So why would the B-king cost $1000 more than the Busa? * *

It's a naked bike with the same motor.

My guess is that they have to spend more time finishing parts that are hidden under the Busa's plastics.

That's a pretty good theory but those busa plastics are expensive.

Expensive to buy but probably not to manufacture...

Aprillas are pulling MSRP and more and they are nekkids.

It's a niche market, so they will get it, and so they charge for it.
