I really like what they are doing with that 1300 muscle bike, very nice apart from those awful ventilator shaft exhausts!

The K7 definitely gives me the impression that they have all but run out of ideas and just added a couple of gimmiicks. I think sales of K6 GSX's are going to go through the roof over the coming months.

But yeah,yeah what do I know?

So much for MCN saying that the B-King would have the 6 cylinder stratosphere motor. What a whopper.

B-King: Oh dear. I can see that flying out of the showroom in similar numbers to Yam's MT-01.

"Riders will now be able to choose between three different kinds of power delivery simply by pressing a switch on the bars."

A great idea, but why not put this on to a sports tourer (not the SV; I mean some alternative to the VFR800i)? I think it'd be great on "working" bikes, but lets be honest, anything with a 'busa engine is primarily going to be used as a toy and I imagine most people will want it full power all the time.

"everything that was promised". But not supercharged eh? Interesting though, Suzuki were saying that the GSX1400 would be their "last naked musclebike"

I think it'll be more GSR 1300 than B-King concept, should still be a cracking bike tho.
