Title: GSX 1400s
Post by: Globalrider on Thursday, 28 May 2026, 08:03 AM
I have been trying to get a collector plate on the 2003 1400 here in BC but as it is now only 23 years old I have to wait another 2 years to meet the eligibility criteria. UNLESS!!!! Suzuki made less that 1500 of them. I think they made many more but does any one have the exact numbers that were produced?

Dealing with bureaucracy is no fun!!!
Cheers
Stan

From the vin I have determined my. Ike was built in 2022 and is 1900 off the production run so I have to wait until next year to get a collector plate!
Struth!

I think you mean built in 2002 Stan?

A 2022 GSX1400 would be very cool indeed.

My K3 is Dec 02 built and #427 or #100427.

I doubt there were over 100,000 built, and I haven't decoded the vin, so i don't exactly know what the '1' means, so I assume mines #427.

I also have to wait until 2028 to get a 'historic' plate and save on registration and insurance costs.  The limiting thing is though it then becomes a restricted use vehicle.  At the moment its fully registered and insured,  so I can just ride it whenever and not think about it.

Thinking about this now, if mine is #427 and built  in December, it would indicate that in a calendar year that the factory did indeed build less than 1500 units.

Are they talking 1900 of the GSX1400 model or of the specific variant you have Stan?  Is yours a K3?  Might be less than 1900 k3's built.
