Suzuki B-King (2007 - present)

Our Review

Reviewed: by Visordown
If, like me, you can't stop associating the Suzuki's name with the burger joint, then let me put you straight. Suzuki wanted this bike to 'Be The King'. The letter 'B' is the key. Boost is the big powerful engine, Block Beauty is the various 'blocks' of styling that add ...  Continue reading

Not the physco bike you’d expect, big powerful cruiser and great on the autobahn. An older, wiser rider’s missile, not for inexperienced riders. VERY VERY F**KIN BIG Continue reading...

Cracking bike and I have had all sorts of various makes and styles. Smooth effortless power with grunt throughout the range. Build quality is good and my missus is happy with the pillion perch.

I have become the posser of a 2008 b king. This is only year that it was offered in the states. It was hard to find one,because so few were sold.The test ride was what sold me on this machine. The only thing that had came close was a bike set up for the drag strip. It had no handling at all except in one direction,which was forward.The first to go was the bazooka tail pipes. A two brothers exhaust system and power commander were added to round out changes. It would be nice if the tank were just a little bit less in width.This is going to be a keeper with me as it fills the need for speed and handles so well. The fact that so few were sold will make it more of a seller later.The changes only made about 12 hp more.Not worth price, since we are.60 cents to the pound.

 PS

Some sort of wind deflector is a must at over 85 mph
