Suzuki B-King - Finally gonna be released

[MotoGirl]

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.

BLACK of course! Would do a switcharoo with the silver one and swap the black bits on it with the silver bits on the black one.

[MotoGirl]

No lovey...it's because you're a short arse!

Even so, bike's still ugly

[emaN]

good to see ya practicing your 'john wayne' look in that 1st pic

aesthetically, i don't like the cans and the square-shaped instrument panel/headlight unit.

in the 2nd pic, the angle of the pic probly exaggerates the width of the tank, so i'll be interested to see it 'live'.

Black of course, is there any other colour someone would choose.

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.

It looks wide but it isn't really that wide if compare it to bike with fairing, i mean widest part of the air scope, is only about 25mm wide than say the engine casing, which you think most fairing covers anyway.

John Wayne arn't dead, he is frozen ...

The concept cans looked alright, but in flesh, they are plastic, which looks a bit tacky, but they be long gone pretty easy.

Looks like something that should be in the next batman movie.

Definately fugly.

Well mainly just the exhausts and front headlight.

Meh.

Yellow perhaps?

[beyond]

With the Yoshi exhausts it looks good (in pictures anyway) I can't believe they have such a huge tank and the sucker is only going to hold 16.5 litres???!!!! One overaking manouevre amd your tank is dry. I know with the ram air a lot of fule room is gone but 16.5 litres???

So is the turbo confirmed? as everything i read says NO. to be honest i am not even going to consider this bike if there is no turbo/super

You are correct. The stock B King has no turbo, but aftermarket places in the USA have already got a turbo for it. There's a pic of it earlier in this thread I think.

Yeh but for that kinda money (Bike+turbokit+tuning) i could ship the Rat to Jamie for a full 200+hp kit and tune.
I kinda miss the turbo bikes of the 80's now.....

Looks like the b-king concept is a reality and final details August 2007.

Looking of the photos, still can't really tell if they using the busa, to the gsxr1000 mill.

Either way i was wonder how long before they made this in some sorta fashion, or in theory a bigger version of the gsr600.

That is one bike i would be jump at the chance to upgrade to.

strange, but cool

[Cajun]

mmmm carbon-fibre bking

Some £800 worth of add-ons have been attached to the B-King including engine casing covers, a rear seat cover, side panels, a bellypan, chain guard and housing for the radiator just to name a few.

Nice!

Cranks the price to $25k. If I was going to spend $23k on a bike (and I still might you know!) the extra $2k for those accessories would be spent without a murmur. That looks fantastic.
