Just wondering if anyones ridden the Suzuki B King and what they think about it. I have yet to see it at the dealership I frequent. I have reserves about the "naked" bikes but this one catches my eye. Just curious what other riders think about it's radical ,futuristic, "muscular" looks.
the back is ugly, but when you remove the monstrous exhausts and the fender, and put twin pipes on it, it is the best looking tail section i have seen. Its the hideous gas tank and nose that get me...
There was one at the dealership when I picked my bike up. They had put an aftermarket twin exhaust which helped a ton on the looks. Is comfy to sit on, but still looks like a chubby transformer.
seen one at the dealership and it was HUGE. i hesitate to call it ugly, however, as some like the styling of that type of bike. let's just say it's not for me. it's got sort of a road warrior look to it that's mildly appealing to me, tho...

I'm thinking about getting one at some point. I'm 6'5, 350lbs, so I think the bike would look more normal sized with me riding it ... At this point the ZX-14 is higher up my list, but the B-King is an option. I can't figure out why it's $1000 more than the Busa though. Same powerplant, less plastic. Why the steep price difference?

Got any pics of that? I've always wondered what the B-King would look like with those oversized, overweight cannons removed, but haven't been able to locate any pics myself.

imo, it's just butt ugly in pictures or in person. but that's just me.
one of my riding buddies has his heart set on one as a daily driver. I believe he got to ride one and said the power was amazing and it was actually comfortable.
