SUZUKI GSX-1400 (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Suzuki GSX1400 was manufactured between 2001 and 2008 as a muscle bike intended to deliver more power, torque, and up-to-date technology than its similar sibling, the Bandit 1200.

At first, the bike was manufactured only for Japan and Europe, although they tried to make it available in the US and Canada. With a redline at 9,000 rpm, the GSX1400 didn't require more than 7,000 rpm because it had a strong low and mid-range performance.

Over the years, the UK models changed in detail, such as the wheel color changed from white to black, the four-in-two exhaust changed to a four-in-one system, and the Yoshimura branded mufflers.

In 2004, Suzuki launched the GSX1400 model, which came with a new graphic design for the tank and the tail section, while the wheels received a black coating that matched the darkened trim of the engine and engine covers.

The sober livery made the GSX1400 look more aggressive, maybe because it was less flashy. Still, the retro vibe was intact, with the dual flared exhaust silencers and their chrome finish, the round headlight, and the one-piece, two-up profiled seat.

In the power department, the 2004 Suzuki GSX1400 had its heartbeat set by a 1,402cc inline-four 16 valves air/oil-cooled engine that delivered 106 hp at 6,800 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 5,000 rpm.
