I purchased a new B-King in 2008, and loved every mile of the 28k I rode it. It was totaled in an accident in 2013 and I’ve been sulking ever since. It was a funny thing back when it was introduced. No one knew what to think of it. The big magazines loved to hate it, but honestly seemed to be more confused on its intended purpose than anyone. They’d always end up posing it against bikes like the then new generation V-Max... a bike with a COMPLETELY different philosophy of use. In hindsight, Suzuki was bold to put it out there. The economic recession of ‘08 didn’t help Sale’s whatsoever, and by 2009-2010, dealers were begging to sell the remaining 08’s for peanuts. Great bike. Love the channel, the message of Christ and your content. God bless.

Having this bike since several years, I confirm you analysis. This is an excellent bike with high end quality frame and a very smooth engine (used also on the Hayabusa). This bike has been made mostly for the riding pleasure, you can also go fast with it. I rarely use the B mode (exclusively under the rain). From my point of view the only bike which can be compared to the B King is the the Yamaha VMAX which a heavier power cruiser with a shaft transmission and a bigger engine (1700), the B King is more sport oriented with a high performance engine and a chain drive. Excellent bike and excellent reliability. Many thanks for this nice video and greetings from France. Samir.

I had an 09 V-max with 187 rwhp. I loved it’s look and in a straight line it was a rocket. However, the force it took in the bars to turn the thing (and keep it turning) was AWFUL. Sold it. JUST bought a B-King 2 weeks ago and LOVE it. Looks are not great, but I plan to tinker with mine and improve them. Handling is Amazing. Super light in the bars and very flickable. I’ve done a ton of track days and had many sport bikes in the passed, this 500+ pound muscle bike feels like a GSXR 600 in the bars. Pretty comfy too with adjustable rear sets and bar extensions. Truly love this bike.

That bike is awesome!! My first time ever seeing one.

Interesting, My B-King came with automatic folding mirrors too!

The best review of my bike I have seen. I have had it since February 2012. You are right. This makes a good touring bike. I even have a Hepco & Becker Gobi adventure style top case on it, and it looks okay because of the width of the rear end. It is exceptionally stable and what you didn't get over is how tractable the bike is at low speeds. I can ride through a Spanish village, typically about one mile long in top on no throttle opening, the torque is so strong. It has to be the best naked inline four ever made. I have read about owners who have done 80,000 miles and they have never had to shim the valve clearances. You're going 100 mph at 5,000 rpm in top, just to get things right. Your best review so far.

"New Pole? Good! That old one sucked!!" That was pretty good. Had me laughing!

Still one of the best. Thanks brother. God bless you.

I just bought one. 2 words. “Love it “ she gives me a rush every time ,,,, nice video

I've owned mine from new since 2008 and have clocked over 100,000km. I bought the all black with no abs and replaced the exhaust with two brothers. There's no way I'd ever sell my beast king.

My buddy has one of these. Awesome video to hear all the extra info, I had so many questions in my head haha

Agreed. As a B-King owner, I can attest to a few pleasant aspects. A: Upright seating position. B: Seat itself is comfortable. C: Controllable fury. Mellow, or Malevolent, your choice. Lowered pegs, Airhawk inflatable seat cushion, and if wanted a windscreen, make for an exceptional long range rider. BTW: The ladies love them. The passenger accommodations however; are found wanting.

On the Road/Street? Surprisingly nimble. And, stable. Not LiterBike agile, no. Yet on rough Asphalt Anaconda infested roads.... The King holds it's own against any pretenders to the throne. Including, Super Motards & Adv Tourers. Parking lots? It's a large bike, both in dimension and mass. Add a non adjustable Steering Damper to the equation=No, The King is no "Blacktop Ballerina" by any measure.

the first-time ive seen this bike ...

It cannot be overstated enough. This bike was way before it's time and is an incredible "do everything" machine. Mine has 70000 kms on it and counting. no issues. One of the best for low speed manners also.

the design of this motorbike was a decade ahead at the time, which is why it was not in demand at that time

Such a cool bike! The local dealer had a new one back in the day. I use to drool over it weekly. Alas, I've always been a used-bike-fix-it-my-selfer. Thanks for showing it off!

Got to ride this at demo days when it was new SAF one of my favorite Suzukis ever made and in my top 20 bikes.

I wanted one sooo bad when they came out. Picked up a Black non-abs version with 347 miles 7 years ago. Just put Pirelli Dual Compound 200mm Tires on it and now it finally handles like a sport bike. Just under 6000 miles. It is a blast just to fire up and look at or crack the throttle and grin from ear to ear.

That's awesome!!!! I've never seen one of those. Yeah, the Hayabusas are so smooth and refined. I still remember how it feels. Way smoother than my current FJR1300 for sure. And you're right, as soon as I saw it I was like should I buy one???

Awsome show. Love your verse reading. good job.

In 2008, I had the choice of the GSF1250/S Bandit or the B-King at my dealership. I chose the Bandit because it was more comfortable ergonomically for me. I wasn't a fan of the tank wings hanging out that I had to fit my knees under. I've had many bikes in my 72 years including the 2001 GL-1800 Gold Wing, the 2007 Triumph Rocket III Classic, 2006 Honda PS-250 Big Ruckus, 2007 Kawasaki KLR-650 & the 2011 Kawasaki 650 Versys, all registered & on the road simultaneously. Now I have only two left; the Bandit & the 2017 Triumph Bonneville Bobber high torque 1200, but I haven't found anything wrong with this pair of 1200's yet. They both keep me giggling inside my helmet when I ride them. I think the Bandit is the best kept secret out there; 150+ mph & 59mpg.

love the vids - great work!

One of the coolest bikes I've never heard of. With some updates it would definitely be a contender today. As an older bike it's perfect for someone wanting something rare and different, but with today's power.

Suzuki TL1000S, Kawasaki ZRX 1200, Now a Triumph Speed Triple, which oddly enough of all the bikes I ever had this is the one people seem to like the best, I have gotten more compliments and comments on it than all other bikes I owned put together... It's a 2000 Model in Roulette Green ... so I think that pulls people in.

I have had one of these since 2011 and it is an awesome bike. Mine made about 159 rwhp in 100 °F weather with nothing but a slip-on exhaust.

Yup, never heard of this bike, but I now need it in my life.

Every word you said in this video is spot on! I love it when my BKing "whoose" by loud bikes/cars. The bike is super comfy to ride all day! Splitting traffic is easy due to the brakes on this beast. My only complaint is the small gas tank. Would be perfect if this was 5+ gallon tank. Gotta be careful not to open this thing up on the local street. 1 second in and you're past 45 mph and you're just in 1st gear.

This is basically the king of motorcycle sleepers. It doesn't look that fast and it doesn't sound that fast but boy oh boy!

Awesome beginner bike! Jk, imagine the B King with the current modern electronics packages. Lean angle abs, new traction control systems and anti wheelie plus better modes. Now this becomes a different bike. Not sure if the BKing has the same throttle response as the Hyabusa, but I don't remember the Hyabusa having a ridiculously touchy response like current rockets. Plus, there are bikes flooding the market with over 200hp that weigh 415 and up. The new S1000RR, GSXR, Ducati V4 plus a few I'm missing.

Hi guys big fan of the vids, My mate had a Busa and i had a zx6r ninja so we were out 1 day and thought how much faster is the Busa than my Ninja , Well all i can say is we were both doing 70 MPH and said 1-2-3 go in the blink of an eye he was gone i literally thought he had done a turbo without telling me it was THAT FAST in standard guise. Im about to get the 19 model MT07 and turbo it so i will be doing my first youtube vid of buying the bike doing the turbo instal then taking it to my mate who has a dyno keep the vids coming PLEASE as they are SOO GOOD CHEERS SCOOBS UK.

had one , I hated to sell it but it was the first bike I rode for two years and sold to a dealership that REALLY wanted it , it is crazy fast and powerful ;-)

I bought this motorcycle yesterday, it also has abs. Comfortable and easy to ride. I love it

I was riding the Z1000 Kawi when the B-King came out. I was instantly taken, so I bought a Concours 14/GTR 1400 instead. No way my wife was getting on the B-KING for more than 2 minutes. Now, I have both bikes. B-King = INSTANT STRESS RELIEF.

its great to hear your experience and all that which is good, but it would be good to have a follower or a leader with a gopro to capture the bike, how it looks and turns on the road - like Leno does. God bless you!

Watching this Video because I am pre shopping for my next bike. I typically buy 10- 15 yr old bikes in good shape for cheap. Currently running a 2000 Speed Triple... I think I will keep it. Looking at the XR1200, KTM950 SM for fun..... HD Softail Deluxe, Road king, or Moto Guzzi Eldorado for cruising.... Or Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX or BMW 1150 GS if I want to do offroad exploring. I remember these B-Kings. I like the looks of it and the presence - it's a beast. I don't think I will put it on my short list to consider as cool as it is I think the Speed Triple covers similar territory as far as riding as this does. Thank's for the Video.
