    New to KB but not to riding (King_Rider)

    I learned to ride 3 years ago on a Hyosung GT250 comet and started riding to save money on gas and parking. I enjoyed it so much I upgraded to a '99 Suzuki GSXR 750. That was a nice fast bike but not really ideal for my daily commuting due the ride position. When the B-King concept bike became a reality I wanted it, got it and now I commute/ride around on that. An amazing machine with unbelievable torque and power, truly one bike that allows you to discover your own limitations well before the machine's. I look forward to meeting up and riding with you guys and this is my reason for joining KB.

    Like I said I didnt go straight from the GT250, I was riding a GSXR750 for about 8 months before I upgraded to the B-King.

    Welcome to KB man, where eagles fly and the rubber meets road pfffft ok i'll shut up and go grease my push bike !!!
    Eagles lol and when pigs can !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Its not like I am dissing Gixxers, man they are awesome bikes! If Gixxer fans give me grief over that then they need to remember something; the B-King is powered by a big Gixxer enigine (2008 Hayabusa 1340cc) so its still a Gixxer at heart.
