Title: Newbie on the block
Post by: Ghostchaser on Monday, 05 November 2018, 06:00 AM
Hi all, Not got her yet (Tuesday she's being delivered) but I finally got the bike of my dreams 2001 GSX 1400.
It was this model I always fancied when they come out so I figured hell I'm getting on in years so go for it she's a blue un, a 2001 model like I said and 11432 miles on her last owner had OCD (seriously he did) so £3500 spent on a nut and bolt replacement (seriously every nut and bolt and more has been replaced by Suzi agent) so that's it, I got one in the end and my little Fazer FZS600 who has served me without missing a beat for the past 4 years is going.
Cheers all catch ya later

That's proper OCD for you. Really clean bike, congratulations.

I guess the PO changed the wheels as well then, because a 2001 model would have had white ones?

I had a chance of a white K2, it's my favourite colour for the GSX however, blue is my most favourite colour in life and I thought that whilst the white model is sexy Suzi put the blue on as a contrast so there are 2 reasons for why I got the blue model, here is the other,
I will reverse the colours, have her professionally painted and have a blue with white in the same K2 design.. it's just the colours reversed, that is my intention for the future of my new girl in my life.
I reckon it'll look just as cool, the black wheels were on the K3 or K4? onwards if I remember correctly so if Suzi did it I will leave them that colour. 
I have been informed by the dealer she is a K2 in the UK as the K1 was only sold in Japan upon it's release by Suzi and the girls registration was in the beginning of 2002 (although she is on a 2001 plate) she was registered between August 2001 and before March 2002 hence the K2 (confused.com)! So am I.
Any way K1 or K2 I am not bothered she a GSX1400 and the bike of my dreams and I got one Yahoooo

Cheers

It's a well known fact that blue paint is heavier than white.... so logically your bikes gonna be a bit slower than the blue and white model.  :stir:  :happy1:

Mmmm

Maybe we should all paint our bikes white as the blue skies them down imagine how fast they'd go then .
