Suzuki to produce the B-King for 2008!! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

interfire83 · 11-04-2006, 03:38 AM

My new isssue of Rider magazine says Suzuki announced production finally. This bike first apperered at motorcycle shows in 01' with a 250hp supercharged busa engine and a 240 rear tire (like in the picture). It says the production bike won't have the boost, and the picture in Rider is clearly not a 240 (looks 190 to me), but the overall design looks unchanged. IMO this bike looks amazing. Sorry I can't find any links to something official, but I didn't try very hard.

Naked busa powered street fighter? yes please.

and by the way they will be making a M109RN (different headlight), the C109, and the new Hyabusa will be faster than the ZX-14.

And they have killed the GSX 1400 and the original Bandit in Europe, because they don't meet the EURO-3 emissions standards.

Fug.

Not my style, but it does look good, and it should be a good seller for Suzuki as long as the price is reasonable. It supposedly will be a mind-year 2007 into in Europe, and hit this side of the pond as an 2008. The motor is a de-tuned version of da Busa, but Suzuki still claims it will be the fastest naked sporty on the planet. Dealers should get the specs and pricing in about 6 months.
