I fell in love with this bike when I first saw it a year or more ago... it'd be wrong not to get one. This could be the successor to the SV!

Come on.. it looks like it was dropped on it's head at birth! I've always hated mini fairing anyway..

The side fairings definately have the ER6 thing going on. Or the other way round, since the concept for the B-King came out ages ago.

I really don't like the headlight but that's trivial, you could sort that in an afternoon. It reminds me of the reader's bike's page in Streetfighters, there's always one with a really ugly scooter headlight

Hmm, looking at the concept that was released years ago, it seems that either MCN or Suzuki have done a little photoshop work. Almost everything is identical to the concept, even the position of the wheels/tyres etc. They have just added different bars, fairing, paintwork and grabrails and a pillion seat.

I'd be disappointed if MCN have done this themselves just to sell their rag.

Well I would certainly find space in my garage for one! I really do like that! Looks like Bandit/Hornet/Fazer owners are gonna have their hands full with that baby!
