So 3 of my favourite bikes are all 1400cc-ish.

1. GSX1400, obviously.

2. Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring

3. Kawasaki 1400 GTR

(aside from the capacity, can you see another theme running through these? )

Naturally not ALL 1400cc-ish bikes are good....

That was 2009 so it doesn't appear so.

I have a GTR1400. 2010 model
It's an incredible bike. A proper mile eating ballistic sofa

Stoli... I do like that Kwacker. That would probably be the bike for me IF I were to change from the GSX. No plans for that tho.... :)

And I hate predictive text!! :facepalm:

100% recommend a Gtr.
I have the gsx for fettlin and the GTR for touring. It's crazy how long you can go on these things without a twinge of aches.

Tat one.... if you dare

I was very keen on the GTR1400, had the K1600 not come about the year I was intending to upgrade I probably would have bought one.
