Tony nitrous 0 Posted October 16, 2011 Hi. Followed a link here from the B-King forum.Lived in Kiddeminster for 40 years, moved out to Brisbane Australia 7 years a go.Best thing I ever did.Had a few bikes, everything from FS1E, KDX,ZZR11, GSXR11, to Sportster, Katana, a couple of Bandit 12's, a couple of Hayabusa's, probably 45 or 50 in total i'd guess?Still get back to the UK every couple of years, and its good to be intouch with the UK bike scene.Always happy to help with any advise on migatingor holidays to Oz.Tony.

Tony nitrous 0 Posted October 16, 2011 I got fed up waiting for Suzuki to build the B-King, My naked Busa is shorter, lighter, better pillion bike,has more leg room and cost less than half the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I bought another last year I hunted about to find the right Mk1, rather than a later model.Mate Kev just re-did the seat for me. Nothing flash, just higher back, lower front how I wanted.

paulgsx1300bk 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks for the welcome in my thread, so heres a welcome for you I see you still have the oe exhausts on your bike is that a peronal choice or are the laws very strict down there? Here in Ireland we don't have nct tests(mot) on bikes, but for how ever long more I dont know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony nitrous 0 Posted October 23, 2011 B-King stock as a rock, Dont like the factory exhaust, but mine was bought as a legal run-about.Cops CAN ticket you for loud pipes but normaly dont.I'd lost most of my points and was close to a ban so couldnt risk it.I have 3 modded or loud bikes, there are days that itsnice just to not have to watch out for cop's or piss off the neighbours in the early hours.B-King isnt my favorite bike, it does its job but has too many points where the naked Busa is much better than it.No MOT's or annual Safety Certs here in Qld. You only need one if you want to sell it still registered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
