Mr Fro Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 For anyone considering the GSX1400 I was staggered at how high up the weight felt and how high the seat height was.I was disappointed as I was considering another retro I had a CB13 when they came out and still have a soft spot for big naked bikes. I've eyed up the GSX14 a squillion times but haven't quite got round to riding one so it's interesting to hear your view.I think if I ever get round to selling the turbo bike I'll definitely take a spin on one.

I believe the C.O.G on the CB1300 will feel considerably lower and I know the seat height is as I have parked the ZRX next to both models and the Honda is the lowest !The GSX is the same seat height when the ZRX is on the paddock stand lol.CheersIan Quote
Mawsley Posted April 27, 2020 Author Posted April 27, 2020 For anyone considering the GSX1400 I was staggered at how high up the weight felt and how high the seat height was.I was disappointed as I was considering another retro and even being of reasonable leg length I could see it was an embarrassing situation waiting to happen. Depends what you're coming off previously I guess. Mine was compared to an Ultraglide Classic. Quote
Ian Frog Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 As you are local may I ask which dealer you are waiting on?CheersIan Quote
runningman Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Got my MY13 Street Triple R from them. It was a year old, ex factory bike so still got the 2 year warranty....which was useful as the clutch needed to be replaced as it approached the end of the warranty period. Quote

manxie49 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Really nice bike Mawsley One thing I've learnt over the years is "life's too short", enjoy it while you can mate, you'll have a massive smile on your face the day you pick it up and that's what its all about Quote
runningman Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Nice one! It's going to be a long 7 days!Got my Street Triple R from Pure Triumph at Wellingborough. They were easy to deal with. Quote
Guest Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Let the countdown commence.I have a date on Wednesday. They'll find a reason not to let you have it Dave!They obviously consider you to be the sort of client that they'd prefer their competitors to have.So the boys on the board came up with a plan........

Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday - if I fill them with sex parties and wheelbarrows full of hard drugs the time will fly by. Quote
