Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The first UK bike test of the new B-King but how will it compare next to a superbike, super naked and a retro roadster.

    Im fortunate to have a B King stuffed in the garage with a wide mix of mc's. The BK is a keeper. If they only knew how much the bikes look is transformed with a set of Yoshi cans and a tail tidy..... Or how easy it is to ditch the restrictions with the ECU..... Or how much the bike has really become a classic and sought after bike now 12 years later here in the US..... Track time..... Its not a track bike, goofs.... Its a naked Busa and thats always a great combo. The BK was way ahead of its time and brought at the wrong time.

    MCN really are the kings of "lets get 4 completely unrelated bikes that cost completely different amounts and are used for completely different things and then compare them and tell you which one is best."

    Hey guys, get it together on the looks of the B King. It looks awesome. Love the Transformer appearance. Why can't you guys give credit to Suzuki for having the BALLS to do something different? And that thing goes....

    it's only the looks stopped me buying one (me being used to road bikes about 230kgs). I'd have to flatten out that awful rooster's arse rear end after the seat area so it could carry a rack and some luggage. Now there's a thought.

    Proof there, that MCN only care about sports bikes. B-King is a Monster and also can be ridden like a cruiser.

    I wanted one soooo bad in 2008. Bought a Concours 14 so my wife could enjoy riding too. Picked up a B-King in 2013 and love the odd ball it is. I could never ride it for long periods of time like my Connie, but it is so much fun when I do get on it.

    Horses for courses, so choose a bike that meets your needs or wants, it,s great to have have varieties to coose from. credit to suzuki for producing a bike that has been kept close to it's concept idea.

    It's 2023 and I'm a fan of naked bikes of that era. What is the blue bike? I honestly can't tell nor understand what he says '...R'. I like it and it reminds me of a honda 919 but the engine is bigger and overall looks more fancy. Anybody?

  • @OldWriter205
    @OldWriter20515 жыл бұрын

    It is big, yes, but remember, it was not designed to be a bend over crotch rocket. It is more of what they call a STANDARD bike, like a Suzuki Bandit would be. And right now, we have an '05 Bandit for sale on the Birmingham, AL Craigslist, my son does, so that he can buy a new Bandit. Don't lie bend over bikes. I have a 99 VFR 800 as one of my bikes. It is fast, light, and you still get to sit mostly upright.

    Most of the B-Kings I have seen on the street, and there aren't many around here, have had the pipes changed to round, carbon fiber simulated noisemakers. YAWN. Me? I left my pipes stock and I have had many the comment on how good the bike looks. Those pipes on the back complement the robot transformer looking headlight (face) and I don't plan to change the pipes.
