Hi all,

Thought I'd introduce myself and show a pic of my new ride. I picked up a low Km 06 GSX1400 today for a decent price. Keen to learn a lot more about them, always admired the muscle bike look and after test riding I knew why people owned them.

My previous 2 rides were:
2021 Z H2 supercharged
2013 ZX14R SE

I'm located in Mandurah WA any members down this way feel free to say hi.

Hey Mutchy, not far from you, I'm in Baldivis.  I will look out for a black (i.e. slow) 1400 on our roads then.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Welcome Mutchy, good looking bike you got yourself there.
Take no notice of the blue rinse brigade they'just want a pretty bell like the one on the blue bike behind yours for their bike
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Not as far as I'm aware, he barely rode it and had it stashed away. Only has 30kms on the clock which seems to be just run in for these things.

My first one has 10 times that on the clock & was running absolutely sweet as a nut prior to it's last unwanted adventure. You won't wear one of these bikes out if you remember to service it.

30 kilometres or 30,000 kilometres?  If the former, it'd be almost brand new.

Wish it was 30 but it's 30,000
