Yeah that's why I'm here, bikes without fairing just look better. I'm keeping my eye out for the slightly newer sv1000n which came out after this programme was made but has the amazing 100+ hp v-twin engine. Also just found out Yamaha made an mt years ago which had a crazy 1700 engine, called the mt-01, torque beast!

I love older bikes. I like my old MTS 1000S over the new ones. In the States its funny I've never heard of a Bulldog. I guess I'm not missing much though.
@Floyd_F4 жыл бұрын
a rider should prefer a 1300 with 100hp over a screeching 600cc delivering the same figures, which one do you think will withstand the test of time ? these older bikes were made to last. gotta love their looks too.

I have ridden the Suzuki GSX 1400 for 17 years, so I know my way around it. Tip 1. remove the original 4 into 2 factory exhaust system ( 22 kg's) and fit complete stainless Yoshi system ( 7.5 kg's) The seat of the pants feel is like throwing away a pair of saddlebags full of bricks.... Tip 2. fit a K & N air filter. Tip 3. have the GSX Dynotuned to fix up the lean fuel mix brought on by the Yoshi system and the K & N filter. The results are excellent, the original bike Dyno's at 95 hp, and the new setup makes 125hp at the wheel. This result is not so much how brilliant the K & N filter plus the Yoshimura exhaust system is, I think it highlights how choked up and muffled the factory system is.

Wayne Smith I had a 2002 GSX1400 with an Akropovic, K and N, Techlusion ecu and TTS fitted a set of fast road cams (based on the GSXR750 I think) gave it 136 bhp at the wheel and loads of extra torque. I also fitted a 1 tooth smaller gearbox sprocket. The end result was very very quick on acceleration and I never maxed it out at top end but 160 sitting up with a pillion with a bit more to come. Beat more than the odd plastic rocket in a straight line including a tl1000r when I was 2 up. Sadly a blind idiot pulled out on me and wrote it off I would love another. Only complaint was Suzuki’s have a poor finish
