I will buddy
If I ever get a go on a 1550 or 1700 kitted gsx1400 then who knows where it will end lol.
I'm lucky/unlucky as we don't have kids and both have reasonable jobs(tho I just gave mine up while moving)
So we can please ourselves pretty much.
I broke my neck in a car crash 30 years ago so carn't ride sports bikes or fighters sports bikes.
So as I'm a massive muscle bike fan having had old Z's and GS's I wanted a big comfy reliable muscle bike I think that's where I am now .

It's not for everyone or easy if you have other commitments.

I'm lucky I can and gave my std bike to use while I play with the other bike

:onya:
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

Cant agree, with suggestions to get other bike if you want more performance and speed...
It would be absolutely different bikes, and they cant be compared with 14.

For me, beauty of Yosh cams is - on lover revs, bike behaves normal, but if you need, you will get extra 20% power on higher revs.
Also - for me 14 is not transportation but modification project. It's engine was designed during "golden era of engineering" when technologies were advanced enough and not limited so hard yet with ecological and business regulations. Because of this, it have big potential, and it's fun to make it as good as possible.
I repeat - this is FUN, not common sense :)

IMHO  :hat:

ARH

Cant argue against that logic Northern!   At the end is all about having fun...  :cheers:

All is about fun for me. After a few years, you get used to every performance and you need to go further.... nothing more, nothing less in my opinion. For me best mods was:

2. Akrapovic full race exhaust system
3. Yoshi cams + PC V + autotune

BUT NUMBER FIRST MOD FOR PERFORMANCE WAS QUICK REACTION THROTTLE FROM YZF R1. CHEAPEST MOD AND HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Best mod in ratio price vs. fun for me.
