The B-King is a naked bike manufactured by Suzuki, that was unveiled in 2007. It uses the same 1,340 cc engine that is fitted to the Hayabusa. Add in cutting edge chassis and suspension systems, crazy acceleration and precise handling, and you've got yourself a bike that definitely rivals that bastard Sideways.
However, due to the economic and financial crisis at the same year, its sales charts have disappointed Suzuki and the project represents too much of an investment for them to simply discontinue it, so the solution is to make it more attractive for potential buyers. That goal appears to be accomplished on the 2010 model year, which gets a nice blue/white color scheme and 1970s style gold rims.
This is the only bit of information about the 1300cc Japanese naked, but the bike appears to be unchanged apart from that. Sure, you all could have lived with shorter silencers, but Suzuki is keen on the rocket-launcher ones, so that’s what you’ll keep on getting. Its pricing is approximately US$13,000.
