nice. its a pretty tough looking bike. i like it.

Hagarr

Yeah when i first saw it it reminded me of the kat when it first came out i didn't like it at all but i soon got used to one and loved every minute of it. One of those bikes i should never have sold.[B)] Hopefully have the same fun on this one.

Stupid 16.5ltr tank...:(
Stupid Ugly Tank/side pods...:(
Useless F@ckin' pillion seat / no grab rail...:(
Shitty cheap paint that marks even cleaning it...:(
Crappy rear guard that weighs 2kg !...:(
Silly rear pipes that aren't even pipes, just cheap nasty
covers that do nothing...:(
Headlight that looked good on the concept then lost it
on the production run for no good reason...:(
Stupid key in the tank that I cant find when I put
my tank bag on...:(

But I forgive it all its faults...
I F#ckin' LOVE IT.

Thats the one Hyo from McCullochs. The pipes originally stuck out past the tail by about 80mm so we got the hacksaw out and trimmed a bit more off and changed the tips and yes it does sound "HORN"

I took a GSX14,Busa and the B King for a test and the BK was by far the best. I haven't done many K's yet but does everything you'd expect and some.

Apart from the other things Tony mentioned above^^(of which would most would be an issue if you owned one) I always thought the ugliest thing on the B-King was those pipe/pipe-covers. Going just on looks, they are the main thing which needed replacing.

Now that you've changed them, the bike looks awsome! nice choice, they look really good and improve the entire look of the bike.

Hagarr
24-06-2008, 11:28 AM
Yeah as soon as i looked at it i thought if i bought one those pipes and rear guard have to go. Like most bikes nowadays i find the pictures in the magazines or brochures don't do them any justice you really need to look at them in the flesh.

I've done enough K's on it to know I can live with them.

I rode every other naked I could.

Yeah, I liked the GSX14, XJR, ZRX, CB etc, but they are low tech
muscle bikes that lack decent running gear and top end performance.

I liked the Fazer, Z1000, Hornet, etc but they just lack the grunt
you get with the bigger CC's.

All good bikes, but they cant do what a B-King can.

....and what motor's going to be more tuneable than a Busa / B-King
when you look for some big pony's or go faster goodies...[8D]

Yeah, im sure the others will join in.
More the better....[8D]

V-Max looks like a non-event, its aimed more at V-Rods and Rocket111's,

Honda will be worth a look, I'd rather have seen it with a Big-bore
updated 13/1400 Blackbird motor than a 1000. Supose what it lacks in
grunt and tuning potential it gains in light weight and sporty nature.

I understand what you mean mate, i was complementing the bike. I was trying to say that you wouldn't notice those things (not big things i know), unless you owned one. Just going on looks and the specs sheet, it really is an attractive outstanding bike like you've said, apart from those bloody pipe covers. Now they've gone it looks heaps better.

It's amazing looking at production bikes the different angles they get on things yet they still look OK. Whenever I do mods to my other bikes i'm always trying to make angles of items match but if you look at this bike you can get away with a lot more than you think.

I guess thats why those German Streetfighters look so cool. When you first look at them you go WTF but then you go well thats kinda cool.

Your right.

Depends if they have internal tubes or not,
but either way they lean the wrong way.
They really should lean forward...

Tap at the bottom without.

28-07-2008, 07:24 PM
There are some bloody nice examples there Tony Nitrous!! i like the mirrors on the orange one. I'd have to agree with Si on the mirrors, small and low is the go. i think a low-mount shorty can would look better than undertails, but by the looks of the black one on the dyno, there's some brackets which need cutting off. I'd like to see someone change the headlight/fairing too, something different. I still love the shrouds, they look so phat and menacing from front-on, and look stylish from side-on.

B-king= heaps of potential.

Looks pretty but turn's the bike into a Useless "show Pony".
I'd put money on kicking his arse out on the road,
Arm's too long and tyre too wide,
but that doesnt change the fact its different and well done.

20+ bikes mostly Sportsbikes,

F@ckin' loved it and the bike held its own.

Was always at the front with Bri (GSXR1000) and
Lance (R6) through the best of the twisty's when
the pace hotted up.

Best factory bike i've ever owned.

To quote Lance's post...
Over Somerset dam, I had a bloody B-King headlight permanently imprinted in my mirrors.
Couldn't shake the thing, I swear he just tied a rope to me and hung on.

Awsome idea Tony, cos that can would look hot on your BKing. That side by side comparison shot does no favours for the standard can/plastic cover setup, F&*K they're ugly.

As for the big wheel, looks awsome!! 100% tough! But i agree with Tony, it's not practical if you love twisties. On the other hand if you weren't into twisties, how could you not get one? they are horn!!

Tony OW31
21-09-2008, 11:50 AM
Tony, I agree with most of your comments, the 16.5ltr fuel tank doesn't seem to be a problem tho' I get more k's than I did on my last 2 bikes before it needs filling (ZRX1200R, CBR1000RR) so if you are out with other bikes it's not going to be a problem.
Agree with the others tho, and I will add that the standard rear tyre is crap, spins up anywhere and everywhere. When it's rooted I will put a 190 pilot power on, it might quicken the steering up a little.
I also took the steering damper off to try it, made a huge difference, turned quicker and at low speed in traffic it was a different bike. Put it back on tho when it did a big tankslap and nearly threw me off. It seems to need it. Maybe a better quality one would be better.
Anyway here's mine with Yoshi's

The "All black" B-King's come with Black Can's and Swingarms.
The B-King's with the silver/grey panels come with silver/alloy
finish to the can's and swingarm. Front calipers can be black or
silver on either bike, it varied on the run.

Standard swingarm is backless, just web/mesh infill.
