:cheers:
Ah, VHS quality, cheesy generic rock muzak, charisma-free presenters and voiced over by a sex offender. That took me right back to 2002 in a wave of nostalgia.
Seriously, what's that comment about the 14 not having much engine braking? Is that a thing? Mine's got loads.
I especially liked the coment that the 14 wheelies in every gear :rofl2:
I think the v-rod the yam bulldog shouldn't be on this list so what else should. It was 2002
So what would be an upto date top 10 .
can name 10, but consider as muscle bikes:
- BMW K1300R - (my personal favorite) :devil:
- Triumph rocket 3
- B-king
- Bosshoss

Apparently. Though I wouldn't see any reason it'd be different to other similar bikes.
Harleys have more engine braking, but then so do steamrollers.
A more recent list would have to include the second generation V-Max and the B-King.
Sadly that style of bikes is almost gone now. No more big Retro's like the CB13, XJR, GSX or ZRX, no more Zephyr, GS1200SS or Inazuma, no more muscle cruisers like the V-Rod or V-Max, no more B-King or Buell.
No it's lightweight detuned sports bikes or a few lame cruisers.
Nearest thing now is probably Euro bikes like the 1290 Super Duke R or the Aprilia V4 1100 RR or Factory.

Exactly what I was thinking Fishy, mine feels like I have wacked the brakes on.
Can't see the 02 being any different to my 06 ?
