Anyway, why get a B-king when there are loads of nice busas you could be riding. Dress that fat chick up a little and she looks better.

The only things about the B-King I don't like are the wide gas tank and the exhaust. The exhaust can be changed to make it look pretty decent. In all black with some carbon fiber cans the B-King looks pretty mean. If i wanted to buy a no nonsense power naked the B-King would be at the top of the list. Gobs of power and decent handling, sound good to me. I just don't understand why it costs more than the Busa.

Wow - My thoughts exactly.

Saw the BKing @ a local dealer w/ Dual Carbon Fiber TwoBrother Cans.

UNREAL.

The best rear end on a bike ive seen. Doesnt make up for the front, but man it looked mean.

Hey, I didn't buy the B-King, I just took it out for a test ride. I need a whole lot more straight road to see what kind of top end the bike had and to me it handled fine for a bike of that stature. I have seen one with the Two Brothers exhaust on it and it made quite a difference in the looks. The Buell is still bad ugly and at last check no new exhaust to help or nice aftermarket modifications. I was able to ride one of the 1125's at the Buell Inside pass at VIR a couple of months ago and wasn't impressed. If I were in the market for something like the 1125 I would get the Aprilia RSV, a nice looking bike with basically the same Rotax engine. And the Aprilia is an eye catcher for the ladies unlike the Buell.

The B-King was fun to test. I'm sure those who have one really enjoy them. One thing for sure, you can ride it all day long and not get tired. Nice seat and everything comfortably within reach.
