WOW, Thank you MUCH for jamming one of these NOT on an Iron Maiden cover. Nothing against Maiden, but I just ordered the Murray setup because I wanted some buckers in my strat.
😂 Couple of years older than you and can totally relate to this review, like your sense of humour. I’ve hit my eye on one of these or FJR1300, can’t make mind up yet! Subscribed
Bought the older ZG1000A17 (GTR1000/ Concours) instead as was cheap as chips from a mate who had it for 15 years. Knew its history and love it. But heart says I need a GTR1400 when older. I'm only 69!
I get it. Love your humour and honesty. Like you I've had all types/ brands of bikes except a trials slow rock climber. At the end of the day it is just about the ride and still being able to ride at near 70. Current two wheels are Kymco AK 550 maxi scooter and Kawasaki ZG1000A17 (Concours). Like riding both but for different reasons and rides.
Great video man. Very informative. Just wanted to ask you a question since mentioned that u gigged this pedal. Aside from the stereo XLR outputs, what do u use for a monitor? I mean the DSM SIMPLIFIER X has a 1/4 " out where u can go to a cab without using the cab simulation. When u r going straight to FOH, are monitors not really necessary? Thanks for your answer.
Just changed the factory rear brake pad at 30k miles. Fronts original pads are still at least 50% life. Engine braking helps slow this pig down very well.
@@JonnyLeeguitarist I started on a cbr600rr and still have it. I ride my concours like a super bike not so much a touring bike. I got a tune and governor delete to really get the most out of it. Saving up for a Yoshi full system for gen 1 zx14 now then re tune after install. Also gonna get the copper dog sport screen for better aroes at top speeds. So far I’ve hit 175 with just a tune and K&N air filter. I weigh 140 lbs but the bike feels light to me. Love the GTR1400!
The fuel range thing is an instantaneous range that only considers your actual current throttle position (fuel lbs/hr being put out by the injector nozzle) along with rpm (injection pulse rate) and fuel remaining in the tank. With each minor change of the throttle, the Calc is effected in a large way. So that whole range screen should have been deleted and never seen. Instead, they only needed the instant and the average economy. The data is in the ECU to look at average economy vs. fuel remaining to extrapolate a rough range estimate based on how the driver has been driving the bike. Why they decided to put this completely useless window as an option is baffling to say the last.
Had my 2012se a bit now and recently had it remapped .. never liked the snatchy low end throttle and the crappy fueling … £420 quid later it’s literally perfect .. extra 10bhp and 18lb extra torque and the low end is impeccable… I’ll never sell this bike .. goes like a stabbed rat 🐀
@@JonnyLeeguitarist had a gsxr 1000 k7 for 8 years before this bike and it was crippling me as I’m now 50 .. got the tiger and now it’s mapped I wish I’d bought one years ago . That triple engine is a monster of torque . 6th gear now at 40mph and It’s throttle and go and I mean go.. and she looks amazing
There’s a guy in Florida called “shoodaben engineering” the reflashes the ecu on these and versys 650 to mellow the jagged edges of the fueling and make more mid range torque
In my opinion, the reason that the Pan did not sell well was that Honda wanted to protect its Gold Wing sales. Therefore, the Pan had little or no advertising, nor much updating. A shame, really. I had my 2004 ST1300 ABS (Pan) for 5 years, riding over 50K miles. A very good bike, spoiled by poor suspension with too little fork rake, and too dim lighting. I added a Penske shock with a 1300 pound spring to the rear, and Race Tech fork dampers with Sonic, 1.2Kg/mm springs to the front. That raised the front-end about one inch (dynamic sag), and the back-end about one-half inch. That, and PIAA 910 lights on Seng mounts, and fog lights mounted on the tip-over covers made 75 mph cruising at night a joy. Perfect!
I need to give this a go, we have ONE song that the band (bass player) learnt in the wrong key (learnt it concert but it was already detuned and has been playing it that way for years) - the band plays detuned for everything - so I have a 2 stops down guitar I have to swap to for 1 song!! Wireless and strap, what a pain!
I got rid of a vfr 1200, good bike but did not like the noise of it. Its just does not compare to the ZZR, it will potter about or go mental. Nice route you were on.
@@JonnyLeeguitarist awesome im looking to not drag my expensive tube amp around and im getting older so this could be my solution ? sorry for the newbie questions , thanks a lot👍🏽
I own a 1991 st1100 Bought it three years ago for 500 euros. Had to weld the rusted exhaust, but the swing arm seems perfect. It has run 167.000km, sounds still ok, but not as smooth as yours. I swapped the handle bar for a bmw k100 to raise the grips a bit. I would love to raise the seat a bit (I am 6’6”). Rear shock will bottom out on bumps. Could be showing its age. I will not sell it, just keep it running and maybe buy something on the side.
All these good comments so here's mine. I have an '07 blue that I bought new , still looks new with 75,000 miles on it. Akrapovic carbon fiber pipes , power commander , frame sliders (not used). Funny google thinks I misspelled Akrapovic. 170 h.p. at the wheel that's at 5,000' where I live in Az. Original slipper clutch , on second set of front brakes and fourth set of rears due to peddling , keep that front wheel somewhere near the ground. I just turned 78 and my bike makes me feel like 25 again.
Absolutely loved the review! Including poking fun at us Americans 😂 long time Gtr rider myself. I specialize in accessory weather protection. Love to see a review.
Another thing to watch out for is too much low-end with the EQ after the amp. We all have a habit of really overdoing it to make up for the fact our tone isn't coming from a real physical space, so we pile on the 110-150Hz trying to make up for that, and we end up with something that just sounds like a mess and doesn't have any articulation to it. I'm also a stickler for my midrange--I like mine balanced and clear. Nothing honky, squawky or nasal for my rhythm tones; with leads, I'm a bit more forgiving.
Late coming across the video but agreed with everything you said about group rides. I’d love to find some biking buddies to ride with but the few times I’ve tagged along with younger riders they’ve all buggered off and left me in the dust. I’m a fairly sensible rider now after growing out of my silly phase on my GSX-R. If I’m riding with others I keep it pretty level headed, because I wouldn’t want to put others at risk by pushing them into riding beyond their comfort zone for the sake of keeping up with me. Great bike btw, I’m looking at getting one myself soon! Hoping to get a test ride in the next week and go from there, absolutely stunning machines!
Picked up a 2009 with 1550miles in 2020... I wish it was the mean green but....after running my 1998 zx9r for years... Good Lord is it A very light and B...scary!!! I hope you still have it!!
Own a 2005 for 7 years now, first used as a track bike. reversed the shifting. power commander. zzr 1400 brakes . 2010 zx10 radiator for better cooling. Now Installed a triple clamp to hold a super bike handle bar( had to cut some off the fairing. Put softer springs in the forks. Lowered the foot pegs. Had a 20mm higher seat made, and now use it as a touring bike. Rides like a super fast Z1000SX. 👍
I'm curious. I see loads of these things. They're always very expensive. Is there anything this does that I can't do with a cheap laptop, a midi pedal, an interface, and plugins?
The JMP is so good. I've gigged with the SBUK since it came out & mainly use the JMP voice. It would have been nice to have the three AMPs foot switchable. Doubt I will use the Reverb & Limiter foot switches since I always play with them on. But, I may have to get this anyway simply for the stereo outs & the stereo fx return.
