It would appear the dealer has built in plenty of  'wiggle room' in that price!


Lets hope they sell it for that amount, re-values the rest of the fleet upwards
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

Took mine in to get MOT'd a couple of days ago at Saltire Suzuki. (Passed by the way)

Was speaking to the Calum the boss. Telling him I was retired.

"Well there's your pension pot right there" he said.

It seems that GSX1400s are sought after.

So, all those folk saying "Your havin' a larf" better think again.

seth

thats more than new price
get real these are great bikes but how much .
a couple more years i can sell our 3 and retire.

:stir:
only a slightly modified gsx1400

When i bought my 14 there were quite a few to choose from. Like more than a dozen.
3 years on and there are just 2 and one sidecar. Still worth good coin here.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

A few things spring to mind....

# That's a very nice bike.

# That's asking price, not a sold price!

# The Renthal bar cover must have been fitted by a drunk!

# Who the f*ck thought that exhaust was a good idea?

# That's way more than I paid for my GSX1400 and Bandit 1200 and GSX1100ET combined !!!

exhaust is a shocker. keep your 14 nice, one day prices will go up. not holding my breath.

I'd rather ride mine & get my moneys worth & enjoyment from it. If you want an investment get a shares portfolio, but that won't entertain you on the twisties.

Tony Nitrous

Rather put as many miles on mine as possible.
The more miles, the more smiles!

Whatever's left at the end I'll restore, fix up or weigh in as scrap.
I have bikes that are more collectable than a GSX14 but they are for riding and having fun on.
If they get a hard life, see some rain, visit the drags or get some battle scars so be it.

Beautiful clean low mileage bikes are nice to buy but not something I'd be proud of owning.

Gotta say that's the pleasure of owning and riding bikes.

Sit down and talk bikes with like minded people. We never discuss just the aesthetics BUT how do they handle, how do they sit on the road, the quirky details that make the ride different to the next. Things like that.

The 1400 will never pay for my retirement but complement my retirement.
I'm loving it.

Tony Nitrous

GSX14's are good looking bikes out of the box.

If you own a Hayabusa or B-King then aesthetics do get mentioned, normally along with Ugly, FTW, I DONT LIKE, you bought that! and bloody hell thats bad... LOL.

My normally reply is "Tyson and Ali didn't win beauty contests"

I saw this one at Mt.Mee recently with 8,000km's in mint condition guy had paid a claimed $8000 Aus for it. All he changed was the little skinny carbon mufflers for the standard bazookas. Mine will be 16yo this year with 129,000 km's on it so worth fuck all $'s to anyone other than me. Reckon I have had my moneys worth 2 times over LMAO.  :rofl3:

That bike did not cost that when new. The modifications add nothing to the price though it does look nice.
Fact is though that it is worth what someone is prepared to pay.
I called into a Suzy dealer in Edinburgh, summer 2011, with a group on tour as one of them needed a new tyre. Whilst waiting they made me an on the spot offer for the 14 as they had customers waiting.
Sure they are not going to depreciate much nowadays and I guess that one is close to being "New" in terms of condition. I prefer Red and Black but I do see that if this was a Blue and White it would be worth more/see faster than a Black.
