    Great video dude. After 12 years of zzr 1400, and 62 years old geezer, I decided to get gtr 1400, and absolutely love it. Great review. Keep them coming.👌

    Hi Jonny, I'm totally for having a sports tourer, nothing else for me. Also a nice range like I have on my st1100, that's what I enjoy. It's old though, 20 years older than yours is.
    I wish you many fun miles and enjoyment on it!
    Thanks for taking us along. Cheers 👍💪✌

    I’m a proud owner of a 68 plate ZZR 1400 PS but was just looking at the same bike to add to it. I missed out on one exactly the same as yours so may just wait now until the right one comes along .

    Thank you for review. This is my next bike. I am still using Kawasaki Versys 650, that bike just can't die, I don't know how to get rid of it... It just works.
    But I do 3000km a month, so this is it. If I want to change my bike, when my Versys 650 will be gone, I will probably have to wait a decade... 😂😂 I vote only for Japanese bikes!

    Coming from 8 year "marriage" with a 1000 Vstrom from 2002. Im drolling over this bike so bad, zzr 1400 also. Planning to get one in the future but im still on the fence with them 2, probablly ill get the zzr1400 because i never had a sportbike. But GTR it really hides its weight really good, shaft drive and power is like no other.... Such a underrated bike and low profile one ( to the coppers). Ride safe God bless!

    What are they like compared to the st13?

    • @JonnyLeeguitarist
      @JonnyLeeguitarist  Місяць тому +1

      It definitely has more power than the ST13 , the engine is more refined and smoother and I find this a lot easier to manoeuvre than the Honda . Thanks for watching mate .
