God how have they gotten it so wrong??

It had so much potential, a naked busa.

It looks as if they cut the bike into six parts and had a different person design each part without seeing anyone elses, and then stuck them all together...........TA-DAH !!!

AN ABORTION !!

Tony it definately has potential, and if anyone can give it some cred, you will, but mate why should you have to spend thousands on a brand new bike just to not make it look like a turd. Be cheaper to fighter a Busa like you have and you dont get a motor with the nuts cut out.

I just had a look at the pix and both me and the missus said one thing about it (before even reading Nath's post) -
It looks like a fucking abortion!
It reminds of the car that Homer Simpson designed.
It has potential alright - as a boat anchor. Pull the motor out & put in something (ANYTHING!) else.

It looks way to..... french for my liking.

what the B-KING hell is it supposed to be looks like a hornet shagged a bandit

Yup, it's ugly, but it does grown on you when you hang around it for a while...

And yes, it is quite heavy - but (in true, time-honoured, traditional journo speak) the weight disappears as soon as you start moving.

And it's feckin powerful! Pulls from about 12mph in fourth without complaining, and will do over 140mph in second. [8D] Looks like it is the same spec as the new Busa, although intake and exhaust are different so probably not quite as powerful.

But... it appears to be limited to 150mph.

Current Busa cost's about 10c ( .04p ) to derestrict.
Its a 6.8ohm resister from Dick Smiths or Tandy's.
Sends a permanent unresticted 5th gear signal instead of
the governed 1st / 2nd and 6th.
Lets hope the new models are similar ?

Im sure someone will make a lot of money selling all the
usual bolt on crap for B-Kings. They could easy be another
"bolt-on" favorite like the 1400 and Busa's.

Looks like there will be one at the Expo next week along
with the new 08 Busa so you can have a droool over it there Stu..
