Tony nitrous

G'day.

Recommended Posts

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 migating
or holidays to Oz.

Tony.

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.

My chopped-about 1980 1100ET,
bought in AU to replace my Katana I sold in the UK.


...and the Bland-it-12 that ALWAYS makes me grin like a nutter,
again, bought to replace a UK bike.

I get told that they are all the same.
All 1000cc+, 4 cylinder, unfaired Suzuki's.

Why haven't I got a Sportsbike, Dirtbike, Cruiser etc?

To me they are very different bikes.
I just like my Big Suzuki's.

That's VERY nice !
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.

Thanks for the welcome in my thread, so heres a welcome for you Laughing

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.

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 its
nice 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.
