Default Getting the B-King!!!!

Well, my wife finalized talks with the credit union Thursday, and Tuesday looks like the day I'll bring the B-King home. I'll be getting it for $11,032 out the door. The pic is one I took while I was out on my test ride. I cannot wait to hit the road again. I sold the 109 a few weeks ago and have been going nuts ever since.

Well here it is....what a fun bike this is...a little discomfort in the hands, but that'll be remedied with some new grips, and eventually the pipes will be replaced, along with a tail tidy....the bike has two "power modes", A and B....A is flat out, balls to the wall no restrictions, and B is what I call "neutered mode", lol. You can REALLY tell the difference between them....in A mode if you give it just a little throttle the nose instantly comes up...haven't taken the tire off the ground yet (and don't intend to), but it sure would be easy to do. B mode is a more manageable around town type setting....anywho, here are the pics.

Nice - I hope it satisfies your power lust! There's not a whole lot of bikes to upgrade to!

this and the new vmax have the wild crazy styling.

and in a few years, it will become normal, like most other styling trends have become over time.

except the square headlight look, that couldn't die fast enough.
