just picked up a K5 1400, wanted one for ages but finally got myself one. used to work on them at a suzuki dealer i worked at but never had enough cash to buy one :whatever: went for a black one as i like my bikes black :smile2:

Nice , more info and pics and don't be afraid to tell us what's under the cover in the background :onya:
Gidday mate, welcome aboard! Great colour choice too. (Gotta get in quick before the B&W brigade turn up) . . . They're always last to arrive! :whistling:
Black ones have to look good as they are that much slower everyone sees them for longer :lol: :stir:
Welcome mate, gotta start slow I guess...
Welcome.
Good choice on the colour.
Wish mine was that tidy.
K8, the true FE.
Welcome mate, Nice I have the Black one too fantastic bike.
:welcome1: to all things 1402 :cheers:
Welcome Mate. Looks good👍
Welcome to the forum hard road. :onya: I used to think black was the only colour for a bike until I found a bike I wanted that didn't come in black. :) Where are you?
thanks for the welcome guys :onya: I thought their might be the colour abuse :grin: i had a lot of stick for having a BROWN 1200 bandit :rolleyes:
my name it Tony by the way and I live on the west coast of Cumbria. yeah the bike is clean for an 18 year old and only 30,500 miles on it. I tend to go through a lot of bikes but I want to keep the 1400, im 60 next month so this bike will be a keeper.
ive just sold my lovely 1980 GSX1100 ET with a few upgrades to buy the 1400, a sad moment ??? but needs must.
the bike under the cover by the way is a 1979 XS1100.

1400,
1980 GSX1100 ET
3 of my favourites (I'll give the XS a miss though ;) )
You beat me to 60 by a couple of months too. I'm often lagging a bit behind though.
Welcome hard road from another black owner. Is it OK to say that these days ?? Pleased you got the bike you've wanted. :cheers:
Welcome Hard Road :cheers:

its a 1979 XS1100 :onya: bit of a wreck when i got it but looks good now. had 3 in the past and just fancied another project to keep me busy ;) great engine with plenty of grunt but not in the same league as the 1400.
Welcome aboard! Nice bike!
