New bike: Suzuki B-King

[Wayne]

This is one fine looking bike.



Suzuki B-King

I cant wait till next year when the used market will be full of these after newbies buy them and get scared right off of it.
Then I will make my move.

Exactly what I thought. Just need a red horizontal glowing light and that hummm.

That would look too much like KITT, the Camero from the show "Knight Rider"

Tisk, tisk, Pat.

I did a search just to be sure, but it wasn't a Camero!

Universal Studios used a 1982 (some say a 1982 ½) Pontiac Trans Am for the original KITT

I think the bike's tank reminds me alot of the V-Max! But it looks like something a POWER RANGER would ride!? No Thanks!

The B-King is cool all right, it's custom and maybe that's the problem? I love custom bikes but not necessairily by the factories? If anyone can buy a custom then it's not cool anymore? It looks over the top for a "stock" bike? I do like it though. The one thing that I don't like is the exhaust coming out too high and too big, looks awkward?. Sounds like I'm contradicting myself humm?

I guess beauty IS in the eye...

You guys really like that? I don't see anything that I like on that bike. That's why they have Vanilla AND Chocolate, right?

For me it is what the bike can do, looks are second. Yeah its fun to compare angles and curves and details like that, but when I am on the seat going down the asphalt I can't see what it looks like. When I am sitting on it and riding I can feel how it fits and what it is doing. So I guess if it handles well, passes with a few seconds of exposure, goes at least 150 miles before gas and monkey butt, and can keep up with TC, then all thats left is comparing it to others in its class. (All this assuming I am shopping and it is on the comparo list.)

All bikes look cool to me. How they make me feel on the road is more important. How I fit is also important. And the mechanics and technology are what interests me.

But yeah it is still fun to critique them.

By the way what does this thing have that's interesting?

You called him on the fact that it was a Firebird / Trans-Am but you then proceeded to spell CamAro wrong just like he did!!!

I wouldn't have said anything but that's just un-American!

I like the King Bee. Wish the XS11 looked that good.

Look really close.

Look at the pics really closely. Does not the headlight look like the riders helmet? And look at the pic straight from the front. does not the air intakes look like the riders shoulders? Looks to me like the bike is the rider.

Still, is an interresting piece....if it actuallymakes it to production.

It has already been presented in Europe.... but it is piss ugly.
nothing like the concept anymore.

It does look like one of "the Transformers". Suzukitron?

[50gary]

I do not care for this version thus far. I real life perhaps, but not now.
