Well, I did it. I was at Mid Carolina Power Sports yesterday and they took in a B King on trade. They asked me to take it out and see if there was any problems and what I thought about it. It has a little over 8000 miles on it and was in great shape.
It looks heavier than it feels. At low speed it was easy to drive in traffic and when I got it in the country I cranked on it as hard as I wanted to, not being my bike, and it was bad fast. I'm not sure you really need 6th gear but it has one. I pushed it past 150 mph and that was enough for me on the street. It turned easier than I thought it would in the curves, tucking your knees into the tank and doing a little counter steering. Not bad at all.
A nice break from the track bikes I'm used to riding. Has anyone else had an opportunity to ride one or what do you owners think of this beast?
