our 14's
Very nice Seth! That would have been my ideal too (Wife having one too) but she's given up riding & won't get back on her bike. She's putting it up for sale, it's only her learner bike though, a GN250.
we all start somewhere it's a shame she didn't take to it. dors she go on the back with you as it's good to go on trips/runs together.
my wife had a 1200 bandit when we met but kept taking my old k2 gsx1400 out so when we got married we replaced the older bikes with a pair of k6 gsx1400's
the red and black gsx1400 replaced a very mistaken buy of a b king .
happy with whats in the garage now and don't see anything changing soon.
seth
Yeah, sometimes she does. About an hour is all she can take on the back - reckons it's not comfortable enough - too hard on her backside, but there ya go.
I like doing longer runs & spending a few days away riding, so those are not to her liking.
Lucky lads... my missus hates the bike and no chance she would join me for a ride out :whatever:
Still... she would never deprive me of my passion/obsession as long as I 'check in' from time to time if I'm out and about on the bike.
What's better than a 1400? 2 ! or 3 or .....
we have 3
2 for me and 1 for emma
1 of mine is almost standard red/black touring mods
the blue /white is very modified and still more to go on that
pcv and auto tune next along with a bking front end and brakes this spring.
emma's is standard apart from paint work and touring extra's rack and screen ect.
im on my 5th 14 now made the big mistake if buying a bking 3 years ago but swopped it for cash and the red/black 14.
seth
B-King a big mistake? Do tell...
was not for me or what i do big trips touring.
to much of a sports bike riding position for a man who broke his neck long time ago.
tank range was no use either
nothing particularly wrong with it but a massive mistake for me .
seth
Im one of the lucky ones. The Brides happy on the pillion seat. But does have a couple of rules.
We do have to stop for regular stretches and if I scare her she aint getting back on.
We did have a slow speed slide in the wet at the weekend....... she said "I felt that !"
1st class pillion.
well my wife had never being on a bike at all,until i came along. we have being married less than a year but being together for 3 yrs
i know love ah :onya:
so i had to drive her round the block at 30 mph :cry2: and be a good rider and give way to cars and traffic
first time for everything i know
but she has said in the summer she might go out again. so finger crossed :clapping:
hopefully she'll be back out with you on the bike over the summer so much better to be able to share with her rather than just tell her when you get back home as thats never the same .
a better pic if the spare 14
wow thats the spare ,it looks amasing mate well looked after :clapping: :clapping:
i got it last year 11years old 6500 miles on it
i missed my old K6 that i sold to get a bking
but i didn't like the bking so did a deal for this one its now fine 11500 miles still looks as good tho.
yes this is my first 1400 and i love it even through its not running top end (but it soon will) :onya:
ive had bike from 16 ,,,Not to many years ago ;)
and had all sorts over the years but, i seen one of these a few years back and i said then i had to have one
the red/black 1 is my 6th gsx1400
i just can't see past them for what i do and how i use them .

Same here, but since she has become the perfect pillion , her first long distance was 1500 kms to MCR 7 which was also her first camping in a tent and first bike meet, she also did nine pints of bitter at the Old George bar! in 2009 she stated doing her bike licence but didnt continue when I had an off (shame) Weve since done the Bol d'or and toured most of italy and spain so is now qualified as a keeper :clapping:
yours is a top bike buddy
well looked after
tallman
as they say slowly slowly catch a monkey
the drinking side she is a top girl.... but the tent side hmmmmmmmm not to sure as anything small or anything that buzzzzzz and fly near her and she off ... airborne at me then i find her wrapped around me and she wont let go until its gone lol :rofl2: :rofl2:
i got my first K2 in 2002
never looked back had a 14 ever since brought other 2nd bikes but kept a 14 too and even when i had bigger faster more powerfull ones for me the 14 still rises to the top of the pile everytime.
yes ive had all sort of bike and loved them all
but this 1400 has got me ...... to be fair i saw one a fair few years back and i was hooked then .
just had to wait my time ,as my job never really let me have time to get one ,but now i am in one place i had to have this bike
Here's mine out side the cafe at the bottom of the Lecht on a rare warm sunday morning .... first ride !! :smitten:
Nice looking bike well kept
Lovely roads over there on a nice day nothing better.
:cheers:
Nice hanging baskets.......
Enjoy your summer and the warmer days for riding :cheers:
That bike is looking mighty fine :onya:
