It's not a GS but at least it's a Suzuki called the B King

Has the new Busa motor, 1350cc around 175hp??

I may just get one next year and with alittle mods go after those ZX14's

Heard the new Busa has some sort of traction control for 08, wonder if this one does too or if it's all rumor.

Wheelie control would be nice. Liter+ sportbikes have so much HP and torque nowadays it's hard to keep them from flipping over backwards when getting on the gas hard in low gears. Would be nice if the ECU would cut out the ignition for a split second to keep the front wheel on the ground so you could pin the throttle on these new beasts and not worry about getting ejected. :D
 
I would buy the BKing over a Busa. I thought the rumor was that they wouldn't be available in the US? They are cool as hell!
 
Variety is definitely the spice of life, but this particular variety is not for me. 8-[

Never did care for the ergonomics of the lay-down bikes, but the looks of this one make it appeal to me even less.

I'm not saying it's ugly or anything like that, just that it does not appeal to me. :cry:

Everyone has their own individual tastes but the first thought to pop into my mind after viewing the pics of this bike was, "Quick Robin, to the Batcave!" :-D
 
How about a new villain for the Transformers II movie? Yuck, give me a motorcycle that looks like a motorcycle.
 
They should've gone with a more standard looking exhaust and used integrated turn signals similar to the Gixxers.
 
I see what you mean on second glance that headlight does have a transformeresque look to it. Complete with a little tranformer face inside.

Well in that case, where do I sign up?:-D

Seriously though, I could really get to like the looks of that bike if it were'nt for those huge tailpipe fin looking thingys sticking out the back.
 
One twist of the throttle and I bet you'll be saying holly crap Batman. I'd mount an ignitor and pump some fuel into the tips for that flame thrower effect. You can always paint the headlight to match your helmet.

Now if I could only find Batwoman

The new Busa have a 3 position power switch and the B King only gets the 2 position switch.

The exhaust tips do stick out a bit but after seeing all the other brand bike's exhaust I could get use to it after seeing all those 55 gal drum cans mounted on the side.

Okay, then I will. IT'S UGLY.
 
Ugly is an under statement!!
But I will admit, it looks better than a Busa. Course, my morning stool looks better than a Busa.

Dude, 6 year old thread.. Really?
 
How did you dredge this one up, Tornado?

HayabusaLady is riding a BKing these days...looks fine to me.
