Suzuki GSX 1400 Turbo

I really wonder why Suzuki does not import this bike to the States . Stock it's in fairly lazy tune speaking of cams and the likes but modded it has alot of potential .


That is one large intercooler there

It's not what you'd call *attractive*, is it?

i like it more than the svs and compare it to the looks of the kawi 1400, that thing looks straight from the 70s(the kawi that is)

That's the old oil cooled gixxer motor punched out isn't it? Wonder who put the turbo on it? I think I'd rather have a b-king though.......

I tried so hard to bring one those back from Japan. they are so BAD. Dime a dozen over there. I even thought about shipping one back in boxes and trying to register it as a custom. I talked to a friend in Philly whose mom worked at veh registration......she warned me not to. I want one dem' so bad. They feel light to. Maybe one day when I'm rich!!!

Yep Mr Brown , no doubt I'd rather have a B-King also but that engine would make a fine base motor for drag only bikes and after see'ing what was in the pits at the last PMRA race held here I have to wonder when old air-cooled Zuki cores will become non-existant . Some fast old Zuki's were running and I ain't kidding when I say old .

Just thinking if they brought the bike over 1/4 milers would have a new base motor to play with especially if it came with Bandit 12 type pricing .

I have not seen the bore and stroke on it but did see a dyno sheet and it appears a non-revver . Might be the stroke , head or combo of both . The one engine was cammed though but I know little else about that one engine so just guessing .

Speaking of de-stroking

 It kills me a guy can buy a nice drop forged crank for a Chevy at relative low cost but we have to run welded cranks in the bikes if we run strokers at all .

If I ever hit the lotto I'll strike the forgings 7-8 times and sell Busa cranks on the cheap

It looks cool in an "Old Skool Suzuki" kinda way.

I think I saw it on www.oldskoolsuzuki.info once...
