2007 suzuki bking 1300 cc!
an ugly bastard, but nevertheless a naked hayabusa
should be interesting if they have kept the weight down, and haven't detuned it...
won't matter with all the busa engine development over the last 7 years.

True , looks hideous, I am sure if we could ask the designers they would have a diffeent opionon on the why's?
Heckl how many OEM exhausts of any brand look good? I can only think of 2 and neither is a Japenese model and I would still toss them for a lighter more powerfull aftermarket pipe
That tail section looks good, not to hard to imangine how much better it would look with an aftermarket pipe
and a larger fairing windscreen

But if you go to the hayabusa.org site, they probably think it's outrageously gorgeous.

I think it could be turned into something nice. Toss a few parts and change a few others and add a supercharger like it's suppose to have in the first place, and she'll become much better looking.

Well some will of course, same is true on any model/brand specific boards for the most part.
Stupid shit really, especially when you can go to a bike night or ride or the local bike shop everyone gets along regardless of what you drove.
Ya would think after reading some posts on any given board it would be a war! amazing how real life is so much different than the internet world.

well not that different. I ride with a groups of about 40 or so guys and I still get to hear how ugly the busa and suzuki guys think my Zx-14 is. I mean we get along but still give each other crap. And, I admit, I have fun telling the busa guys that at least the front of my bike doesnt look like a limp penis with a headlight stamped on it hanging over a fender, like theirs does. LOL

Looks like they are trying to use some of Yamaha's new Vmax ideas with functional side air intakes... and except for the obvious gixxer looking tail unit it very much resembles the new Max. Bad news is, it's about 500cc's smaller.

I like it, I'd buy it if it's not too dumbed down. I've been waiting for a bigbore naked bike for a good long time that's not too watered-down/pussied-out, even planned in making my 12 into one since the manufacturer's won't build one but ran out of funding here at the house. I've heard there's no plans to bring this BK to the states, I think they'ed be missing out on a possible market with the Busa's street credentials(engine) and the fact that America wants everything bigger and more powerful.
They need to change the name though, it's not supercharged like the concept B(oost)King.
And B-King makes me want to go out and buy some B(urger) King for some reason.

radial brakes and all, the motor has been detuned no doubt, but I wouldn't leave it stock anyway.
already Lots of engine development for its busa engine....

Sweet looking machine, IMO. Everyone had a woody over that look when it was shown a couple years back....PRIOR to the new Vmax.
