Just saw a B-King in the flesh

I saw it from the side and thought, "longer wheelbase than a Busa? Doesn't look it, actually, it looks quite small for a 1300cc muscle bike all over..."

Then I walked around to the front of it and saw how wide the tank is. You thought the tank on the MT-01 looked a bit silly? You ain't seen nothing.

Never seen one in the flesh yet, but I love it!

[pmapp]

But did you sit on it? It doesn't feel that big when your on it (ooo-err missus).

I'm not overly keen on them. Saw them over at the TT this year at the Suzuki day. Will be interesting to see what after market pipes come out for 'em.

Finally a bike for people of my size...

Maybe someone could buy one for me for christmas?

Oh yeah, and insure it too.

Cheers.

I've just seen one in the suzuki shop next to a busa. Makes the busa look small. The b king is absolutely massive. Exhausts look silly too and it really needs a tail tidy!!!

Thought this was going to be a thread about bread rolls with a patty of meat in them, with hot melted cheese, relish & a pickle

needs a tail tidy

totaly agree

Exhausts look silly

Don't agree with this i like them!!!

Saw the b-king in shirlaws in aberdeen and i want one ( wouldn't be good restricted tho! and my insurance may kill me oh well maybe in another 5 years! )

Its embarrasing for Suzuki I am sure.

Dumbed down completely from the nutty concept bike. Super-charged ,fat rubbered daftness...............to power restricted, plasti-chrome, lardy cop-out.

At least with the MT01, Yamaha said," Here is the bike we would have really liked to have given you, that will be an extra £3.5k, but hold on tight and cover yer ears." (err, anybody actually seen a stagedIII ?)

Could be worse though, you might like it and live in France or Germany, and it gets 106bhp

Back end of the bike (including the cans) looks lovely. I also like the "Helmet" style headlight unit. It's just the plasticwork around the tank and rad I don't really like.

I dont think anyone could use the power it has let alone insure one with a supercharger!.

Yoshi have shown me piccies of twin carbon stubbies they are working on..possibly not out till Jan but they do look nice.

I reckon if you want to learn to wheelie easily...
