Member Info: I Live for bikes, (donīt we all!) Sold the fazer AGAIN!!! after saying never would, got an offer i couldnt refuse. bought a bike ive been after for a while....THE GRUNTMASTER GSX1400, very heavy, very comfortable, got it handling really well (for what it is ) though 4500kms out of a set of tyres is killing me (currently using BT020 Bridgestones)
