    agree, low ground clearance, and my god looking stright at them it looks like a bus. Bus king maybe? but nice and tight to throw around (does not feel like a 1300 bike) and good power forgot the kgs but feels lighter and maybe better balanced then the busa. i give 7.5 out of 10 would give 8.5 if they did something about the width of the damn thing.

    Suzuki B king

    Well i have had my B king for around five months now and absolutley love it, i did have a 2008 z1000 but once i test rode a bking for a day then my mind was made up, made my z1000 feel slow and sluggish, as for the size etc of the wee beasty the bking really loses all this once to you get going.I did find it felt quite heavy on the steering at slow speed, which i would put down to the steering damper needed to keep it all stable at speed. I have also lowered it by about 40mm having short leg syndrome lol, by making some new linkages, being i make custom parts this was no problem and has made a big difference when riding slowly. All and all its not going to take luggage etc if you want to carry some gear get the missus to carry it on her back lol, have done 300 Plus k in a day two up and have had no problems, and as for the tank range i have found you can get alot more than the 200k people have been quoting, unless you travel at warp factor 7 everywhere that is.
    I think each to ther own im personally going to change the look of mine through paint and some nice custom made accessories as i have never been one to leave anything alone and like it to be mine n ot the same as everyone elses. So to sum up fo me if you were into the old muscle bikes of there day gsx1100 and cbx1000 z1000 etc but want more power and better realiability then buy one you wont be dissapointed.cheers.
