Suzuki B-King - Finally gonna be released

[Cajun]

Well i hope the performance is all its meant to be as in my opinion fwiw it wins ugliest of the decade so far

people called the busa ugly and its a cult classic.

Has Mr Suzuki announced a recommended retail price for these things?

busa is meant to be 22ish, so i am guessing 23k for bking,

Dude you get to see it this friday so shutup.

yeah i know, perv is differnt than riding it

[Cajun]

Suzuki will be showing the bike at "Big Boys Toys" in a couple of weeks for the masses.

Yeah i get a good perv this friday (c:<

For a naked 1300? I would have thought that $20k would have stopped it.

Went to the Suzuki B King unveiling this evening held at MotoGB at Mt Maunganui. This is the first public viewing of the B King in New Zealand.

First impressions of it in the flesh:

• Even though it has an 805mm seat height, it's very tall due to the width of the seat, which I'd say is probably a foot wide.
• It's very, very wide around the sides of the tank / ram air.
• You'll either love this bike or hate it.
• You'd have to do something with the exhausts because they don't look finished.
• You can definitely tell it's from the 'busa because I spotted some mounting bolts that you could use to attach a fairing to it.
• Overall, the fit and finish of the bike feels good.

I'm still very interested in one of these and have already jacked up a test ride for when MotoGB gets a demo.

I know where you can get that fixed...

[riffer]

Ooooer. It's got a bloody wide tank.

I reckon I'd bash the sides of it lane splitting.

You're gonna get a strong neck riding that sucker Neal.

Yeah it was coming from Suzuki NZ, up to Tauranga, before it head to auckland for big boys toys

I know where you can get that fixed...

Does not effect me to much, but might effect some people who see the seat height and think its looks low, which is not since seat is so wide

The bike is so bloody wide I couldn't reach the ground even if it had no seat! There's no way I could ever ride this monstrosity because it its height and width

[Waylander]

Sounds like a bike Cajun should definitely get then.

It's not s big as I'd thought it would be actually.

Seeing those pics of you on it Cajun, the only thing looking wrong is the exausts look far too long IMO, the rest of the bike looks great, what colour you thinking of getting.
