New model - Suzuki B-King

The B-King is really, really here; after six years of waiting, the faithful have been rewarded.

First impressions are all positive and while not having had a chance to actually ride one yet, we predict it will be an extremely livable "first cousin" and (probably) a rowdy alter ego to the legendary and newly re-engineered Hayabusa.
It's hard to miss the 2008 Suzuki B-King sitting on the showroom floor. Visually it is a big motorcycle and that impression remains as one walks around it in silent contemplation and admiration of what has been wrought since its original concept showing at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001.
