The Suzuki 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] The bike was sold from 2001 in Australia too, the last models, virtually unchanged except for colour schemes, being sold in 2008. ref: http://www.mcnews.com.au/testing/suzuki/gsx1400/page1.htm It is redlined at 9,000rpm but there is little point in taking it past 7,000, relying on its waves of torque rather than ultimate horsepower. The last model was a "special edition" released in Australia in the second half of 2008. http://www.themotorreport.com.au/5739/suzuki-special-edition-gsx1400-unveiled
