    GSX1400…Anyone got one Stateside?

    Wanted to see if anyone was able to get one into the US and registered. I have K0 model that I picked up when I was stationed in Japan and lets just say its complete, but disassembled, I’d like to get it back together this summer and registered if possible. I believe its old enough to be imported. Any help is appreciated.

    I'm happy enough with my Kaw ZZR1200.

      I just need advice from someone who imported a non-US spec bike.

        Its a very modern bike compared to the bikes this forum deals with.
        Google up a gsx1400 specific forum you'll deal with a core of gsx1400 users on such.

          Helluva cool bike, though.

            Just google "how to import a motorcycle" X off where they're trying to sell the book, then start reading, Looks like the reading may take quite a while, but worth it, looks like a lot of stuff has got to be done, and done correctly. That'd be like having one of them Canadian General Motors Acadian, 1/2 Chevy 1/2 Pontiac, Beaumonts or Cansos down here in the states. You'd probably never see another Good luck,

              This is a "Wes Cooley" one sold only in Japan....Wes told me he actually got paid royalties for this one

                Beautiful motorcycle, and dang, there's a pair of shocks back there. I've not kept up with new bikes much, but never would have thought that bike, in 2003, would still have twin rear shocks, I thought the mono's were on everything by then, Oh, except Harleys.

                  How does this compare to the B King, which I understand to be a naked Busa?

                      For me, the GSX1400 "looks" waaay less crotch-rockety than the B-King. I think I could be comfortable on a GSX1400, Don't think the same for the B-King.

                        With half the horsepower, I'm not sure that the 1400 would compare to a 'King. Chalk and cheese, as the Brits say.

                            B King has 1.7 times the power! Crazy.

                              Rated 181hp stock. Guess I should have said "around half the horsepower" for you Anoraks.
