I have a BKing tuned and stock it's fast tuned it's very fast and yes it's a bike that stands out and in the Twisties it handles like a much smaller bike and I rode mine like I stole it as it sees triple digits every time I ride it and I'm 72 years old and have owned mine since 2007 and yes old guys love speed too

I like the crazy look of the stock cans.

I changed mine, but I still think the originals are OK

You've got a 'Busa AND a B-King? *Subscribed* (The reason why you get more looks on the B-King is because people are trying to figure out what the heck it is lol)

I have an 07 B-King that I've owned since 2014. In the UK these were sold between 2007 and 2012. My bike is now worth about 50% more than I paid for it, because when I bought it they were still unpopular and it is only with the passing of time that people have realised what a damn fine bike this truly is. There are only about 600 of them in the whole of the UK, so it's great to have something rare and very different from "the norm".

Love my King, I drive it like a muscle car around town, and a sportscar in the Twisties

Love the vid ! I have a bking and love it ! You are spot on talking about the ergonomics, I think its more fun to ride. I also have a suzuki busa, yamaha vmax, aprilia caponord and a little Honda CBF 600 but always end up using the bking on the day ! Absolutely love it !

I love the stock look

I really like the standard look of the mufflers, I have a pair of Yoshimura pipes on with the standards mufflers over it, looks standard, sound's brutal.

holy shit, I just found my bike! I been riding since 1995, I never heard of this beauty. Seriously. I been in love with the busa ever since I rode a gen 1 in 2007. I was harley rider at the time. I like my bikes like I love my women, with a fat ass that likes to get manhandled. But I never been a sport rider. 600's are too puny for my fat ass, 1000's are too sporty and now days way too expensive. But the Busa, was big, heavy, and that torque. Those same things people say they dont like about the busa is what made me like it. I have no interest in going 100+, dragging, track days, group riding, flexing ego, etc. I just ride, daily, rain or shine, to work and to go out. And no matter what I buy, I always end up with a Harley, because of the big motor. All i care is how the bike handles and performs from 0-100 mph. through traffic and twisties. no chicken strips for me. I been so frustrated that I considered buying a 2009 Busa and stripping naked and modding it into a muscle naked bike, and hopefully moving the powerband towards something more useful to me. I have owned a V-Max, an R1 (for like 1 month), a CBR-600F4, and an assortment of Harleys from 80's, 90's, and 00's. My question to you sir is: The B King sounds like the answer to my prayers. But I understand it is rare in the USA. If I cant find one, you think it is doable to convert a busa into a B King? All of your questions and comments are greatly appreciated.

Look up Busa to B-King conversion. I bet you’ll find something out there.

I had both, decided on the B King just for the more comfortable riding position. I actually liked the look of the Busa better. Also, insurance is more affordable with the B King.

I have a B-King as well, all the way from South Africa. Very rare bikes and I always get people coming up to me to find out what bike it is! I have flashed the ECU, bar-end mirrors, Yoshi pipes, and a Puig screen. I definitely want to see more of the B-King! I subbed.

I'm still waiting for Kawi or Suzuki to make another naked standard bike featuring their biggest inline 4. How could you not like that?

I have an 08 king and if something happened to my king I would search the Earth to get another. It's my 3rd bike and favorite by far. Just a word of advice start out in b-mode if your not use to the power. Once in a-mode you'll never look back. The attention your gonna get on this bike you'd think you were riding a spaceship. I get wtf is that all the time and don't let me have my girl on the back and she got on spandex lmao. I thought one day a mustang was trying to keep up with me because of her big booty so when we got to the light and he rolled his window down I knew it was about to be on. You know this dude pulled up to ask me what the heck kind of bike is that? 😅. If you're thinking about getting one, think no longer and just go get it. I promise you, you won't regret it. Change the exhaust and get 5inch risers like I did and safe riding!

Great video bro. I'm in Tempe Arizona, riding an 03 gsxr 600. Been considering upgrading to a B King.

See you binned the stock mirrors, good call. IMHO the stock cans have a "unique" look. Have both a 'Busa and a B...love 'em both. I recommend the Heal-Tec X-Tre. 4th gear mode truly takes the leash off.

Love the bike great review

I knew the way you talked about your bikes that you would like the B-King, I'm still going for the Hayabusa, and get risers for it.

BKing dry weight is 518, but still just a few lbs lighter than Busa when wet, ...nice video!

Ive got a 02 Busa and Bking, Bking accelerates harder to me, but 02 busa faster. The Bking is a crazy bike without the wind protection it feels unbelievable. Who is use to moving that fast without the fairings that on sport bikes. Its more comfortable of course, but 02 busa just keeps on pulling. Incredible bikes.

Also the higher center of gravity and higher seat height makes it feel lighter than the Busa

i got a zzr1200, kinda want one of these for shorter trips since this one doesnt have as much fuel and really im a sucker for rare bikes

Hey man, awesome video and perfect timing. I'm looking to replace a Panigale with either the Hayabusa or BKing and will be taking them both for a test ride next week. Only concern with the BKing is the lack of fairing, as the commute is 170Km round trip. Safe riding.

@602Busa

If you are commuting that much and prefer the bking over the busa, I would get an aftermarket windscreen to help. but if I want to ride fast over a long commute, the busa to me is better due to the fairing.

602 a bking will never be a busa and bking doesn't have a wind screen and trust me on the highway it will be a nightmare!

This bike looks way better than the Busa! I hope they make a new version that looks like My GSX750S 👍 That would be a perfect right now to fight the KTM 1290!
