Tony nitrous 0 Posted February 16, 2012 I fancy a Gen2 Hayabusa, the B-Kings Baby brother.or Something to take the Mrs pillion on,maybe a clean low mileage GSX1400.orA dragbike. I've raced at the drags for MANY years but always as a ride-in streetbike.Always fancied a trailered real-deal racebike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony nitrous 0 Posted February 17, 2012 B-King has zero competition, because its the only bike in its class.A big bore, 4-pot naked with sports bike suspension and tyres.V-Max/V-Rod/Rocket111 are nothing like.(Shafts/belts and funny size tyres)All the big retro's GSX14/XJR/CB13/ZRXare low tech and lack the top end.The sportsbased naked like the CB1000F/RFZ1/Hornet etc either are castrated or lack grunt.Closest is the BMW K13R but its funny front endand shaft drive rule it out.B-King, no competition really...

I can see its apeal and it should be morenimble (and IS far better looking) than the King.Different tastes.I've ridden M109's and MT01's etc, the owners loved them, I thought they made good lazy bikes but had a serious lack of top-end.For me the best of the bunch was the TL R/S.The B-King makes close to 100 ft/lb of torque. More than many popular "grunty" V-twin's,it just likes a few extra rev's when doing it.Each to their own, different tastes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
