| OK, I still haven't found my camera in the boxes so I have resorted to my Blackberry camera. I admit they are kinda cheesy quality. Anwyay, this is Bee parked in front of my lab in the plant. One of my co-workers decided if I can park my bike, he can park his (the nerve!) in any case, that's his red Buell next to Bee. Ain't she purty? B-Rex |

| I still don't see where some of you all think Bee looks like a transformer? Look at the pic below please and explain the comparison (scratching head)? No matter how many times I look at it, I still just don't see it. Go figure? B-Rex Last edited by B-Rex; 03-30-2008 at 05:40 AM. |

Safety in numbers I always say. I just bought a Bandit from a Suzuki dealer, and there was a B-King right next to it. I sat on it a few times while admiring my new Bandit and I couldn't believe there was a naked motorcycle that could make the 1250 Bandit feel small, but that is exactly what the B-King did!! It's radical styling is a bit much for me, but it sure is interesting to look at. | |

| My wife and I went out for lunch today. The Suzuki dealer was on the way to the restaurant, so I stopped by to pick up the tank cover I had ordered. We walked around the showroom floor, and I showed her the B-King. Without me saying a single word, the first thing out of her mouth was, "It looks like a transformer."

| Lol. We should have a contest to see who is the first to see one of these beasts with a designer plate that reads "TRNSFMR".

| I can't get behind this styling. I've got a feeling this "style" will pass. The underseat exhaust looks cartoon-like. JMHO

| Eh, the bug styling is huge over in Europe with their naked bikes. I think it'll be several years before the trend goes away.

I am first timer on this site. I p/u mine from WI and gotta tell you.. It does look like Transformer to me. My daughter said it looks intimidating. I love it.. By the way, the store service guy (he is a racer) told me to break in starting with B mode for a good 200 miles.. Have you heard? Thanks.. | |
