why the b-king over the busa?

I've never ridden the Busa- Haven't found anyone willing to let me on one

But the B-King is lighter...or not...just looked at their site and the B-K is 15 kilos heavier. Tell me how that makes sense? And the B-K has a 45 mm longer wheelbase...hmmm. Nevermind... The bus must be scary fun. Too bad they make hypersports so damn ugly.

And they dulled the engine quite a bit for the B-King like I knew they would.
I remember seeing the original concept unveiled a couple years ago at a big motorcycle show and the bike was supercharged making around 250 hp, that's why it's called the "B-King" which originally meant Boost King. As soon as I saw it I knew it would even never ever get built or be realeased with 30 horsepower less than a stock busa. Shame.

thought they said that it was the same tune as the busa, just different exhaust so it lost a couple hp.

Dunno- still way too much for a beginner.

Probably too much for me, but damn, love that torque

Wish they'd quit with the fugly exhausts though.

Well, not to say I was a newbie but I started out on a 2001 Gsx-R 1000 off the showroom floor and trailered it to a parking lot where I was riding on one tire in 10 mins of launch... Had 3 1000's so far and no major injury (knock on my wood). I did have a long history of thrashing dirt bikes but still a nice bike to learn on the street in my opinion. I think its all up to just how in tuned you are with your suroundings and ability to adapt to change, IE old blue hair pulling out in frount of you.

I really hate it when I see so many people bitch about a young person getting a bike they have dreamed about for years.

Its all up how much info your brain can compute in a short amount of time and space...

Hate hate hate...

P.S. im currently building a 350 twin 2-stroke 125 chassis street bike that should be death for most 1000's in the curves...
