Default What Will Kawasaki and Yamaha Throw At the B-King?
Before the B-King actually showed up on U.S. shores (it had already been in Europe for about a year) BMW launched the impressive K1200R. But Yamaha has been threatening the upgraded V-Max forever and Kawasaki hasn't hinted about a serious B-King competitor as far as I know. Honda hasn't let out a peep and I'm not sure anyone knows if they even intend to compete in this arena.

What are the other guys up to? Maybe someone has heard some rumors or seen something buzzing around on the test tracks. I have to wonder if the the other Japanese manufacturers are just sitting around watching Suzuki, BMW and the Italians and waiting to see if their respective models sell well. Anyone heard anything?
