Comments on: Suzuki B-King Custom – When Less is More http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2009/07/15/suzuki-b-king-custom-when-less-is-more/ Motorcycle News for Positive People Fri, 25 May 2012 22:44:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Fallenangels http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2009/07/15/suzuki-b-king-custom-when-less-is-more/#comment-321967 Fallenangels Sat, 23 Apr 2011 20:35:00 +0000 http://thekneeslider.com/?p=6875#comment-321967 I saw the Bking in person on the showroom floor and passed up all other new bikes. The bike's looks has alot of potential, & I have only seen two in the state where I live so it is already a rare find. The bike has had only a few mods and it already out powers/rides/draws attention beyond any bike I have come across on the street. If you passed this bike up you missed out, it will be in my stable for along time to come, & I own a hayabusa that is collecting dust as we speak. It will one day be a legendary colector's bike like the original Katan's are. I saw the Bking in person on the showroom floor and passed up all other new bikes.

I have to admit, I thought the factory pipes were garish. I love the look of the B-King with the Yoshi's, a little height extension on the bars, and the modified tail. Great handling bike with tons of torque. I bought an 09 that had all the nice basic mods. already done to it and 3600km, so I had never seen the factory original until I started to research.

If you dont like the looks, fair enough, but to knock the bike on its performance, get over yourself!! Going from a 88 V-Max is a god send.

I would like to know where the front fender came from. Looks aside, the B King is one of the most fun bikes I have ever owned. I am glad people couldnt get past the looks. It made a great bike come brand new, cheap. Above 7 grand on the tach, you will see God. Thr Yoshi pipes and fender eliminator cleaned the looks good enough for me and the sound is awesome. Besides, there is no ugly Motorcycle, well maybe the Wraith but why complain. They are what we love. I think the custom looks great. I would like to know where the front fender came from.

It now has 16,000 miles on it and I have loved and never regretted buying this strange looking motorcycle. Like others have said...the market is soooo full of faired motocycles its hard to tell them apart anymore. When you see a B-King, you know what it is. I have had many many many comments on this bike, both good and bad. I have always praised this bike. I looked past the huge hideous exhaust when buying it. As soon as Two Bros came out with their exhaust for the bike...it was on mine asap. That changed the bike in sooo many ways! Some 20 lbs lighter, stronger, louder and better looking. I ride this bike as a commuter, a weekend warrior, and a touring bike. I live in central indiana and rode this bike the scenic way all the way to Savannah Georgia with no problems or soreness. Its been on the dragon more than ten times in the past year and half and granted, its not the fastest there..it is very fun! It handles WAY better than you would expect for its size. The mirrors are the next thing to go when buying this bike as its a streetfighter style bike and bar end mirrors are a neccescity for one. I personally have the CRG Hindsight LS mirrors and they show more behind me (without vibration) than the stock ones ever did. All in all...its a great strange looking bike. But you dont buy a bike for its looks...you buy it for how it makes you feel when you ride it.... I have now owned my B-King for 1 and half years.
