    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.

    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.

    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.

    Not issues.
    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 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]
