Not so naked anymore

Just saw these posted on one of the GSX1400 groups on Facebook.

 Horrible

Why would anyone do that to a naked bike 

[Hooli]

Awful isn't it? It's well done but defeats the entire point of buying a naked bike.

[SA14]

Yeah, I'm a nudist. Not for me.

It looks familiar but I'm not up on the models. Is it a custom or from another bike ya reckon?

[Hooli]

I've seen the details of it somewhere, can't recall if it was on here or FB though.

[SA14]

To be honest; even though I loath the application I do admire the execution. Could do with some super shiny forks...lol 

[KiwiCol]

It is well done, agreed.  I think it looks great.  We are all different & our bikes reflect that.   Instead of why?  think, why not.  They've made it how they like it.

Very attractive - but the bikes looks crap 

[Kiwifruit]

Not unattractive, just not naked. Think the angles and proportions look pretty good to be honest. That said l like the look of mine just as it is.... even with its fly screen.

Maybe they really wanted a `pan european` but then realised they`d be too bored riding the Honda !

[gsxbarmy]

I'm not sure if it's off another machine or not; some years back I do recall that a 3rd party manufacturer - in France I think - did bring out a full fairing for the 14 and I suspect that that picture may be of one.

Reminded me of the Suzuki GSX1100F - circa 1990's

Had the electrically height adjustable screen if memory serves me correct.

[DP1400]

A nice spot  - i`d forgotten this bike, not seen one of these for years. Must have been a very short model run, super rare now i guess. Not a bad looking tourer, though I bet it felt a bit underpowered with a load!

[grog]

Not under powered at all. From memory around 130 bhp.No gsx1100 underpowered, were superb in that area. Think the 16 inch wheels gave it weird handling, will have a search. My old gsx11, had gs1000 at same time, no comparison, much faster and fuel efficient. 1000 was a great bike but 4 valver just flogged it. Every bit as quick as 14. Just my opinion. 

[DP1400]

Interesting grog, sounds like it was a really good bike then.

Not sure on your power reference to the GSX-R1100, but mine was awesome, N Model, amazing power everywhere - it absolutely flew. It was a big heavy bike too.....
