Went over to Ford and Ellis at Chesham last night to have a look at the beast.
It looks great but i'm still not sure about the pipes, tank is huge and according to the specs it weighs in at a heavy 235kg. There were no power or torque figures but a guy from Suzuki reckoned 184bhp...
Apparently it uses the 2008 Busa motor.
The B King must be a very important model for Suzuki as a guy has come over specially from Japan for the B king roadshow(suzuki words not mine!)

It's typical.

The concept looks cool but the production bike looks shite.

Why is it most of the time this happens?

B King must be the worst name in MC history.

OTOH the bike looks fierce.:smoke:

Shame they didn't supercharge it, would have been good to see something different

First the 'busa, now this

Have Suzuki's design team been hitting the sake too hard?

Yawn! It's wearing a little thin now, don't you think?

I wonder if it will be a watered down busa motor.

Porbably de-tuned or whatever the thing is that happens once you take the fairing off a bike...

It does, and it doesn't

Looking at individual bits, most of it looks the same, and yet the whole looks different - much less aggressive to the prototype IMO....
