Suzuki GSX1400
« on: October 31, 2024, 08:22:37 PM »
Lotta bike, not a bad price, not my cup-of-tea, very popular with the sidecar crowd, heaps of torque, may be of interest to someone here:

Rode one of these from Guyra to Tenterfield (on the way to Wooli in 2017), about 180km, slipped into 6th gear (what the ST1300m should have), all the way.  Yeah, plenty of torque.

Motorcycling, the best time you can have with your pants on.

Afterlife, up there for the climate, down there for the company.
If I'd known I was gunna live this long, I woulda looked after myself better

Yeah, not needed but wanted.

Great for helping fuel economy, but other than that, probably not really needed...
