Yes they are coming. Contact your nearest Suzuki dealer for more info. Early November - EAGERLY awaited. Sure not everybody will like them, but I'm sure as hell gonna find out if I will by getting a test ride as soon as possible!!

The bking won't be here to buy until late December/early January maybe.

It will be at Big Boys Toys in early November.

Pretty much it's a naked 'busa, so you are looking at 175hp @ rw or thereabouts (they have not detuned it). It's 230kgs dry and it's speed is limited to 150mph. The speed is easy enought to fix.

This bike is based on a concept that Suzuki made 4-5 years ago. The concept had a super charger and was putting out 250hp using the old 'busa motor. There was meant to be a lot of fighting with the concept/production designers. There is only about 2-3 things that are missing off the concept/production model, the major one being the supercharger. In saying that, there are already turbo kits for the 08 'busa, which this is same thing. It's easy enough to bolt and you don't have to worry about that pesky fairing getting in the way.

Cajun has already lined up a test ride as soon as he can, since he is keen on getting one himself.

I have a Suzuki brochure I scanned & some 08 Busa info.
Get away - I get the first demo!

I think of these as the Suzuki interpretation of the MV Agusta Brutale.

I would love to own one.

yeah Cajun has a bunch of info already, father in law already has an 08 busa on order, and with Cajun lined up 08 bking, and local dealer, will have one of first one he can get his hands on for him to test.

Yep, I like them. Yoshi have a pipe system already which cleans up the arse a bit.

Test runs have all been positive with great handling.

I am thinking the Yoshi's will look better from the rear, they certainly look better from the side on profile.

i agree, thought the er6f looked good untill i saw it in the flesh, now i think i may go naked, as for the bking, it looks horny :headbang:

[Colapop]

I like it so much more with the Yoshi tail tidy. I expect Akrapovic will have their own version soon enough (like Akra's more...)

[Mad Mick]

Thank god we are all different when it comes to Bikes you love it or hate it.
Could be the ( Marmite Bike )
I love it so I got one. I was lucky to have test rode the only one in the UK last summer. It`s a very different bike to most, The back end has the Biggest exhaust in the World ( Alpine Horns ) but you can change them. Test ride one I think you may be surprised
its not every ones cup of tea.

Last Bike`s 1250 Bandit and GSX1400 loved them both so I would say the B King is the best bike I have had.

Mad Mick UK :scooter: :yes:

[DingoZ]

Agreed you either like the look of them or not..

It's definetly a play toy thats for sure...:)

Gunna take one for a blat when I am able to.....
