Man, that bike is sweeeet!
I'm a cruiser guy, but really like this B-KING.
That's the first sporty I've seen that I would even consider buying.

The headlamp looks EVIL!

This is what the production bike is suppose to look like. The other picture was the prototype shown in 2001 at bike shows. The prototype had a turbo 'Busa motor at about 250hp. Production is suppose to have a 1500cc (2008 'Busa motor?) 175hp 'Busa motor.



The prototype has 150 front tire 240 rear. No info on the production bike yet. Materials like carbon fiber, stainless steel, aluminum and leather were used building this awesome superbike. An advanced computer system is integrated to the bike. There are self-diagnosis systems, advanced telemetry, which can use a mobile phone for remote maintenance, setup options, and even a GPS-based weather warning system, in case you are heading for a rained out area, and much more. The engineers at Suzuki are supposed to design a helmet with a GPS navigation system using the visor as a display.

The bike is started using a fingerprint recognition system. There's also a advanced thief alarm system. If an unauthorized person tries to start or move the bike the owner gets notified of it immediately by his/her mobile phone. There's a microphone and a speaker built in the bike so the owner can speak with the thief by the phone. If a speaking motorcycle doesn't scare off the thief, you can activate light and sound alarm and the GPS system helps locating the bike if it actually gets stolen. Doesn't sound like any of these features will make into the production model.

More pics of the prototype....











Still questionable whether this will make it to the US or not. Sounds like a sure thing for UK.

They should change the name, sounds too much like Burger King.

How about calling it Mickey D.

Except for minor tweeks--(between the two pics) and aside from the head light. The production model pretty much mimicks the prototype....EXCELLANT!!

I'm always amazed at how much it can change a bike's look, just by adding handle bar mount mirrors. Usually for the worse.

Looks like a big beast. I can't say I don't like like it.

Eh, no thanks. One seater? Kinda reminds me of the SV, not too much my style. I love the pictures that S83 posted above.. "wow", I would trade vows with that bike.

there iws a seam on the tail that would indicate you can pop the pillion off and possibly put a passenger seat. Plus it has passenger pegs.

BTW I looooove the half faired look.

At first glance it reminds me of the Yamaha V-Max, I'll belive it when I see it hit the show room floor. It looks really cool for a bike.
