I have just noticed this what is described as a stunning GSX1400 for sale on Ebay, anybody notice anything wrong?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296844411245?_skw=gsx1400&itmmeta=01JDT3GAAQ01NQZAT0ZJ258W6X&hash=item451d4e416d:g:RWMAAOSwLrhnSHyi&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKmk34T2mNmWDIKLdGG7cvjFEqQGBukbkPSwOzU7z%2F8KI1hDKHHST8VRAX%2BGOioEXPfsDtDaoSxkVMwab%2B2mX44lMA%2FndAx%2BygEmo24QIYnppCxAHD%2BfYP8q7oF3kP6U2LALXk2MbvHSRY9JV68Mkwf5ckZViV%2B791tvULK0z7D88E1av1uJNTiyuo5dsph7l0vCe5lLyJEJuChlScR6WJlnbZ2irVTv6Ka4jwNpeVAbLmJx3mRWVrtXVlZG8mttfF3x49qQsB%2FIi9yuF6XWhHkI%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7SlwcPuZA
It's one of those that they forgot to put any colour on?
Yep. won't spoil it. How'd they make it fit though??
Go on..........do tell. The suspense is killing me :whatever:
Well where does one start - its certainly not standard that's for sure - and its hardly "stunning" either IMO. At a quick glance....
The headers are an absolute disgrace!!!!!
The top fork shrouds are missing
The headlamp shrouds have been sprayed black
HEL Cooler fitted in black - would one really replace the original after only 3,560 miles? Possible but unlikely
Undertray has been modified at the back
Very odd aftermarket indicators
I didn't know the FE came in black...
The top mounting brackets for the headlight assembly are inside out, they'd have to have them upside-down & swap side to side to get them like that, but how did the headlight assembly still fit?? :happy1:
It's a Bush Pig.....
I think FE stands for something else in this case: "Fecking 'Ell" comes to mind...
Dodgy As, maybe they mean 3,600 miles this year.😂 I just had a look at 14 for sale here in Oz. One is listed as perfect original condition. I zoomed in on it, more corrosion than Titanic. Do these people actually have conscience, sleep at night. I guess not. 😡
F***ng hell, it's a badly assembled chaved up tart's handbag. Should be about half that price to cover the work to rebuild it as I wouldn't trust it till I knew it was assembled right. Anyone too dumb to put the headlight brackets on properly can't be trusted to do any of the other stuff it's had done. Plus the cost of an undertray so it looks like a bike again, along with a few other bits.
Well I could not resist, I messaged the seller last night telling them that the brackets between the upper and lower yokes were fitted the wrong way, and also if you look closely unless they are some strange aftermarket parts the header pipes are on the wrong way around, the collector box end looks to be at the top! Not to be funny, more to stop an accident happening
Just looked again now and the Ebay auction has been ended, 20 minutes after they replied to my message this moring with simply a thumbs up. I hope as they have realised the bike needs some serious work doing to it, and not that some poor sod has spent their hard earned on a meccano set that will cost them a shed load to put right or even worse have an accident. I'm sure I saw the same bike being advertised privately a week or two ago, must have sold it to the dealer who has it now on the cheap to off load
Well done Will, sorted them out 👍

They weren't that price new 🥸
My 2001 with 170,000 kms must be worth $10K then 💰💰💰

That's the most expensive I've seen, but it's also one of the lowest mileage.
I see plenty of bikes going for more than their original price, from early GSXR's, Katana's to '99 Busa's and R7's etc, but I don't value the 14's up there personally.
Still got the original tires on! Yeah, like that's a big plus selling point!
£8k for a 14? :lol: :lol:
Two words, the second one is off! It's an old Jap bike & as good as they are it's not a classic & never will be. Classics don't come in metric!
Mine was first rego'd in 09 must be one of the last to Reg in NZ ???
Now done 44,000kms Not selling.
But if I did I thought it was worth about $6500 ?
Have to disagree Hooli, metric classics for sure.All ill say, the old story, each to their own👍
