B-King gets the Yoshi treatment

[Grumpy]

The new B King looks like it's going to be one mean mutha of a bike. Only problem is it's got one ugly looking arse on it. Yoshi reackon they've got the answer. Wot you think?

[blacksheep]

wicked!looks nearly as mean as the fz1n buts its probably a durn sight cheaper

[Ronin]

I'd hit it :rockon:

[Cajun]

yeah i spotted those pipes the other week.

I am waiting to ride one before i decide i buy it or not, have to wait until december, to test ride )c:<

[Clivoris]

Now it's a pretty mental bike.

Pipes are nice, shame about the thing they're attached to.
I'm sure it will be fast as hell and wicked to ride, but it sure as hell is ugly.

[The Pastor]

im sorry b king? tell me more!

Isn't it strange how it's the ugly bikes that seem to develop something of a cult following as time goes on. The Hayabusa is a good example. Many thought it was an ugly beast. Some may say it still is but it has certainly attracted a pretty loyal following. The Katana was very much the same when it first appeared. I have a feeling the B King will be the same.

I guess it's almost a foregone conclusion that an ugly bike will develop a cult following as it tends to polarise opinions for and against.

[Colapop]

I've been a cult follower of this bike since I first saw it... Nadroj's avatar... I have a ride teed up on one as soon as it comes in.

I like it. I'm sure I'll like it more once I've ridden it.

Errr, try the other way around heh. The BKing is more expensive than the new hayabusa.
I love the look of the thing.

Care to share pricing with us please?

they not 100% sure on pricing last i heard from my local dealer, who knows i am keen on one, and we already have an 08 busa on order for father in law.

In the USA b-king is more expensive but in england they are same price, so

[Devil]

Mmm cant remember the exact figures, but according to my local, the BKing was going to be about $1000 more expensive than the busa, with the busa being around (err, i'm a goldfish, so approximately) $22k. Dont take that as gospel however.

yeah dealer told me 22-23k for the busa, were not 100% sure on b-king, but reckon it be same price, have to wait and find out i guess.

[Mr Merde]

Ugly is as Ugly does.

I remeber back in the dim past when the Suzuki 'busa was released.

Allm the UK mags were going on abvout how fast it was but how very ugly it wasa also.

Not many people calling it ugly now.

Merde

[cynna]

dont think i can wait until 2009 for a new bike

[xwhatsit]

Not many people calling it ugly now.

`The Busa is f-ugly'

[Mr Merde]

`The Busa is f-ugly'

Looks good from the rear but the pipes stick to far out the back for my liking, destroys that natural shape of the tail. The yoshis a just seem to work with the arse of the bike better.

[NZsarge]

All the after market pipe set ups are a huge improvement, saw one in the flesh in Palmy Nth, interesting for sure, would I buy one....nah, not at the prices being mentioned on this thread, would have a SuperDuke or a FZ1 with a few mods for the money I reckon. just my 2 cents..

[tri boy]

Could of sworn that Road n Sport had one outside the other day.:scratch:
Don't worry about the back end, the front view is f**king shocking!:sick:
Widest, most slapped together mismatch I've seen for a long time.MHO.

[wilber]

yeah dealer told me 22-23k for the busa, were not 100% sure on b-king, but reckon it be same price, have to wait and find out i guess.

The suzuki nz guy told us at the wmc night the b king was 22-23k and the busa was cheaper didnt hear what $'s were .
