The MCN headline is for the B-King 600 - but the picture shows the B-King 1300 (ie the 'busa based bike). There are no pics of the 600 but MCN says it wont have the braced swingarm and the engine is different (of course!).

I bought MCN again because I had a 50p off voucher from RiDE, and to look through the classifieds. Not convinced tha the standard of reporting has improved though.

They also seemed to like the new MZ ST

have to agree with jon - looks like a big fat man has come along and sat on its headlight.

I think it looks a bit runty.

Er, dont you mean that that the er6 looks like the b-king??? Come to think of it, the MT01 is smilar to the B-king as well.

When the concept was realeased, oooo, 4 years ago, it was rumoured to have a supercharged busa engine in it. Now its getting released with a 600!! Great.

I like the look of it, but feel that theres just gonna be to many clones.

Could this be the end of the road for the Bandit?

Nope - but there is the 1300 Hyabusa engined one !! (pity Suzuki didn't have the 'b*lls' to build the original concept version complete with supercharger though !!)

This is what may tempt me !!
