Hello greetings to everyone here I would like to share my story, currently working in Sydney.
Tested for a ride before New Year and traded in my CBR`07 to the B-king 2 1/2 weeks a go, did comparisons before decided . Took it home, ride on the week end and all the rumors, hate, all bad words about B-king are Lost and Forgotten.
Perhaps this bike is not comfortable if you have long legs due to the design of the bike well it's call future concept bike.
B-king may looks and feel heavy bike but when I rode on the roads, I feel it’s lighter than my previous CBR . Good balance, cornering and powerful engine using the same K8 Hayabusa engine. For instance I really like the power when I over took the cars and cruising speed in the Highway as no vibrations over 100 kms >
Here some photo regarding the mileage using A mode all the times.
I still got half tanks when it reaches 153 Km….

Reached 255 km when both indicators flashing on reserve tank

When I reached Caltex near home it was 261 km on the odometer and re-fill with Premium 15,4 Liter to full the tank.
Hei, I still have more than a liter left on the tank (16, 5 fuel capacity Max for the B-king)

I have not try on B mode switch yet where I’m pretty sure I could reach more mileage around 300 Kms in a fuel tank with B-king.
Note:
S-DMS (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector), that allows the rider to choose from two different engine settings depending on riding conditions or rider preferences, perhaps the rider can choose mid range power if he wants it.
A mode = full speed power 100%
B mode = Lower speed around 70% (rain, cruising speed..)
