The GSX1400 was a Suzuki muscle bike standard motorcycle, made from 2001–2007, as a faster and more powerful premium offering, upmarket in relation to Suzuki's similar Bandit 1200.[1] The GSX1400 was characterized as a "disco-era",[2] "seventies-style metal mountain", but loaded with the latest technology. [3] Though some journalists lobbied for the GSX1400 in the US and Canada,[2][4] it was only sold in Japan and Europe.[5]
