Afternoon guys!
The Busa replacement has finally arrived, after what has felt like a bloody long time, the K5 14 was delivered this morning.
If you have been following my post you will know I had a stunning Busa that I loved but the bugger no longer loved me in that I simply couldn't contort my aging bones to ride it in comfort any longer.
In the past I had a nice K7 14 that I wished I had never let go so decided I would swap the Busa for another 14.
The Busa went the first day of sale and the search begun for a 14. I looked a quite a number of bikes but wasn't drawn to any for all sorts of reasons, finally I spotted one at the stealers which from the pics and description had me interested, I made some calls and decided that although overpriced it was likely something similar would take some finding, I managed to get a few quid off and did something I said I would never do again which was to buy on line without seeing, waiting for delivery has had me wondering what the hell I was thinking of and if when delivered what I would do if it was not as described, well thankfully I am now the proud owner of a very nice and honest 14, there are things for me to do to make it to my own taste but nothing that puts me off it at all.
By the way, I was after a red black 14 but nothing doing, this is an all black bike with a tank cover.
I know we like pics so here are some to be going on with.
Why shake, rattle and roll when you can ride in style, get yourself a GSX1400..........................Any colour as long as its?

Well Red, the priority is a summer of riding, any mods will be saved for winter unless necessary, I'm hoping that as it has only covered 7 k miles and looks and runs in order that I wont need to touch it,
Suspension and brake tweaks followed by aesthetics mods are possibly priorities. :cheers:
