03-03-10 - Suzuki B King

Having dropped off the Hornet, Streetbike decide that my next machine should be a 2010 Suzuki B King, a bike with the Hayabusa 1300 engine in it, and a rather unique style! Plus at £8,100, you get a hell of a lot of bike for your money.

Here are my first impressions after my journey home on this amazing bike!

Hi again luke, i decided on the z1000sx, i know its a big drop in power but its a catagory 15 on the insurance, its realy comfortable and feels like a sportbike but with lots of torque, the 6.5k-7k rpm pull you get is kinda awsome ;)

Also the rust problem suzuki's have, i looked at the bolts and brackets etc on the B-king, if not cleaned it will rust, low grade metal and zintec , the kawasaki however, the only problem rust area i could see would be the exhaust collectors/cat, review z1000sx ;)

@danthefour Great Bike! Ride Safe bro!

Whats the seating possition like on a B-King? Im 6ft3 with an old bike injury, i can't sit upright for too long or my coccyx goes into nerv pinging mode. Im after changing my gsxr1000k7 for something more comfortable and practical. (i took a pillion with me on monday to the mayday run, now i hate my bike, it hurts) In an ideal world i want more comfort, cheaper insurance(getting caught doing a wheely sux) but don't want to saccrifice power. Is this bike spongy around corners? gear restrictions?

@danthefour I find it comfy, although it will feel like its pushing your knees out the first time you get on it! Its nice, upright, and very comfy for me and im 6 ft 3 too! nice handling for a naked bike, and yeah , its got the Hayabusa engine bro...................its fookin fast!
