Suzuki B-King - Finally gonna be released

[onearmedbandit]

I don't much care for the "B-King" name. Perhaps this was chosen because "Wan-King" was taken...

By Yamaha?

Steve Dundon just came back from the SNZ Dealer meeting, and it's a totally new 1300 motor. It will be used in the new generation Hyabusa as well.
They say it WILL be the most powerful naked bike....and that's what they said when they released the Hyabusa (although the word naked wasn't used of course). They didn't tell porkies then......Bring it on!

So that does mean that the Hayabusa rumor (new motor) is correct. I take it that the new SV does have a twin plug head, abs, etc? And that we'll be getting the new 650 Bandits?

[onearmedbandit]

And a GSRV800???? Please please please!

[limbimtimwim]

I'm keen.

Would make a great tourer too. I wonder how mental the new 'bus will be? And will it be smaller than the current one?

Looking forward to them both a lot.

Honda would never build either!!

Ooo yeah. That'd be cool.

In the meantime, just punch a hole in the front of your bike and paint it baby-blue.

Ok, here's the part I don't get.
175hp is good for 300kph easily enough on a Hayabusa.

At much over 200kph on a naked bike and your head is bobbing around like - well no need to go there. 250kph and you are freaking horizontal.

What the fuck are you going to do with 240hp on a naked bike?
There would be little point in gearing for any speed beyond 275kph. I can see people twisting the throttle at any speed and going flying off the back of the bike.
It is going to be fucking insane.

it is going to be ****ing insane.

285 on the fightered 10 was pretty sweet i think headlight assembly makes a big difference to how it is in terms of buffeting etc. i'd hope they design it well to be usable like that. 240hp might a bit steep personally but we will see! this will be probably a strip bike so 240-250k on a nice low 9 sec run

Its for the people that spend too much time talking about HP figures I guess.

As far hyper-nekids go I bet/guessing the K1200R shits all over it

[Crasherfromwayback]

As far hyper-nekids go I bet/

How much????

[Babelfish]

For fucks sakes, nobody tell DMNTD!

Yep....and about time I reckon. The current motor has served them proud....but hey....time for an update!

I'll let you know anything I hear regarding SV's etc as soon as I hear about it.

[Colapop]

Looking forward to this bike (B-King) - have been for ages. It is not only a farking hot looking bike but it's farking HOT too!

[DMNTD:Me]

For fucks sakes, nobody tell DMNTD!

LOL...twat! I had pre-ordered one when I was living up North but have since filled the nekkid void.
In saying that if I had the spare money I'd have on in a second.
Oh well,will have to make do with what I've got....for now.

[skelstar]

How much????

You betting again!?!?

Ok, serious question: would it be a seriously good handling bike with 150/240mm wide tyres? Plenty of people moan and groan about how much of a difference a 190 makes to their supposedly good/great handling bikes.

I am guessing it will come with the m/c standard of 120/190(200)
