Oops there aren't two of them this was another angle.
I was wondering what the suprise was going to be!!! You lucky buggar.
I can see a B-King GSX drag showdown coming up[]
nice. its a pretty tough looking bike. i like it.
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.
Best production naked by a mile.
Busa motor meets Nutter Bandit meets Gixxer running gear...[8D]
Money well spent....[8D]

Email sent.
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.
Tony that will ping back. I had asked Si how to change or edit my details but i can't remember which thread it was on so he has probably answered but i still don't know. you'll have to resend to ganxta@iinet.net.au and if you know how to edit pls let me know.
lookin foward to seeing it out on a ride , might have to take a change of underwear with me though
Don't know about you taking a change this old fart might need to LOL
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.
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.
Hagarr. I changed your profile for you mate. The email address is now correct.
Thanx Si

Just minor things that stop it being perfect for me.
I've done enough K's on it to know I can live with them.
I rode every other naked I could.
Unless you want a pretty bike to pose in shop windows,
This is THE factory naked bike to own.
Its the ONLY one with USD's, 200-rear, alloy frame, radial calipers
AND master cylinder, etc etc AND a full on big bore litre+ motor.
Well done Hagarr...[8D]

It just fitted me and felt better than anything else i tried. The other nakeds are like classics 70s - 80s this is more like the old but it embraces the new technology as well Digital dash etc.
Yeah, I liked the GSX14, XJR, ZRX, CB etc, but they are low techquote:Originally posted by Hagarr

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]
