Description
The Suzuki B-King is considered one of the bulky looking bikes manufactured by Suzuki. However, once the B-King is in the state of flow, the weight slowly disappears, and the rider won’t be even able to guess the actual weight. The B-King also comes with the amazing pair of brakes and the suspension is also marvelous.
The B-King has the amazing engine which comes from Hayabusa which can produce 164bhp with a mind-blowing 94.5ftlb of torque. Sadly, the engine is only limited to 150mph.
The build quality in the B-King is amazing with a sense of sturdy and bulky feel to it. It is one of the most reliable bikes from Suzuki with a bullet proof body which can easily take on a heavy modification.
The B-King comes with a mandatory power switches A and B. If the rider selects A, it gives the rider the full power and if the rider chooses to select B, it gives the rider the limited access of power. Many riders are 50/50 on this feature. B-King also comes with a full control to adjust the suspension, both front and rear, meaning that the rider can modify and adjust the suspensions to their need.
Pros
- The B-King has a quite unique look to it. Suzuki has gone with heavier and not to forget a much bulky look for the B-King, unlike its predecessor, Hayabusa. Although a little bulky looking, it has a sportier feel to it and gives a sportier riding position to the riders.
- The B-King uses advanced technology for its design features like seat heating, fully transistorized ignition, twin spar frame and many more.
- B-King comes has killer engine with a fuel injection for the fuel system and a liquid cooling system. The B-King is also extremely fast due to its 1340 cc engine which provides a 160 HP as the maximum power.
Cons
- The foremost turnoff of B-King for some of the riders will obviously be its build and design. Although sporting a unique design no doubt, the B-King has the weirdest and unorthodox design with a huge fuel tank and the head popping up in the front, it tends to draw buyers away.
- The equipment placement in the B-King looks cluttered and off centered. Most of the engine part and the suspensions are oddly appeared to be placed on the frontmost part. The exhaust cylinder also appears off with the whole bike.
- Another factor to be considered as its cons could be the price of the bike since it is not on the budget range or even in the mid-range for most people.
