Post by: Smokegetsinyoureyes on Wednesday, 20 August 2025, 06:41 PM
Hi,newbe here from Carrickfergus N.Ireland.As I've just purchased my first GSX1400,, 9000miles pick it up this Friday. I've been looking on and of for quite a few years now, but being a fussy bugger I just couldn't get the right one. Now I've picked up a mint 04 registered k3 model to keep my XJR1300 company, look forward to using the site.

I was born in Carrickfergus live just up the road from it now at Bellevue, but I'll only be here for another 5 week if you want to catch up.

Hi Chris, I have not got a clue, see them occasionally on the road, a mate in Carrickfergus has one hardly used.
My K5 here will be staying a mate is borrowing it in my absence along with my car (how generous am I).
My K7 is still in Oz under wraps, that should be interesting as to how that goes.

It is indeed, and you owned one yourself I'm sure this must be N.A. that was a long time ago.
Caught up with Tim a couple of weeks back down at the Rinka he was on the water bucket.
Only 4 weeks until I fly out so will come down and see you.
